I find it challenging to maintain my weight in the state I'm currently at. My family and I eat Our main meal together and it has become a tradition one that is very benificial and enjoyable. However they love saucy, rich, high sugar carb foods. they do not like it when I obstain form these. I can't stand to eat like this I feel like my thighs and hips keep growing and growing and growing. What should I do.

If I were you I would just make my own meal then you are still able to eat with them but without the sugars and carbs. Explain to them why you are doing this and they will support you

I applaud your participation in the family meal. It is one of those 'traditions' that is very beneficial for the family. It provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen family unity and communication. You need to find some way to maintain this tradition while at the same time meet your dietary goals. Some type of compromise might be in order.
