Overcoming the Gluttony Mindset

Published: Fri, 09/08/17

You attend the family barbecue. All the food is laid out buffet style. All the best cooks in the family have brought their best dishes.

You are standing at the beginning of the buffet line with an empty plate. What do you do?

Whether at the family barbecue, the church dinner, or an all-you-can-eat buffet, a gluttony mindset can whisper to you: "Get your money’s worth!" or "Better get it while you can!"

This "getting" mindset can persuade you to overindulge.

The root word of gluttony means "gulp." The issue is not about eating to satisfy your hunger; it is about overeating to satisfy your appetite, which goes far beyond the physical need for food.

It’s the thrill of getting, acquiring, and consuming, plus the fear of loss that drives the gluttony mindset.

If gluttony is a habit in your life, then I have 3 mental shifts you can make to renew your mind in this area.
