Deception?

[Rivo]

Okay, here me out:

 

So, if someone lost weight on accident, knew someone would be upset if they found out, so wore a heavy sweater to get weighed, is that sinful? Very random, I know

I have no idea, but I wanted to affirm that yes this is so random.

Mortal sin.

I would get myself to a confessional ASAP. Be sure to buckle your seatbelt and drive slowly on the way.

Not a sin. 
Not even close to a sin. 
Rest easy.

But start thinking how you're going to explain your accidental weight loss to this other person - s/he's gonna' notice it sooner or later. (But is your weight even any of her/his business?)

Be safer to just walk, however far it is. Stop and look carefully at all intersections. Don't go out during a lightning storm, or tornado weather. Be on the lookout for surprise semi-trucks running red lights just as you think you've made it and let down your guard. That's when they get you.

Is the person who lost weight risking their health by losing weight (e.g. that person has an eating disorder)? Is the person who would be upset in a position of authority over the person who lost weight (e.g. a parent of a child)? Or is the weight loss healthy and the other person is upset because they are living an unhealthy lifestyle and projecting their own insecurities?

Too many variables. It is impossible to offer even a general answer.

The heavy sweater tactic (or hiding weights in your bra, or using any other kind of ruse to hide weight loss) is textbook anorexic behavior. I have no idea if you’re anorexic or if any of the particulars of the situation, but I don’t think it’s normal to be manipulating people into thinking you’re heavier than you are, for whatever reason.

Based on what you are telling us, it sounds like they wanted to avoid causing distress. That said, your post raises some red flags and I hope the person in question is getting the help and care they need.

does this sweater make me look Phat?

Generally, your own conscience is more accurate at determining whether you sinned or not, instead of other people's opinions.

If you asked the question, it probably wasn't a sin. But now, after reading the replies, your conscience is more well informed--so the exact same act could very well be a sin in the future.
