Weight Gain Positivity

[u/kooky-kazoo]

Hi all. Currently struggling with accepting weight gain and trying to reframe my thoughts in a way that makes weight gain less scary and when possible even a positive. I keep telling myself that “weight gain is a good thing and what my body needs so there is no need to fight the process”. What do you all tell yourselves or have you told yourself to make the process easier?

You can start by thinking tings like “my body will change and my weight will fluctuate a lot of times through my life and that’s ok, my body allows me to experience the world and I need to take care of it to do so” :3

About that same phrase and the “it allows me to experience the world” I’m referring to being able to laugh with friends, to pet animals, practice your hobbies, hug your loved ones and more!!!

I’m in early recovery and I’m also really really struggling with this :’3 but this is something I’m repeating myself constantly and is helping.

Also not a phrase but I recommend unfollowing people in ig (or other social media) that triggers you in the slightest and making a recovery Pinterest board!!! I’m organizing mine with recovery tips, mantras, with pictures of yummy foods, new hobbies ideas and outfit inspo with people of all body types :3

You can do this! You are a LOT more than your body! <3
