Genetics, social conditioning, thyroid issues, hormones, etc are all factors. Even though I rarely overeat regular food, I've got a sweet tooth and will binge candy and donuts. Sheetz (24 hour gas station/convenience store) has a peanut butter cup donut now, I've had like eight of them. They're fucking amazing. I looked it up and they're 470 calories! I still have to watch myself.
Also I have, at points in my life, drank way way too much alcohol. I've been significantly overweight from it. Doing good now though. We all have different struggles when it comes to weight, and it's absolutely easier for me to lose it and keep it off than it is for others. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
