MIL problem...regarding my weight

Okay, now to preface all of this you have to know my MIL. She is a kind person, but very selfish. Likes to TALK... a lot! And to get into the middle of everyone's business. But she does it in a sweet way, so it's hard to take offense. I mostly just find it annoying...

So, anyway, at my son's bday party last weekend she was just going on and on about my weight loss. (FYI, 240 down to 168) So, then she tells about their recent trip out of town with some friends. So she says she took along our Christmas picture from last year and when they were at dinner passed it around and told everyone to look at me (6 others and FIL). Then, she says she pulled out our Christmas pic from this year and passes it around and says something about look at her here. Okay, I know she is proud of me, I understand that. But, isn't it my choice to share my before and after pics? Can't she just say, "Here is my son and his family. Aren't they beautiful?" Or, each time she sees me say something about how nice I look or how healthy I am. Not, "Wow, honey, how much've you lost now!" I just feel like a freak show. Let people know me now, I don't need her to constanlty remind me and everyone else how gigantic I used to be...

On the same note, the woman takes a family picture at every gathering now. Ummm......it's been 13 years and this just started. I feel like she didn't want pics of me before and is now just getting her most recent "after" pic.

So, my question is...Do I say something, have hubby say something. Make it a planned talk or wait til the next time and call her on it? Honestly it really hurts my feelings, I was very upset the night after I found out and it has just kept bothering me...

Thanks for listening and any advice you may have!
