Grandparents Bodyshame Me

I have been feeling really good about myself and body recently, i have had issues with my image for a decent time. I realised that my grandparents were coming over, and i got anxious. Me and grandparents don't have the best relationship for many reasons. They arrive and i am super hungry. They arrived at like 6 and we ate at 7, i hadn't eaten since twelve. I am not overweight by any means, just a bit heavier than diet culture makes it seen is good. We ate dinner, and my portion was bigger than my grandparents. We rest for a bit and then have dessert, and i get a largeish portion because my dad tried out a new recipie that I really liked. I am eating without a care and then my grandpa says "wow, thats a lot of food, youre going to eat all of that?" And my grandma follows up with "yeah, even more food than both of us!" For context my grandma is at an unsafe level of underweight, and my grandpa just accepts it. Now i just feel horrible and am crying while i write this
