For whatever sick reason, people feel the need to look down on others in order to feel good about themselves. Just continue to love your mom and be there for her. All people are not shallow and judgmental, thank God. By the way, it does not say that being overweight is a sin in the Bible. Look at all the overweight preachers. LOL!

The view is that people who are overweight lack self-control. They just want to eat and eat. Also some people even may tie over-eating with poor self-esteem. Which can lead some to feel that overweight people have problems, lesser than they are.
I agree with you though. There should be love for everyone and no hate, but that will not happen.

Okay lets start with high blood pressure,diabetes,asthma,high cholestrol and a number of other things that can kill you. I look at myself in the mirror everyday and even though I am not fat I aint skinny either but my doctor told me to drop down 85 pounds and i can breathe better. I wear a size 13/14 and I think I look Damn Good!!! And that aint just me talking I get this compliment all the time.

Well being overweight is bad....only for your health....And being overweight is not really a sin...gluttony is a sin (excess in eating or drinking,greedy or excessive indulgence) in other words eating when your not hungry. Some people just have a natural tendency to be overweight....its in there genes. I don't think its ok to make fun of people cuz of their weight...but I do think that people who are overweight should try to get on a diet.....for their own health.

Well baby, I do agree that being over weight is unhealthy for the body,. But if you or someone you know is over weight I say we our still God children and if God can love us like we are then why can't people. Stay who you are, but try to work on being a healthy you. A long life is always better than a short one. Bye Baby
Enjoy your holiday

I couldn't care less what the bible says, but as a health worker (EMT), I see obesity as a major health issue. Try to get a 400 lb person out of a wrecked car to save their lives and not get hurt in the process. Heart attacks, stroke and diabetes are weight related (in some). Thin is not always healthy, but fat surely isn't. If we all ate in moderation and quit sitting on our butts, obesity wouldn't be an issue.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, the list goes on... Carrying extra weight is hard work on your organs.
There are degrees of being overweight. 20 pounds or so is ok as long as your healthy but also if you are just a little bit overweight you run the risk of gaining more pounds. Hope that helped!

It's mainly for health reasons do I think being overweigt is bad . But honestly I wouldn't feel attractive if I were over wweight . Just like people who are over weight ,my self esteem would plummet ,I would be depressed , I wouldn't be able to do too much,because of all the weight.Sure it's unhealthy ,but think of the psycological damage ,thinking of that is enough to make me think twice abuot having seconds at the diner table

I think that making fun of people b/c of their weight is just like being predigest. Some people cant help being over weight, thats just how they're made. All people should love eachother for who they are-not what they look like!!

Gluttony is a sin, therefore fat people should be banned from eating. Just like homosexuals are banned in some places from getting married because homosexuality is a sin.
