pigging out
Stuffing your face
Pigging out is eating large quantities of food in a greedy, unrestrained way: We pigged out on pizza and ice cream.
The phrase evokes the gluttony associated with pigs.
It's casual and self-deprecating—people describe their own behavior this way more often than criticizing others.
