I've known a few people who were involved in the Weigh Down Workshop, and they didn't seem too terribly concerned about the "sinful" aspect of being overweight. I managed to avoid talking about the concept in depth (*g*), but it seemed to me they were using the program more from a faith-perspective than a fear-based approach. But I could be wrong. <abbr><em>cammy’s last blog post..<a href="http://tippytoediet.com/2009/01/brick-by-brick.html" rel="nofollow">Brick by Brick</a></abbr></em> What an interesting and thought-provoking post!

I'm saddened by these stories. Very misguided. I'm Eastern Orthodox and the foundation of our spiritual practice is prayer and fasting.
