Gluttony

For the past two weeks or so, I have surrender myself to gluttony, specifically eating too much and eating too frequently, at odd hours. Maybe it is due to stress and my uninspiring office work, I am unsure. The urge to have a full stomach and more is simply irresistible. The feel and satisfaction from my endeavor is simply too good. The food doesn't have to be very tasty or expensive, just a simple meal would do, but of course, it has to be in 'sufficient' portion. The warmth of my stomach as I wolf down my meal is truly fulfilling.

I know that this is wrong, be it on my health or other aspect, but I can't help it. I need to have more self control.

From wikipedia:
Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered one of the seven deadly sins—a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy.[1]
