I agree once again! Remind yourself every day of all the good things you have accomplished. My guess is that a great-grandmother isn't going to learn too many new tricks and she really has earned the right to feel like she feels. But NOBODY has the right to be hurtful or rude.

Perhaps you can simply ask her not to mention weight, size, portions, foods, etc., if they relate to you because though you respect her feelings, it really hurts you.

Remember this life IS NOT ALL ABOUT WEIGHT!! Do the work you need to do for yourself in any order you like...work on positive self esteem when you need to.
The right to do that is one of the perks of being a grown-up!
