Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that I struggled with for most of my middle school years and a part of my high school years.

At Riverview, 　36 was usually a nightmare (噩梦) for me. As I 　37 the dining hall, all the eyes would be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and 　38 to enjoy a “normal” lunch. The 　39 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly 　40 my friends. They would watch to make sure that I was eating properly, almost 　41 food into my mouth.

And then, I transferred to Madison High School. I decided not to tell anyone at that school about my eating disorder since I had almost 　42 by that time. Strangely, I stopped fearing lunch when I started at Madison. No one knew that I had an eating disorder, 　43 they did not care what I ate. This 　44 a huge amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is 　45 for an anorexic, but I was able to put some of my 46　 aside.

I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared about my health, but they 　47 to care about me as a person. Truthfully, all I wanted was for them to 　48 me and not to fix on my eating disorder.

The students at Madison took the time to know who I 　49 was. They had no idea that I had been an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not 　50 their opinions of me. I was finally 　51 for my talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to show my true 　52 .

My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never 　53 . They taught me about life and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of 　54 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated the people who helped me to see that there is more 　55 life than having an eating disorder.
