Yeah, that really brings no comfort to an atheist who believes she is her body. Being worm food is not a terribly comforting thought, heh.
I know intellectually that "I" is a convenient concept that breaks down when thoroughly examined. But I still worry over it obsessively. I want the aging process to stop, honestly. I want the decay to stop, I want to live forever as I am now. Relatively healthy, relatively attractive, relatively strong and able to move about and experience the world in radical ways. Worm food isn't quite as adept at that stuff.
