It sure is genetic, but I do agree with Haley about lifestyle practices leading to obesity in some cases.
The only thing is that I could eat you all under the table as a kid and was always underweight. I was 89 pounds when I became pregnant at 26. I ate whatever I wanted too, and plenty of it! I gained 10 pounds before I went for my first obgyn appointment. He never knew, so I got away with it!
Both parents were slender, and my Mom was short and petite like I am. My weight is definitely genetic.
