It's okay, and she doesn't notice anything, and we just go on with the hangout, and it's okay.

And the next week, I go to the doctor's again, and we hang out again, and we get pizza, and I'm still really scared, and I don't finish my slice, but at least I know Lana won't be watching me, and I know that she'll still treat me like I'm normal.

And this goes on.

Every week, I go to the doctors, I go to therapy.

I feel really watched by everyone, including my family.

My mom would check my plate at every meal, and I would have to list everything I ate.

But I would always get to see Lana every week, and we would always eat together, and I would always be able to laugh and focus on what she was saying.

And over time, these hangouts really helped me because I'm able to associate food and eating with my friend and the laughter and the joy I feel when I'm around her and also when I'm eating with her.

And it's now about to be ninth grade.

We're about to start high school.

It's a very big time.

I'm kind of nervous about that, but I'm also really excited to start something new.

And I'm doing a lot better with food.

I'm eating a lot more.

I'm feeling a lot less stressed about it.

And a big reason for that is Lana.

And so we're hanging out, and that day we get pizza, and we decide to go to Riverside Park.

And we find this really nice spot that's away from everyone where you can see the river, and we're covered by trees.

And we start to eat our food, and I notice that I'm not thinking about the food, and I'm just thinking about what she's saying and how nice it looks that day.

And so I decide I want to tell her, and I go, hey Lana, throughout quarantine I've had an eating disorder, and I'm a lot better now, and you're one of the main reasons I'm a lot better.
