I have never been overweight, although my diet is not totally healthy and I do not do serious exercise.
Undoubtedly genetics plays some role. My family is a family of working Irish/Italian women who usually retain their figure until they have kids, at which case they experience some weight problems but no where near obesity.
The way my parents fed me probably played a role. The only junk food that I got on a regular basis was the snack pack and snack chips that I packed with my lunch. Everything else was once a week or bi weekly, my parents were big on portion control.
Nowadays, unless I am pmsing, stoned or starving, a regular sized bag of chips can last me for about two weeks, even if I eat from it regularly. There are times at which I can clear a cake in a matter of days but that's the limit for me.
