Why do we say it's okay to be fat?

I was reading this article and this man's story. Yes he's lost an amazing amount of weight and he's doing great, but why is his goal 250? Why if he doesn't lose another lbs is he happy with that? Why do people keep telling him he doesn't need to lose more?

I'm in the normal zone so I can understand mine more but people irritate me when they ask and I tell them I want to lose 10 more lbs and they tell me no no no you look great you don't need to lose anymore, but I'm down to a size 8 so I can understand it a bit more.

This guy is a size 44, it says he's 6 ft 2 which makes his current BMI 35.7 even at his goal weight of 250 his BMI is 32.1. Why is his goal to still be OBESE??? Not overweight OBESE! Maybe I'm wrong but to mean his goal should be more like 200 with a BMI of 25.7 which is still just slightly overweight but much better than still OBESE. Why are we telling the extremly obese it's okay to be obese as long as they've lost some of the weight???
