Is this gluttony?

[Spiderman]

If a person has a super fast metabolism, and are very thin, so they greatly over eat, because they want to put some meat on their bones, but remain thin, is it gluttony?

In a foster home, growing up with dairy cows, they separated cream from the milk, I drank jars of straight cream, thousands of calories down my gullet in roughly 15 seconds, barely gained a pound. Is that gluttony as well?

Whatever it is, it doesn't sound particularly healthy.

It sounds like the person is craving calories... probably due to the high metabolism.

That was as a kid. I'm not sure what my problem was, but that particular one is no longer an issue.

And I would never down straight cream again. Definitely not healthy.

At the time I thought it would help me gain ten pounds.

I would think it would give you diarreah.... Ares kept trying to drink my cream until I told him it would do that. (No one wants diarreah.)

Unless your doctor has told you your weight is a problem, there's probably no reason to eat large quantities(unless you're super hungry). Some people just don't gain weight easily.

At school i was nicknamed "beanpole" tall and very skinny. I have a high metabolism is why. I think i eat normally, healthy and not over eat. However people do say i eat more than most. Gluttony, no sustaining my life, yes

In Epicureanism the desire for excess creates anxiety and an imbalance in the body so should be avoided.
It seems secular and religious idealism both agree the desire for excess is not healthy.

I think what excess looks like is different for each of us, though.

A person with high metabolism will likely need to eat often, and in large quantities. A person with a slow metabolism will probably need to eat small quantities infrequently.

It can be hard to know when something is a desire for excess, or just a desire to sustain(which is necessary for health and life).

God looks on the heart so "gluttony" is not one size fits all sin. Pun not intended.

Gluttony is an attitude, not a circumstance.

I said yes, but I wasn't sure. I'm still not sure, but it just seemed like there were too many 'No' votes. Now someone has voted 'Yes'. You're welcome.
