You can start off slow to see if just a little gaining satiates you, so you don’t run the risk of that moment of “what have I done to myself?” Like, you can set the goal of gaining 15 lbs in __ amount of time, and trying to stay there at that new weight for a month or something and seeing how you feel. Give it enough time to see how someone in your life reacts, and whether the hurtfulness puts a brunt on the strength of your desire to gain— or if you feel that burn of desire more than ever. It’s such a hard call tho!! I’d probably gain some if it weren’t for how awful people can be, and part of me’s like “it’s none of their business” but I know what you mean about being sensitive to comments. I just wish others’ words didn’t have SUCH a strong effect over something that doesn’t even affect them.
