The mental struggle!

edited November 2024 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
After what seems my whole life trying to lose weight and being on a constant diet I've taken it too far this time and have been unhealthily underweight for a while now. I know that I need to gain weight, for my physical health but also my happiness! I just mentally am scared of watching the scales go up! Of eating more than the usual 'recommended' GDA's!
Just wondering if anyone has had the similar problems and recommendations as to how to go about getting over the issue! Thank you:)

    bulking is a Mind F for sure. A year ago I started to do one and then chickened out about a month in …finally last fall I ran my first one and put on ten pounds, and while some if it was fat I loved the results and how my lifts felt in the gym. I also found out that the fat came off faster when I ran my cut. Right now I have dropped about ten pounds and am almost back to my pre bulk weight..I am about to transition to .5 pound a week loss and then bulk again in september…

    you just need to enjoy eating the extra foods and push through …the results will speak for themselves...

    This. I had a couple false starts but now I'm doing well and loving the results. Go slow and lift and you be happy.

    Thank you, it's learning to trust the process which is a struggle! Slow and steady is necessary I think, too quickly and I'll freak out!
