Is it bad that I don't wanna talk to my aunt because she was brutally honest with me?

My aunt got on me too for not losing weight and not excersing! She can tell I wasn't losing weight and she got BLUNT with me. She was very hard on me. I looked upset and hurt. She said to not get bitchy at me and the person I'm hurting is myself with my carelessness and laziness and I don't care about my body. She didn't care if I looked her and didn't seem sorry for what she said. I couldn't fool her. I haven't spoken to her since then.
I am now 302lbs. I'm 5'10 so it doesn't matter. Tall people can carry weight better. My aunt told me to call her and why aren't I answering the phone. She came over and asked I haven't I been answering the phone. She needs to leave me alone. I love her but truth to be told, I don't really like her too much. She doesn't know it.

Oh get over it! She’s that way because she cares. Sometimes the hurtful truth is what we need to get our asses out of our heads! Sugarcoated things won’t help you grow as a person. You need to feel pain to grow.
Wait is this me talking? Wow

Sometimes being blunt is exactly what you need, and sometimes it isn't. What I've never needed personally though is someone who tries to say all the same things but in such a sugar-sweet way that I get confused and wonder what they're on about. Only you can decide whether the tough love approach is the one for you but to rule her out completely for it might be going over the top a bit. No matter how blunt she was at least you know she's not gonna lie to you and that alone is worth it's weight in gold.
It also might be the case that being older than you she's more set in her ways and would find it difficult to change. While you, being younger, might be able to adapt to change a bit easier.
I'm not saying you should embrace her on the spot but these are some of the things you might like to consider before you make your decision.
And good luck btw. I'm overweight too and wish to god I wasn't cos my spine just ain't gonna take much more.

PS. I'm not convinced you need to "like" her in order to accept the only sort of help she knows how to offer.
