Do you mean you are going to drink/eat more risky foods...such as coffee, more regularly? When I think "I'm never going to be able to ever drink/eat something again, I just get so depressed. Yet, I think I would be too anxious to even enjoy it.
I opened a can of diet coke, and ended up pouring it all out! Same when I tried to have coffee. It's just so scary that I can't even enjoy it if I tried them.
