I remember gaining a lot of weight when I first got saved, in part because all the things I did before to not gain (going to parties/clubs with my friends and dancing for hours) was taken away. All of the "things" people did for fun in the church I was attending centered around food. They all had families and didnt want to do anything outside of that. So I was left trying to do things alone, which ended up being nothing. And the chubbiness began...
Now, 8 years later, I am getting a handle on it because I dont want to die due to something I could have prevented. But I do think there should be more "fun" and "active" activities offered as fellowship opportunities through church. Especially if you attend a church that pulls you away from you "unsaved" friends.
My 2 cents of my experience.
