How do I avoid gluttony? Should I stay within a strict calorie limit? Or is it too legalistic?

Man, I've been I've been thinking about this issue. It's interesting that you bring up the

question of gluttony as I was reading the scriptures recently. I was noticing that right

along and I've noticed it before. It's not like I've never read these things or thought about them.

But I was just thinking about it in a fresh way and that the in our culture were like the whole

frog in a kettle analogy where we can be living in this culture not aware that we're becoming more

ungodly along with our culture. And then we think it's normal because just so many Christians

around us are doing it. And I fear that gluttony is in this category. I really do. I really fear

I'm more and more suspect that gluttony has no ungodliness attached to it in the body of Christ.

At least locally. I'm not saying globally or something like that. But locally, at least in my

experience and in my the churches I've been at, it's just not a big deal if you're a glutton.

And in fact, nobody would even think of themselves as being a glutton. It's like everybody knows

your drunk, but does anybody know when you're being glutton? So what I'm going to suggest is this.

Maybe what we need is not, you know, we don't want to be too legalistic on these issues. I

agree with you there. But maybe what we need is to actually stop and rethink what the heart of

the issues are behind gluttony. And that God doesn't, you know, Paul says the food is for stomach

and stomachs for food, but God will destroy them both. Right? Your body belongs to the Lord.

Live for him. And that's the, that's one of the issues with gluttony is that I'm, there's

something that I don't know if you just sense it in your spirit. This is unhealthy spiritually,

not just physically. There's something about my commitment addiction to this food. I'm eating too

much too often. And it's not good. And we have a lot of ways we justify this. I'm being super

open with you guys here. Well, that's just my genetics. Like genetically, I'll be overweight no
