Does God make you fat?

Losing weight isn't necessarily vain. That's my problem with certain church-going folks. They just spin whatever theyre told to believe what they want to.
One day it's "don't get tattoos or prostitute yourself because your body is God's temple"
The next day it's "God will be mad if you take too much care of your body."
Christian logic is awesome. I mean choose one. Either your body is important to God or it's not.

depending on food for enjoyment..comfort..love...anything other than substance is idolatry. Lusting after food defiles the convenant relationship with God. Someone who has a pure relationship with God does not lust after food. Obesity is spiritual enslavement to food. Just like somsone who overindulges in alcohol..cigs or shopping or power will suffer consequenses of greed. I'm talking about myself here too....lol
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

That's just not true. It does not take a genius or an independent thinker to figure out what certain foods do to the body. It takes a google search..everyone knows that a chicken breast and broccoli is better than a couple slices of pizza. Everyone. It's not information and understanding that people lack but motivation and mind and heart changes for a happy and healthy life. There are no "good" foods and "bad" foods when it comes to obesity. A person is not obese because they eat one chocolate chip cookie every night. They are eating three after a huge carb filled meal...eating over the limits of being satisfied. If people don't recognize that it's not the food's fault but their own psychological problems in their heart they'll never be free from it. Asking someone who has a serious problem turning to food to worship it more by counting every fat gram and carb.. thinking about food all day...discussing it on forums.....this does not help someone with food issues. You fall in love with what you focus on. They might conquer it temporarily but not for a lifetime.
The church is filled with people who worship food. It's their pet sin. They'll point their finger at me because I drink too much sometimes while stuffing their faces at all you can eat buffets after church every Sunday.

Actually they are obese because of eating that one chocolate chip cookie every night. It all starts somewhere, then progresses into a problem.
The problem isn't the chocolate chip cookie.
the problem is they are weak minded slaves. slaves to the media. slaves to the snack industry. slaves to religion.
its all correlational. they probably pray to god everynight to let them be skinny after eating those 3 chocolate chip cookies you mentioned
Anyone who tries to find happiness or block unhappiness with material things has enslaved themselves..
All of those things..even religion put a wedge between people and God/happiness/freedom.
