The only thing you can do is talk to them. Tell them you are trying to lose weight, You know they mean well but you just dont need the temptation. I would meet with each, one on one and just talk. Thank them for caring, but ask each to support you in a new way.

I went grocery shopping for my mom and the family and everyone was disgusted that I had gotten lite items....skim milk...and low sodium foods. That to me is very normal and a good change....but for them they are stubborn. ( I am no longer trusted to shop for them). You can enjoy their foods but remind yourself of portion control...good luck

Maybe you can say that you just are not feeling well. You want to lose some weight so that you will be healthy for your kids.
Sometimes it's so much what you say, he may have been angry at you for how you said it.
Extra weight is harder to lose when you are older and it really is important to promote health and fitness as an example for your kids.
Maybe plan some fitness activities for you and the kids to work off some of that extra food your family is forcing you to eat?
Be firm because I am sure you want to live a long life and be healthy enough to take care of your grand kids!
