eat to have strength to serve Hashem or to make the person who made it happy (rather its your wife or your host your eating by) BUT DON’T EAT just to fress cause you love it. thats what a chazer is & a Chazer is not a kosher animal.
theres nothing wrong for a person to go out to the restaurant to eat. BUT to go out just cause you desire that steak is crazy & Insane. start working on yourself to hold your yetzer hara back.
I was at a expensive fancy event this week (was sefardi happens to be) & i did not touch a single thing there. i came to give Mazel tov & had already eaten before coming. it can take time. but you can work on yourself to hold your taivos back from what you want & bring yourself to greatness.
Tzaddikim eat just to have strength to serve hashem. so there is almost no difference to them between eating bread & water versus pizza & sodah.
may we all reach this high level one day.
