Yes, but you can' change it, you can't stop it, you have no control of what has not yet happened. so breath deep, walk a little faster, call a friend, wright a letter. or take a nap. an no, no food networking channel, or food mags. watch cable tv no comicals of food. Good Luck, and if your fears do come true. then deal with it best you can. just try not to use food to make anything better, it does not work. ⌚️
