No. Being a Glutton is being sinful according to Christian theology. Gluttony is the act of taking more than you need. Most people relate this to food, but it also applies to other material things such as clothing. The reason for this is because Christianity is a religion, like the other Abrahamic religions Judaism and Islam, that demands charity. If you have more than you need of anything, someone else who does need it, doesn't have it.

No. In the old testament, there is no commandment out of 613 the restricts weight.
In the New Testament using 1 Cor 10:23-24, being overweight is not something that would go against this standard.
Being overweight is not discussed in the bible; there is nothing that God has reveal regarding overweigh, pro or con.

Its possible that you may be infected (for lack of a better word) by the spirit of gluttony or sloth. Being overweight is not healthy and Yahshua died for us, "by His stripes we were healed" Its really more of a matter of you not recieving or accepting this "healing" it is a blessing that we are above sickness or ill health so live in your blessing. I hope none of this sounds judgemental.

Gluttony is a sin. It is also an indication that you are looking somewhere other than God for your fulfillment.
