Hmmm...don't know.  That's a great idea though!  If there isn't, someone should design one.

There's no need to design a ribbon. I think a national obesity awareness day would be great. We'd need to pick a colour that's not already used.

turquoise or green is my vote.

 One of the former OHers used to have one in her signature that was shaped out of either fat or loose skin. It was pretty funny.

According to this site, it's yellow. Sort of the color of adipose tissue:

The color of the obesity, including childhood obesity, awareness ribbon is yellow. The month of September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month - President Barack Obama proclaimed September as National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, encouraging Americans to help our youth lead more physically active lifestyles and make healthier food choices. Childhood obesity has increased more than fourfold among those ages 6 to 11. More than 23 million children and teenagers in the United States ages 2 to 19 are obese or overweight.
