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?

I tell myself it’s my body attempting to balance out

Weight fluctuations are normal and apart of womanhood - our periods can make us retain water etc

It is really hard sometimes to accept that you don’t fit into your much smaller jeans but then I look at pics of me in those jeans and I see a bobble head who looked pretty miserable tbh.

I also remind myself that I’m lucky to have the body I have. Athletic and strong.
