Overindulgence, commonly known as gluttony, extends beyond overeating; it encompasses excessive consumption in various aspects of life.

Personally, I grappled with this silent killer without even recognizing it as gluttony.

Friends and family celebrated my hearty appetite, not realizing the toll it was taking on me.

At the time, I found immense pride in my ability to eat copious amounts, deeming it as enjoyable.

However, the realization hit me when I lost control over my eating habits.

The inability to stop, even when I wanted to, marked the perilous nature of gluttony.

Its consequences manifested in various stomach issues, demanding both time and significant financial resources to rectify.

The aftermath of overeating is fraught with health problems, making it crucial to exercise caution.

My journey to overcome this challenge involved a combination of prayer, discipline, and accountability.

Prayer became a cornerstone, seeking divine grace and mercy to navigate through this issue.

Discipline came into play as I measured and controlled my food intake, regardless of my emotional state.

Additionally, I embraced accountability, confiding in an authority figure who provided guidance. Friends also played a pivotal role in offering support and advice, which I humbly accepted.

It's important to note that gluttony extends beyond the realm of food.

It manifests in any form of excessive indulgence, reminiscent of government officials who exploit resources meant for the public.

Excessively overdoing anything in your life can be considered a form of gluttony.

What aspects of your life exhibit this tendency?
