Lesson Learned

I understand why gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins! Where food is routinely plentiful, it may be considered a sign of self-control to resist the temptation to over-indulge. Today, I did not have the self control to resist pizza, chocolate cake and ice cream! Disgusting, I know!!! I was gluttonous! No reason for it, I just kept going! Can I justify this? Let me try. If you keep depriving yourself of things you crave, you will eventually fall off the wagon and give in to temptation all the time. But I did indulged in front of friends, with some but just in front of others. How's that ok? Well, if I did this in private, hiding out in my pantry and throwing the evidence away before Bruce could see it then it would be truly gluttonous but I was weak in the company of friends. They witnessed it, some even chose to comment on it over and over and over!!! (That did a lot of good for my ego). In any event, they were party to my weakness. Yeah, it's not working, is it? Oh well, tomorrow's a new day.
