    Quick tip: At her height, her weight should be between 110 and 128. She doesn't have that much to shed. She's almost there and she can do it. Just have to believe in herself.
    I hope that helped. :)

    That was awesome, thank you! :)

    Tell her "In one ear and out the other." Let it run off like water on a ducks back. It's still her aunt.

    She should say "Well, Bless your heart, thanks for your concern, I will take your advice into consideration".

    Exactly this.

    I think your daughter is old enough to be able to decide if she values not being insulted more or if she values traveling more. To each their own, and it has to be what she would rather experience. As long as she puts in thought and then prepares herself for whatever she decides, all is good. If she goes, she goes with tough skin. If she stays, she prepares to be a bit bored or makes other plans. To me, for a random aunt of a friend? I wouldn't really care what she thinks nor would I waste any time trying to "fix" the relationship. It's like, "what relationship"?

    I'd say go somewhere else! You don't need negative people in your life. Your daughter is, according to MFP, just 7 lbs into the "overweight" category. If it's really a big deal - maybe try dropping those 7 lbs. in the next 6 weeks - then if the aunt says anything, her response can be a confident "I fall into the normal body weight range - I would appreciate your accepting that instead of commenting."

    Yeah, I agree. She can choose what she prefers. Either choice is fine. She doesn't need to go if it's not going to be fun. But, if she is going to have fun then she should go, and just brush off the aunt.

    Why doesn't her girlfriend step in and tell the Aunt to knock it off. I would never allow my family to speak unkind to my friends or significant other. If it continued, we would leave, end of story.

    So much this. If someone in my husbands family were insulting me, I'd expect him to step in and say something (because it's his family). But then again, I'd probably just tell the Aunt that commenting on a persons weight is small minded and that I'd like her to shut up about it already. The reason people behave like that is because they are rarely stood up to (IMO).

    I definitely like Swanny's response. That would shut the aunt up pretty quickly.

    Any criticism the aunt gives reflects on the sort of miserable person SHE is, it has nothing to do with your daughter. If she is going to be that uncomfortable, she shouldn't go. Her girlfriend should understand that. If she chooses to go anyway, she already knows what to expect so she can just smile and nod and ignore it.

    I hope it is a wonderful Thanksgiving, regardless!

    i'd tell the gf to tell her aunt to keep her mouth shut, if not then she'll get both barrels back and then some. laughs probably why my family hardly talk to me, won't take no ****out of them grinz.

    I just have zero tolerance for people like that.
