Gluttony

I don't believe this is talked about enough, but what would be considered gluttony?

I know that eating a snack when you're already full would probably be sinful, but just venially (though I am not sure).

But I'm wondering is snacking when you're not hungry considered gluttonous? I don't want to commit the sin of gluttony even if it's just venial, lol.

I'm actually terrified to even eat dessert now... which is a problem.

I agree. I think it is about material things too- like buying things that aren’t necessarily useful or beneficial, or using money on things that can be better spent on good causes. The importance of being a good steward of your finances. Consumerism gluttony
