How about a little empathy for them? No need to lose weight, but also no need to bother them with it then. Which is essentially what you're doing, a net win for everyone :)

Exactly the kind of thoughtless answer that presumes I'm just angry about being told the hard truth or something I needed.
Being obese does NOT IN FACT lower your risk of every disease (except apparently heart failure?) that is not caused by obesity. Obese people need doctors for non-obesity related issues too.
Responding to this from an entirely egocentric place is just going to make the problem worse. Why not approach such things with compassion; at least you may get somewhere with this person. It is hard to make diverse friends if you cannot do so.
Failing to treat me is a professional failing with severe adverse effects for me. And it's entirely based on the judgemental assholeness of such doctors. If you can't stop blaming people for their conditions, find another job. I'm not my GPs therapist.
Also, they've been dead for close to a decade.
