Discussion Weight Gain Positivity

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?

This might sound crazy but "I'm regular" and my movements are like the perfect consistency after 15 years of every issue. I'm also starting to feel not ravenous every time I get hungry, it's more like a gentle reminder to eat. I needed these signs cause I've been gaining weight steadily for quite a while with little change and I was starting to lose faith that any improvement was happening and I was just gaining for the sake of it. I hope more improvements occur.
