Then stop trying. No R talk, no pursuing; leave her alone and focus on yourself.

She will find out about your changes when she sees you. Or when her friend mentions that she saw you at the grocery store the other day and you looked good.

Typical WAS script.

Don't worry too much about it; she is saying everything and anything she can to justify the bomb, both to you and to herself.

Which brings us back to taking the pressure off of her and focus on yourself. You'd be surprised how much that little bit of effort helps the situation.
