eI don't like to eat alone either. It can be pretty lonely but it still needs to be done. I wish the two of us could get together to eat but we are much too far apart. I'm glad you have your rats to keep you company. Pets are really important to us. Anyway, why don't you join in the chats around here. Maybe then you wouldn't feel so lonely. Or even have a private chat with someone from the Eating Disorders forum.
