What a miserable beech that woman is. (Sorry, I never seen anyone swearing on 3fc but I felt like a rude word lookalike there.)
It was plain vindictive to say that to you.
I think you could lose over 100lbs of ugly fat overnight, and just cut her from your life.
And you've learnt a lesson too - you won't ever give her stupid, thoughtless words that much power over you again, will you!?!
44lbs is amazing, well done!
Edited to add: OK, so souvenirdarling is definitely a nicer human being than me!
