I'm adopted but my birth family is not overweight. My bad habits were instilled since birth by my adoptive mother.

You are the master of your own habits! No rationalizations.

No doubt genes play a part. My doubt is that only birth parents have any influence on obesity.

Same environment doesn't give the same result for all genes. The opposite is also true. It is the combination.

The master lurks in the nonshared environmental partition.
