If you don't know, by the age of 45, whether some characteristic is part of your inherent nature or just a piece of an ideology, you have failed in your life's mission, which is, or ought to be self-determination through self-knowledge. You are older, but not there yet and maybe won't ever reach a point of succesful self-understanding.
Somebody who says, for instance, that they are genetically predisposed to be gravely concerned about their expanding midriff, but biologically are determined to have such an enlarged mid-section no matter what, has (at least partly) failed to understand what it inside her and what originates from the outside.
Nobody is genetically predisposed to have any particular view on body image, for nothing so simple is going to be so inevitable.
To be inclined to such assumptions means the person concerned has lived a significant portion of their life with an undisciplined mind.
Undisciplined minds are not inevitable either, although they are as common as the suburban grass.
