so much so

When would someone use so much so? Is this correctly used?

I believe in fitness so much so that if I don't work out at least 4 hours a day, I feel bad.

Thanks

I believe in fitness so much that if I don't work out at least 4 hours a day, I feel bad . The horn of the rhino is highly prized in traditional Asian medicine, so much so that a single horn can fetch up to a quarter million dollars. ('so' = so highly prized) The construction and eventual decommissioning of the plants can be enormous, so much so that the EROI calculations can be surprisingly low.

I understand a little.

This is another example. Can you tell me what you think?

This was in a TV series.
She says this to her daughter.
When my husband died, I hurt for myself so much so that I forgot to hurt for you.

Is it correct english to 'hurt for someone'? Is it slang?

Thank you

'Hurt for someone' is fine and common; not slang. If you transcribed it correctly, there was a slip of the tongue:

When my husband died, I hurt for myself so much that I forgot to hurt for you.
