    Wow. Maybe I should make up a magical story and see who believes that.

    My doctor noticed I lost weight, and I explained it as "eat less, move more, count calories, stopped snacking on chips and cookies." She nodded her head and kept going, totally uninterested. I thought she'd be proud lol. But I guess she was just looking for something bonkers like, "I exist on celery and fairy dust, and eat a cube of cheese when I feel like I might faint" so that she'd know if she had to refer me for psychiatric evaluation.

    This strikes me as projection.

    Seems more likely to me the doctor wanted to make a brief comment about your weight loss but was not interested in the details of how you did it

    and why would he/she be?

    They are not asking you for weight loss advice, just making a passing comment on it.
