You're definitely not a weirdo! I've had a thing going for years now where I make myself eat a full meal before I feed my animals, so I get at least one meal a day. It helps to keep me from spiraling down the starvation rabbit hole, because no matter what I have to provide for my animals. If I eat before I feed them, I'm also providing for myself.
Animals are a great support for the soul. I'm glad you're feeling better, keep powering through it, and I bet you're gonna be a fox in that new dress! Keep taking baby steps, and treat yourself because you deserve it. Rooting for you![]()
