What can be done about a less than supportive family member?

I have a family member (husband's sister) who has been less than supportive of my WLS. She told me that what I was doing wasn't healthy. This is the same person who once told me that I "didn't fit in any family picture" because of my obesity. She is coming into town for Easter and I am adjusting to post op life well---re-learning how to eat. My problem is that I know she will make comments about how much I do or don't eat now. She always has. And for some reason I just can't seem to fluff it off---she gets under my skin about it for some reason. I am really getting nervous about having to eat Easter Dinner with her. And when I get nervous or upset, I can't eat. I guess my little tiny tummy gets all tied up in knots which makes it worse. I don't know how to calm myself down and how to react when she starts in on me. HELP!!!
