I'm NOT fat

Name change as about to give all details as too late to text friends for advice. Visiting DHs family today, out for lunch where I had a prawn salad. After I finished I reached over to nick a bit of my dds bread and as I did so My DHs grandmother piped up 'not watching your figure then?'. This is not the first time she has been rude about my weight and to be honest I am really pissed off. We see them very rarely and I don't think she has any right to make personal comments at all - last time she said something she suggested I would lose my looks and therefore my husband if I carried on the way I was. I don't think it's important as I don't think anyone should comment on others appearance but for context I go to the gym 3-5 times a week, walk the dog at least an hour every day and see a personal trainer weekly. I am five foot one, 9 stone 3 and size 8. I'm not normally so sensitive but I don't want to see the woman again, she is elderly and not in good health and adores my dds. Aibu to refuse to see her? I would never stop the dds but we live the other side of the country which is obviously limiting.

Yep. Proteus was really bloody rude to OP on the first page. Hence the reaction.

Old people can often become outspoken and sound rude. An elderly relative of Dh's was terrible - e.g. once saying at the top of her voice during a pub lunch, 'WHY DOES THAT WAITRESS WEAR SUCH A SHORT SKIRT WITH LEGS LIKE THAT?' Just one example. She didn't have dementia, which is when it can often get a million times worse.

Honestly, just ignore it or try to laugh it off. Not worth getting steamed up over. She might have just said it for something to say - I'm trying to be charitable here. Even if you think she was deliberately having a go, console yourself by thinking how glad you are that you're not an ancient old baggage with not too much time left.
