So is it that you are feeling happy with yourself right now, but you are afraid of being the odd one out?
I bet your family is really proud of your achievement and they only want the best for you. So don't sabotage youself (eg eat bad foods around them because you feel like the odd one out if you don't) They should support any weight goals you may have. You have kept the weight off for 6 months now so I don't think you should be worried about gaining it back, just take care of your body. And I think you should forget what weight you used to be and enjoy where you're at now - do some activities you've always wanted to do, or buy some new clothes.
I hope that kind of related to your question, goodluck. :)
