I'm not talking about starvation but deprivation of things that are harmful to us is a good start to getting healthy.

Obesity in and of itself is not a sin. overindulgence to the point of damage to our bodies, soul, mind and spirit - not being good stewards of the bodies God has intrusted us with - not being good employees, saints, citizens, neighbors....all those things are sinful.

Obesity alone is not - there are other factors involved that cannot be singled out as overindulgence or gluttony.

The only straight answer to this question is NO - at face value, it's not a sin.

But unhealthy lifestyle choices, I personally feel are sinful - they go against everything a christian should be...

And I completely agree.
