It reminds me of St. Thomas' prayer: Grant me the grace, O merciful God, to desire ardently all that is pleasing to Thee, to examine it prudently, to acknowledge it truthfully, and to accomplish it perfectly, for the praise and glory of Thy name. Amen. and his letter to Brother John: https://www.jstor.org/stable/43702009

Thanks for this lucid explanation of why gluttony is a sin. Pleasure is supposed to come from doing God's will rather than be pursued for its own sake.
