Someone called me fat again and I can’t get over it

I don’t know if this is the right subreddit to post this to but I am literally in tears right now.

I’ve changed my lifestyle four months ago. I’ve lost around 20 lbs. I’m 10 lbs away from healthy weight range. I’ve had bad relationship with food for as long as I can remember and now I finally don’t. I was so incredibly happy with my progress.

Yesterday, I’ve met with a family member I haven’t seen in a while and the first thing they told me is that I’m still fat.

I ignored it at first because I’m used to getting called fat but now I’m just sad and I can’t get over it. I thought I was doing okay with my weight loss. I was happy with myself. I was proud of how far I’ve come. Another family member that heard the remark approached me later and told me to not take it to heart. How can I not?

Once again, I’m sorry if this is the wrong sub but I don’t have anyone to talk to. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with these types of situations and how to not let it get to me, it would be great. Thanks in advance.
