A lot of weight-related health issues are cumulative over time, though. It's not like you eat a cake and suddenly you're diabetic and your arteries are clogged up and your joints can no longer support you.

So you can remain at a heavier weight for some time before the effects begin to show. Unfortunately, by the time they do you're looking at long-term and chronic conditions that will only get worse and need more and more intervention.

So if you're 20 and 100 lbs overweight (which I was close to) then you can get away for a good few years with your blood pressure, sugar levels, cholesterol etc. in a 'healthy' range. But if you KEEP doing what you're doing, in 20 years they're not going to be.

Again I'm not trying to say that being overweight isn't unhealthy.

THIS, a thousand times. My aunt was overweight for years. It wasn't a big deal at first, but she ended up needing a knee replacement in her 50s because the extra stress on her joints wrecked her knees. Her knees are permanently fucked up because of it, but it wasn't something that was noticeable right away.
