not yet.
Maybe the food is a manifestation of the OP's yearning to fulfill his wishes in life and the girlfriend, afflicted with an eating disorder, ate the food. This act was a self-fulfilling prophecy because the OP is also scared to live out his life in a way that will fulfill his hopes and dreams. The girlfriend is the specter of doubt, which blocks the OP from the food, and thus, from feeling fulfilled. The girlfriend does not tell the OP and carries on her life innocently until next time, when the hand of destiny (and her eating disorder) intervenes, so that she may play a symbolic role in the OP's life once again. The camera is the OP's weapon, which he is using to prevent the hand of destiny from placing doubt in his path. It is uncertain how effective the weapon will be, for one cannot know-- is the camera going to catch the moment or will the moment simply wait until the camera has run out of power? The camera is finite, however, time is not.
Okay, now it's absurd.
