    Greatly, greatly, influenced by genetics. I’ve known people, hell I’ve dated people, who ate better and worked out more than I did, but were still fat af. Meanwhile I just do a little jog and basically can eat whatever I want.

    I’m not going to go and pretend I’m not fat because I’ve made smart choices.

      Nah. It’s more about inherenting eating habits than genes. Also it’s much easier to gain weight if you’ve been obese during your youth. Eating is also an unhealthy coping mechanism for a lot of people. Genes is probably on fifth place if not lower.

        I’m a fatass now, but up until my 30s I was skinny, underweight even. I eat less (and better) now than I did then, so obviously there’s more to it.
