Grateful I can hide via /r/gratitude

I don’t recognize my reflection in the mirror.

My body doesn’t feel like mine anymore.

Puffy, bloated, heavy.

I’m having to flex my “I’m still me and I’m still lovable” muscle.

My mind is tearing me apart though -“why’d you eat that??”
“You’re back where you started!!”
“Nobody wants to see you like this!”

I know how I’m feeling is only temporary.
I know I don’t want to hide forever.

But today I’m grateful for the ability to hide from everyone.
