Own your Feelings
First off, sorry your DH (dumb not dear) has to make himself feel superior to you by saying rude things. He is probably feeling insecure about your weightloss and knows (obviuosly) how to get to you.
NOW, he did not "make you cry." You responded to his comment, with hurt and tears, but only you can make you feel or do anything. Don't give him that power! Instead of saying to him, "you made my upset!" Say, "I am crying because your I feel your comments were insensitive and hurtful, deal with it!" There is a subtle yet significant difference (see what happens when you grow up with a psychologist Dad???)
If my DH (still dumb, not dear) makes a comment about any fat on my body (he rarely does, He know better) I just say, "Yeah, OK Gut-Boy. Why don't you say that again when you can see your 'goods' without looking in a mirror???" That usually works!
