How does your family respond to your diet?

I finished losing last March but still maintain my food log. I've gained 5 lbs back so I'm currently restricting again.

My husband and son are both at healthy weights and have never struggled, but they are/were supportive. They're both totally used to me weighing food out and altering our meals so mine is lower calories. They've actually caught on to what a calorie is. The other night my son came over and said something like "I just ate like 1500 calories". If I tell my husband how many calories my dinner was he'll be like, "Woah, not bad! I would've thought more". It cracks me up and it's also sweet.

I've had a lot of friends/acquaintances tell me I'm "obsessed" for weighing and measuring my food, act concerned that I'm "getting too skinny" (I am not skinny and my goal isn't to be skinny), or tell me it's unhealthy to weigh myself. I can't imagine having a family that said things like that.

How does your family deal with it? If they're not nice about it how do you handle it when weight loss is already so difficult?
