Cindy - haha. fasting is bad for your body too. Guess that's a Biblical contradiction. It defiles the body! lol

fasting, done correctly, can be benefical to the body.
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...
