I know...I was thinking that too. I think the root of this issue is that people only WANT to hear good things from a doctor but they SAY they want a doctor to tell them the truth. If you're overweight you know it. It may be embarrassing to hear that others (like your doctor) notice it too, but maybe thats the kick in the pants someone needs.
