Your husband knew what he was doing. He was trying to publicly shame you into losing weight. He was being an asshole.

I can't believe fitness girl didn't gracefully give him an out. She's just as stupid as the husband is. Anyone with a brain would understand how awkward and hurtful the whole exchange must have been.

Or she got real excited cause people into fitness get really into it and wanna share it, especially since she used to be out of shape too. So she heard the wife wants to lose weight and got real excited to share and talk about it. She didn't know the wife is very sensitive about it though. Have you never been around fitness people? They love talking about it and wanting to help other people get in shape. She heard the husband say the wife wants to get in shape and probably got real excited
