My sister and her wife, "Sue," will be visiting soon. I'm looking forward to seeing my sister, but feeling anxiety about Sue's visit.
Sue has a habit of making comments about my weight and what I'm eating -- commenting on my portion size, how many helpings, my weight, how often I exercise, etc. I'm not interested in getting in a fight about it and really want to see my sister.
Any suggestions on an effective, short statement or comeback after the first comment to try to cut her off at the pass?

the pass というのは「峠」という意味で、誰でもが山越えには通る道、待ち伏せに絶好の場所、という意味です。普通逃亡囚を捕まえる場所です。
