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.

Yeah, it’s a tough thing to hear, but weight is a problem

@Ferise1 yes, I know. I’m the one carrying it.

@Mbingh01 can you do anything about it? I know weight loss is hard to do.

Mbingh01 · 61-69, F

@Ferise1 I’m trying. It’s hard to be physical bc I have arthritis in my knees and it’s very painful.

@Mbingh01 maybe mostly upper body weightlifting

@Ferise1 my knees don’t hurt all the time, but I have arthritis flare ups. I’ll start walking when this bout is over.
