1. I've been on them for 23 years

I had little weight gain on them for the first 10 years because I've always been careful about my diet. The worst parts of getting used to them were the emotional roller coaster (which does go away) and the GI upset (which doesn't, thank goodness for Prilosec).

We hear little about other causes of obesity because we're a society run by pearl clutching moralists who would prefer to blame people than try to find out what the problem really is.
