Getting hurt feelings

My cousin that I rarely get to see ( I’m 69, she is 73) told me at a recent get together that she wanted me to loose weight. The last time I saw her about 6-7 years ago, she told me the same thing. It hurt my feelings and pissed me off. I would NEVER say that to anyone. Am I wrong to feel this way? There are things I could have said to her, but I didn’t think it was a good idea. I love her and don’t want to lose her.

Not sure exactly how she said it or what context it was in. Generally if someone wants you to lose weight it's because they're worried about your health. If you are overweight, you definitely should lose weight.

@HobNoblin easier said than done. I do try, but when you are over 60, it gets even harder.
