Most overweight issues are discipline related not medical problems...
This is so untrue it's almost laughable. Today's diet is radically different than the early 1900's where foods were not chemically processed or genetically modified. These types of foods play a very heavy chemical interaction with metabolism, digestion, immune response and brain chemistry.
There is nothing in the Bible that says fatness is wicked.
I gained 40 lbs and my back hurt's. It is wicked.
You're the one choosing to judge yourself this way. Take the wicked judgment out of the equation and just work on yourself instead of condemnation. Everyday we can work on ourselves and be more Christlike if we want to. Christ considered our bodies temples for the holy spirit so I think anything we do or say negatively, in hatred or judgment against our bodies is essentially against Christ.

growing up between 1900 and 1980 that was usually true.
not any more.
now the food supply, water supply, and air is so corrupted, on purpose, for profit directly or indirectly,
that along with the proven published and known side-effects of very common medicines
are the main problem today.
discipline, or lack of discipline, is still a very wide-spread problem,
but
it is no longer the biggest cause of over-weight in the usa.
Some people are just genetically overweight. They may have a harder time losing weight or a weaker metabolism. God created us all unique!
Jesus

Today's society is also radically different than the early 1900s. There are many societal issues that contribute to disordered eating and obesity.
Yes it seems "not my fault" is apopular path.
I've weighed as much as 270 lbs, currently at 215 for my 6'2" height I'm still considered "overweight" according to BMI charts...and I have no excuse other than lack of discipline and a lazy approach to diet and exercise...but maybe I can blame genetics and culture and society for my problem

How's that high horse of yours ride? Pretty good?
A great deal of the obesity in the world is caused by lifestyle, I agree. But the way you're posting is a slap in the face to those who have no way of helping it.
I'm disabled to the point that a walk through the grocery store puts me down for a day. I eat like a bird, but I'm still forty pounds overweight because I'm physically unable to exercise properly.
There are a great many others in the same predicament. Others still have glandular or hormonal issues such that they could eat a starvation diet and not lose an ounce.
You managed to lose a bunch of weight through diet and exercise, so now you sit in judgment of the lesser people. If you lived a day in my shoes, I guarantee you'd have a whole new perspective on the whole thing.
ALso there is a movement to say not eating "healthy" is a sin, they say because the body is a temple, this is false. The Body is a temple, but eating Healthy is of this world. Look at the world and look how occupied they are with what to eat and drink. You think Paul worried for one second about what he ate, No. John the baptist ate honey and locus, now that does not seem like a proper diet, but it was because it was what God gave John to eat. You will find people love to mix the worldly with scripture, these people are stuck in the world. God tells us to stand apart from the world and not get caught up in all the silly and unimportant stuff it worries about.
I agree.
Colossians 2:20-22 ESV
If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations-- "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch" (referring to things that all perish as they are used)--according to human precepts and teachings?
