Our young people are deeply affected by the way we practice what we preach. Telling the lost they need to lay aside evils that damage the body and mind, while not saying a word about the detriments of excessive weight and poor diet, is hypocritical and can become a "nail" in the coffin of discouragement.
I have crossed lines before with my passion. I get like Peter, waving my sword all over the place. Every now and then I review my ways and see an apology is in order. I find my desire ever growing to be with the Lord, as the words of Paul ring loud and clear; I do that which I hate. I'll be glad to lay down this life.
I'm trying my best to leave our youth with an example to follow. I hope I'm doing OK. Kids are full of questions, and the right answer is important.
Have a great weekend!

I think it's great to teach about taking care of our temples in every way. But not to focus on the fat or skinniness of people.
Like I've said over and over in this thread, skinny people often have VERY unhealthy eating habits.
