I know this weight thing is a real sore spot with you.. and it makes it worse that she seems to be in some kind of denial about your illness that requires medication that makes it hard to control weight.

Is there any way that you can have a discussion with her and tell her that the meds make it difficult to be skinny, but if you don't take the meds because she makes you feel so bad about a little extra weight, that it prevents you from being the best you can be? Maybe if you two can make a pact that neither of you will ever talk about weight?

Her comments interfere with your med compliance - and that's a bad thing.

I wish you could get well enough to do something like volunteer at an animal shelter or something... so you could be less bored, and have something going on that makes you feel like you are doing something worthwhile.
