Hi! Do you feel like they are supportive or do you feel hassled/nagged by them? It might feel easier to focus on dieting/controlling your food than connecting with your family. Do you have anyone in your life you feel supported by?

Running away from your thoughts doesn't help. I have found it can help to treat that part of yourself as a child. Does it feel frightened? Abandoned? Angry? Care for it with love and see what it needs. And find someone supportive to talk to about it all. Your family might not have the ability to do this.
