I'm sure a few have been through this on here and would like some advice.
I've been fat all my life, even as a child, its only now at 35 I am thin after a big cut last year.
The issue is in order to build any serious muscle I'm gonna have to eat more but I am scared $hitless of getting fat again and its preventing me. I might eat over my TDEE for a day or two but if I see my weight going up at all I eat less the following day. Its happened so many time so strong is my fear.
I really need to trust the process but its really hard for a former fatty.
Any advice guys?

WOW thanks for that, it really describes me to a T0 -
Set a 5-10 lb maintenance or bulk range. Weigh daily if you can handle it, so you learn to identify normal fluctuations. When you get to the top of your range, resume eating at a 250 deficit and logging. You don't regain overnight.1
