There are sins that can make you fat, but being fat is not a sin.
Making the assumption that people are fat because they are lazy or gluttonous is a sin, and a serious one.

How about chocolate cake and white grapefruit juice?

Chocolate, OTOH, is positive evidence for the existence of a benevolent deity.
 
Consider this:

1 Co 6:19-20
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.

Gluttony is a sin. Simply being overweight-fat is not. Only those of you who do indulge know for sure what is being done is wrong. Taking care of our bodies is reasonably expected. Christ would want us to take care of ourselves and not be indulgent, why wouldn’t you? 😉
