Don't you think my doctor was too harsh with me about my weight?

Today I went to my doctor. I have a very strict doctor and she got on me about my weight. She saw my weight. She gave me a serious look. Now big girls are in nowadays. I am average. My doctor gave me a brutal talk. She said, "Why haven't you been doing your workouts? I can tell you haven't been workout out."
I said, "I have been working out but-"
Then she cut me off and said, "No you haven't! On our last visit which was 6 months ago, we talked about you working out, eating right and laying off the junk food which you failed to do. You're fat. You need to lose weight."
I was shocked she said that to me, "I say I'm average. My aunt says I am very lazy and only stuffing myself with junk. I've been busy and working and-"
Then she shot back at me, "That's because everyone is is fat! Cut the excuses! You are on the borderline of diabetes damn it! You're weight gain is out of control. You're being lazy and inconsiderate of yourself and you dont care. You don't care about your own body at all. Your aunt is right."
That hurt me. My aunt said the same thing about how careless I am about my body. I stormed out of the office in years! I'm not fat! I've been busy.
I am 5'9 and 280lbs. I was 250lbs last time. I did lose weight but I stopped. Diabetes runs on my dad's side big time.

At 5'9 and weighing 280 lbs, you need to figure out your situation

@PoppyLoveLala What you need to do is create a caloric deficit in your diet, start with like 500 calories. Add cardio to your day and stick to it. Find someone to run/jog with. Being 280 lbs is just not advisable nor is it normal...
@deadgerbil My doctor cut me off and said, "Don't argue with me! Take the criticism and just do what I say. Your aunt is right. You don't care about your body. If you wanna live a miserable life being fat and getting diabetes, find someone that will deal aith your crap. Look at yourself in the mirror and you should see how pathetic your acting right now."

@PoppyLoveLala Would you rather hear it from her now and change your lifestyle or wish you had when you are suffering from diabetes or worse... dying of a heart attack?
@deadgerbil Now but she said I'm pathetic! Can you believe her?

@PoppyLoveLala You keep taking offense at what she said...

turn that into something positive and prove her wrong by working hard and dropping the weight.
@deadgerbil How can I? She made me cry today?

@PoppyLoveLala are you just going to stew in what she said and feel sorry for yourself or are you going to actually do something for your health?
