David, Seems to me that gluttony is the sin of food idolatry. I doubt that is your problem. :-) You, my DH, and I are just getting older (don't tell!) and not living the active life of a farmer. I'm probably the most active of the 3 of us, and still need to augment with daily doggie walks. I draw the line at making my muscles mad at me by using the ones I don't need for ADL's. (Activities of Daily Life) :-) Izzy

I don't know. That's what I was asking Gary. He seems to have a handle on this gluttony thing. I sure don't.

No, I don't mean lusting about food. However, a sedentary life can cause more than one meal a day to add weight on. I've experienced this in that my office is connected to my bedroom, so I don't have to travel to an office everyday to work. One meal a day has more calories than are necessary for sustainment in this situation. Brain power doesn't use many calories. I have found that simply walking 2 miles a day is enough exercise that more than one meal may be eaten for sustainment, but if I don't take this walk, it seems like one meal a day is too much. Gary had an interesting comment about "daily bread." I'm thinking on that one. Now my question was, is it gluttony simply because one intakes more calories than he expends? Someone might look at someone that has a few extra pounds as being gluttonous, I suppose. I don't know. I'm asking.

One time thing, but the point was that this was leading me down the wrong road and the Lord stopped me in my tracks. Izzy wrote: > How did you know that the Lord was chastising you? > What did He do? I became sick... guess it was something like the flu. Peace be with you.
