To answer the OP - I don't pick my friends based on appearance. I base it on inner qualities. When I was younger I was so thin I looked anorexic. My best friend was short and overweight. We used to joke that we looked like Mutt and Jeff. Almost 50 years later we are still friends. Over the years she's been there for me when I needed her. I've done the same for her. That's what friends do for each other.

I like your idea to say something to your friend the next time she comments on your weight. You said she can be tactless. Perhaps she tryly doesn't realize that her comments hurt you. If she continues after you say something, it might be time to reconsider this friendship.
