I stand by what I said; someone who is overweight doesn't "not know" that they're overweight, and certainly someone who is obese (as you say obesity is a diagnosis - which is not the same as overweight) knows that their weight is "not healthy". The only reason a doctor needs to mention it, is to tell them that it's affecting their health in a specific way (e.g. diabetes, their joints, heart, high blood pressure, fatty organs) or to make sure that they're aware that it puts them at higher risk of those things.
