it's perfectly possible for one twin to get fat while the other doesn't. If it doesn't happen often, it's because features like willpower are more controlled by genes than we think, not because staying thin doesn't depend on willpower.

I don't think thin people are thin because of willpower.
Willpower was listed as just one factor. It wasn't mean to be an exhaustive list of all factors.
