I am 20kgs overweight and my GP is also overweight but he dosnt push me to loose weight, only when i mentioned my weight he asked me if i wanted to loose some and when i said yes he gave me afew starting options such as diet and exercise. He also understands that the amount of weight i put on was mainly due to the medication i was on as i was normal weight 2 years ago before the medication. My previous doctor tho would never accept this and went to the point of blaming me for "letting myself go" in regards to my weight. Some doctors (like some people) will always be arrogent, ive found u just have to ignore them and stick with one that you get along well with.
