"Sin is a great shame. If we commit it not only should we feel ashamed but 
we should cover ourselves exactly the same way those who are wounded do. 
Even then we should not forsake ourselves but rush to confession and 
thanksgiving. We have such a Lord who asks nothing of us but to confess our 
sins, after the commitment of a sin which was due to our indifference, and 
to stop at that point and not to fall into the same one again. If we eat 
with moderation we should never be ashamed, because the Creator gave us 
such a body which cannot be supported in any other way except by receiving 
food. Let us only stop excessive food because that attributes a great deal 
to the health and well-being of the body." 

St. John Chrysostom, On Fasting.
