According to the Association for the Study of Obesity (http://www.aso.org.uk/index.htm):
| quote: |
Genes can only exert their effect by increasing energy intake or decreasing energy expenditure, for example through a genetically determined preference for high fat foods or a sedentary lifestyle. The rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity over the last 50 years (a very short period of evolution), suggests that obesity is more strongly determined by environmental influences since the genepool has remained essentially constant.

However (boldface is mine):
| quote: |
Very few individuals have a medical condition which increases the likelihood of becoming obese. Hypothyroidism (reduced secretion of thyroid hormones) leads to a reduction in resting metabolic rate and Cushing's syndrome (over secretion of adrenal corticosteroid hormones) promotes fat deposition. Abnormalities of other hormones can affect body weight or more particularly, fat distribution. Patients with these medical disorders are usually identified quickly by symptoms other than their obesity and a diagnosis confirmed by blood tests. Appropriate treatment usually corrects the problem. |
Either you have one such condition and are not undergoing appropriate treatment, or your weight is a result of your lifestyle choices. Take your pick.
