Are you staying alone? If yes, then its allowed.
Those that are staying alone, will either over eat or over work

Brother,
This is a difficult subject to address....because on certain continents (where large segments of the population barely have enough food to eat on a regular basis), having an abundance of food is a sign of wealth in a sense.
However, we have to view "over-eating" or gluttony as considered a problem .
It has to do with "self-control" or temperance...which the Lord tells us we must exercise.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
King James Version (KJV)

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

It all boils down to being good stewards of the body given to us (by not abusing it)...because we are appreciative of the sacrifice made in order to redeem us.
We are all works in progress....

Well God wants us to practice "temperance" in ALL areas of one's life....which includes the process of eating.
He finds it extremely important.

Excess weight clearly indicates a deficiency somewhere....be it sickness, gluttony, emotional, pyschological or hereditary issues etc.

From a practical viewpoint, excess weight is unhealthy. So a balanced, healthy weight is the goal. There is a standard that Christians need to reach.
I know that other factors exist as to why some people may struggle with weight.
Trust me, we all have a struggle with "temperance" in some area of our lives.

Religion is hocus pocus. Eat to quench your hunger and meet your nutritional needs. You should avoid too much junks and over eating because of your health. I am sure you want to live long.

Well as I said, obesity could be a result of certain factors...however if it's due to gluttony, then there's a problem. We are to practice "temperance" in all things. It's a Fruit of the Spirit.

Ezekiel 16:49
(KJV)
49 Behold, this was the iniquity (sin) of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.


Proverbs 23:2
(KJV)
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.


Proverbs 23:20-21
(KJV)
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

I think the more appropriate question should be:

'Is the lack of self control a sin?'

Anything "over" is a sin. All things should be done moderately.

Though the bible encourages over-praying and fanaticism*

*Don't quote me on that!

Over feeding is not good for so many reason.
1. Many people have little or nothing to feed while u over feed urself
2. It makes u think less for either a short time or long time
3. It can lead to u being obese
4. Over feeling makes u lazy
5. It's make u consume more and irrelevant things into ur body as u might end up eating excess junks ur body don't need which can lead to the deposit of fats in ur body
6. It can kill u.... .. .... ... just to say a few grin grin grin grin grin

Proverbs 13:25 "The righteous person eats his fill/satisfaction, but the belly of the wicked is empty."

I'm not so sure if this passage applies in this context coz the bible can be very confusing some times.

So personally, I don't think there is anything wrong in overfeeding.........but if after uv overfed urself, u then allow the leftovers to go to waste, then there is a problem.
