Good point. I suppose we are dealing with illnesses here in cases like compulsive eating, anorexia, bulimia etc. We need to be careful to love people with mental illnesses, and it might be a very big mistake to apply church discipline rules to people for mental illnesses. Out of the 9 pages of comments, Yours changed my perspective.How do you discipline anorexia and bulimia? i think the same approach would be needed here. emphasis on the obese person going to Overeaters Anon or Celebrate Recovery or maybe seeing a therapist?
there is a Christian course some churches in my country (the UK) use called New ID for Eating Disorders and it deals with overeating as well as anorexia and bulimia. many have found it very helpful and have gone on to get further help if needed afterwards.
