Gaining

Don't. By the time you're used to looking a bit fatter, you'll be a lot fatter

By accepting the fact that you are getting fatter. I had the dilemma about get fatter each month but thinking as a skinny guy. Once I realize that fact, stop thinking that I was still thin and I started to accept the fact I am getting fatter.

Hearing from others that I have put on weight seems like validation that I am being successful. I love the feeling of being fat. It has changed the way I do things but that is part of what I find exciting.

Go to lots of social events. In this age of facebook and instagram etc. you will end up seeing lots of pics of your new, fatter self and will get used to it much more quickly than otherwise.
