Um, thanks?

So last night I was talking to my husband's mom and a girl who is staying with her family. So, the girl discovers that my husband and I met in high school and went to prom with each other. So, I show her the prom pictures. Big mistake. The whole time she is going on and on about how thin I was in high school and how she is going to put me on a diet. (Meanwhile, she is thin as a rail and used to be a model)I have had some problems with my weight and have decided that instead of doing something unhealthy that I would work out and eat right so I have been managing my weight pretty good and even lost some pounds (10 pounds, still working on it) but last night I felt pretty bad. I know I have gained a lot of weight over the years and I am in the process of losing it, but the way she went on made me feel like a whale. Is it even worth mentioning to her how I feel or do I just ignore it? I mean, I am happy that I didn't go back to my usual habit of eating when upset but I am still really annoyed about the way she gushed about how pretty I was and how I changed. I felt so self conscience standing there and was at a lost as to what to say. Now it still bothers me and tonight I am supposed to have dinner with her but...should I even address how upset I was or just ignore it.It isn't as if I really know this girl, I have only talked to her three times and she has gone on and on about her personal life (which makes me uncomfortable) and now she has addressed my weight and it kind of ticks me off that someone who really doesn't know me has addressed what should be a personal subject.

thats a tough one. you say she is staying with your mil, is it an exchange student kinda of deal? it may have been just an oversight on her part. If not, then maybe if she mentions it again tell her you have you health under control but thanks for the input. Congrats on not taking a step back. I know how hard it is to lose weight to feel healthy and by not falling back into old routines is a big step forward! keep up the good work

She is the daughter of my MIL's friend, she was born in the U.S (where we live)

I'd go to dinner with her and not brinmg it up....but if she says anything at all about your weight....lose it on her. How rude!

then by all means if she says something again I would say something

She sounds like a really rude person. I think I would put that one incident behind you but if she does it again, I would tell her exactly how you feel.

How old is this girl? She sounds like a preteen. If she's an adult I'd deffo tell her she might want to see a doctor about that strange odor on her. Whisper it in a real friend to friend tone.

I'm sorry she said those things. She sounds like a dumbo.
