There were times when I pointed it out to her, and sometimes in a not-nice way if she were eating things she knew she shouldn’t. Guess what, we are still quite happy together and will have been together 15 years in exactly one month.
Part of a successful long term relationship is having a thick skin at times. Your SO just may say something hurtful, stupid, shallow, mean, etc, and rather than flying off half-cocked and extrapolating it to worst case scenarios try to gain a sense of perspective and decide if its worth ending a relationship over something petty.

My point is that if the OP's b/friend is throwing hurtful remarks about her body at her during an argument that's totally unrelated to issues of eating,exercise,weight that it's a warning sign she shouldn't ignore.
Congrats on your marriage and I do hope that should you grow a pot belly, lose your hair,teeth or ability to get an erection that your wife can remember how your comments about her post partum body made her feel and refrain from repaying you in the same coin.
