Cheryl,
I had a similiar situation happen to me at around eight weeks, too. However, it was my best frind who was making the mean and ugly comments. One word for you...... jealousy! In time, there will not be anything left for her to say because you will lose the weight you need to lose...... all the while leaving her in the dust. Then she will be left with nothing, but her nasty and ugly little world. Take care!
