Or was my sister being needlessly mean?

Nc as outing. Need to know if I am being too sensitive or if my sister was being a bit mean.

I have recently lost a couple of stone in weight and am now at a healthy bmi (23) for my height. Eight weeks ago I also decided to start running to help maintain my weight. When I started I could barely run 2 minutes. Today I ran 7.5k. It took me 50 minutes so clearly I am not about to win any marathons at that speed but I was really proud of myself. Told my sister (because she asked how the running was going!!!) and she said oh you might as well not bother if you're going that slowly, what's the point.

Just really felt upset by that. She has form for saying tactless things especially about my weight loss even though she is much smaller than me and always has been.

WIBU to have been hurt by what she said?

YANBU, it's mean.

For what it's worth, I don't run at all and have no concept of what's a good or bad time so I'm always just impressed when someone tells me they've run however many km or solidly for however many minutes - it's that many more km or minutes than I could manage! Well done!
