Just a thought...

I agree, but you will still have overweight people in this world. There are people who are overweight but not because of overeating nor because they don't eat healthy.

And there are those who are thin but aren't healthy because they overeat and/or don't eat healthy.

I eat about as much as a two yr old does, and will for the rest of my life, yet I cannot judge someone who eats 8 times as much as I do for eating in excess, although eating that much would be excess for me. See what I mean?

My daughter is a person who is extremely overweight but not because she overeats nor is it caused by unhealthy eating. I do know and understand why people look at her and think she's just a kid who eats constantly, however.

But let's be real here and admit that Pentecostals can't do much else besides eat......LOL!

This is an excuse, but if I weren't so busy with other things that make me exhausted, I would excersize. This doesn't make me a glutton, it just means that I may have to explore other options to lose the weight that makes me look like a glutton. I hope this makes sense.

I agree. I have personally lost, however, dozens of pounds without much excercise. I was also able to maintain. It is possible...

Excercise, however, is vital to your health. Also, that extra weight you carry puts you on the fast track to experience several future health difficulties. Excercising will help you to increase your energy levels - so let that excuse die.

I agree. But we should all find what works for us to get healthy. That is the point.

True. Sadly, it too often becomes our means of emotional escape and self-gratification.

How can we preach to the smoker about quitting due to health concerns and the fact that our body is the temple, yet overeat and refuse to excercise? Both vices detroy the body over time.
