Why do folks lie? doctors too

Just looking for some input....being about a year and 7 months post op, I have lost about 160 lbs I'm 5'3 wearing a size 6. I am currently weighing about 142-144 and still losing (slowly). Just saw my Dr. last week she tells me I should stop trying to lose at about 140, she says I dont need to lose any more but of course I feel differently I know it takes a long time for the head to catch up with the body, but I still feel big. My family and friends keep telling me Im getting to little, and I of course think they are all lying its a constant battle with them. I keep telling them that they feel that way because I am small compared to what I was..but to folks seeing me for the first time, they probably are thinking "she would be cute if she lost some weight" I am thrilled with the loss but feel Im not done yet..so to sum the story up..I have been having some stomach problems and went for a MRI last week after my scan with the Dr/Tech I see a copy of my report laying on the counter and the write up on me..appearance/condition of patient etc... Well... they wrote me up as being overweight..I just about died!!!! Needless to say..I get home and chew out my husband and friends for lying to me, well my husband couldnt believe they wrote that..Why do people have to lie about this.. Not really looking for answers here I just wanted some input and some venting time :)..so what do you all think about this? Thanks for listening..Debra
