I am sorry but this sounds suspiciously like the wife beater who said "I did it because my wife didn't have supper ready on time." How we react to situations or comments is entirely our own responsibility.

I agree, with the caveat that you can't feel confident unless you own your decisions and actions--the good and the bad.

P.S. I think I shouldl make myself clear that I am talking about our attitudes and actions in reaction to what other's say because I believe, I should say I know, that Andy is absolutely right re the science behind body types and weight gain.
