[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been obese probably since I was eight years old after a childhood trauma.

I'm female and I'm 26 years old. Right now I'm perfectly healthy numbers-wise, resting heartrate of 52, very active with workout classes twice a week and walk 4 miles 5-6 times a week. I can (very slowly) run/jog a 13 minute mile. Can't do a pushup though. I have a lot of mental health issues (obviously goes along with the weight) but physically day to day I feel fine and don't hate my body which is why I don't have any urgency to lose the weight. I also see myself as much less fat than I am.

I once got down to 195 on the horrific HCG diet in 2 months. Gained it all back in a year.

I need real talk on how long before being 100 pounds overweight is going to have grave health implications. Wondering if I need to look into weight loss surgery. [/quote]

I will answer your surgery question as someone who has had the surgery.  Given the length of time you have been obese, the chance is slim to nil that you will lose weight with diet and exercise alone.  Surgery will physically restrict you from overeating which will in turn give you the chance to implement lifestyle changes and become a healthier person.  It was really a really hard road but I am glad I did and it's been almost 15 years and I have not regained the weight.[/quote]
