[quote=Anonymous]Genetics are a major factor, but not the only factor. I come from a large family. Some people are obese even when they diet and really work at losing weight. Some people are thin even when they eat whatever they want. I do think stress and mental health plays a much bigger role in weight than most people understand. I wish that was discussed more, because when I think of the family members I know who struggle the most with weight, they pretty much all also have serious mental health issues, and it feels like there should be more support to address both those things at once, because they clearly seem linked. I do agree with you that the idea that weight is just about personal choices and will power is really misguided. But it's not just genes, there are other issues at play (though not always things that individuals have control over or can just power through).[/quote]
