So are you saying that you can lead a purposely sinful life and still get to heaven?

I don’t think so.

Well sure you do...You ever see someone stuck in the snow or needing help of any sort and you didn't stop and offer to help??? You ever hear another Catholic gossiping and didn't tell them to pipe down??? You ever see a homeless person asking for money for a meal and you shied away from that person???

Jas 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Know any fat Christians or Christians who smoke or swear??? Maybe you??? That's sinning willfully, whether you admit it or not...That list could get very long...

Your examples continue to illustrate why you can't be "good enough" to get into Heaven.

I see prohibitions in the Bible against taking the Lord’s name in vain, and against gluttony.

However, I don’t see any prohibition being fat, unless you automatically associate being fat with gluttony (it is interesting to not that gluttony is nearly always associated with drunkenness in the Bible). Nor do I see one against smoking.
