In Wood’s second episode in their podcast on Weird Wellness for Feedist, they dive into the topic on Mental and Emotional Wellness for gainers, feedees, and feeders. They touch on why it’s important to think about your motivations - whether they be motivations to gain or to feed or romance fat people. What is it that you love about fat, and how would you like to embody those aspects? They touch on trauma, the effects of comments from friends and family, and how hard but necessary it is to spend time with yourself and your past hurts as you choose to either go on a gaining journey or to assist one. Along with a couple tips on self-reflection, they emphasize the importance of being gentle with yourself when it comes to darker thoughts and memories bubbling to the surface, and how to balance out racing thoughts of anxiety and training yourself to not be so hard on yourself. They also go on a relevant tangent about their transness alongside their gaining journeys – how that has meant that their motivations towards weight gain has changed with their acceptance of their gender, and how choosing the clothes they love while sizing up and changing how they present themself has helped with their positive self-image.
