I think it's a parent responsibility to follow their children's diets very closely. 1/ to help them resist temptations and make healthy choices and 2/ in case they take the diet too far. It wouldn't hurt your siblings either to eat healthy. They don't need to be on a diet as well and should be allowed treats once in a while that you aren't, but they should be happy to help you out by having chicken and green beans for example (which is a delicious meal anyway so it's not like they're eating tofu either). As for sodas, why don't you switch to diet coke and all? It tastes good as well and when you get used to it you just can't stand the sugar in the normal coke anymore (My mom made us switch when we were kids and I now absolutely hate normal coke because the taste is way too sweet! That way you could still drink sodas without ruining your diet. It doesn't seem to me that your family is going to change their habits and comfort to help you though. So you are going to have to toughen up and I'm truly sorry for you. Be brave and keep on the right path. It will be so rewarding for you when you get healthy again! They should be behind you.
