A Nazir Tamei, before he starts his Nazirus again brings three korbanos, one of them being a Chatos. The (Nedarim 10) Gemara asks, "What did this holy Yid do wrong?" The Gemara says that a Nazir is called a Chotei because he refrains from drinking wine. "From here," says the Gemara, "we learn that HaYoshev BaTaanis, someone who undertakes fasting when not required to by Halacha, is also called a Chotei. Why?

The Chasam Sofer says that the whole point of a fast is to remove yourself from the indulgences of Olam HaZeh and to become inspired to do Tshuva. A person must commit to change during the course of the fast or else he has gained nothing.

People are classified in two ways either as Holchim, moving up and bettering themselves on a constant basis, or Yoshvim remaining in your place in life and not elevating yourself towards Shamayim. The Chasam Sofer explains that HaYoshev BaTaanis, someone who undertakes a fast but remains a Yoshev and does not contemplate his life during the fast, has not gained anything by his fast except weakening his body. For that, he is called a Chotei. However, if someone uses the Taanis which weakens his body to better his neshama, he is Holeich and surely not a Chotei.
