I haven't been 100 lbs overweight for 5 years, will I have trouble with BC/BS?

Although I've been overweight for all of my life, I only got to the morbidly obese stage about 3 or 4 years ago. I've read in several areas that BC/BS requires a 5 year/100 lb excess for 5 years to approve. My doctor doesn't weigh patients unless there is a reason because he feels constant pressure about weight keeps many people from going for medical help when needed. I appreciate that, but the downside is I have very little official documentation of my weight gains thru the years. Do I have cause to worry?
