Anyone else with young children?

I've got 4 boys. Age 14, twins age 6 and a baby 6 mths. Older 3 are fine. Before I give them their dinner I drink a shake so I'm not tempered.
With regard to feeding baby Aaron I do touch his food off my top lip. I've lost 2 stone in 6 weeks so I assume that is okay. As regard juice I measure it, supposed to be 1 part juice to 4 parts water but I add a little extra water, juice lasts longer, I save money and it's healthier for them lol.
For the baby I don't buy special baby juice such a waste of money. I barely colour the water with a few drops of unsweetened regular juice and he is happy with it so I don't need to taste it.

I have a five yr old lil gal. She is finding it very hard to understand why i am not eating at dinner time. ( when i have my breakfast and lunch she will be in school)
I also live with my mum and neice who are watching out for me, to make sure i succeed on the diet. Now my daughter thinks they are not being nice to me coz they are not giving me food. She has been trying to sneak her food to me. Ah bless her. I really dont know how else i can make her understand that i am doing this to get healthier and fitter. I have tried but ti no avail. She told me she is ok with mummy being big becoz she wants mummy to look like a giant.lol
However this has motivated me more as i am telling my self that once i reach my goal, i will make sure i eat healthly and exercise so i will not have to miss the special moments ,when i have dinner with my family.
I am determined that the whole family will eat healthy meals only

I've got a 3 yr old and a 7 yr old. My little man doesn't really seem to notice that I'm not eating as still sit down for dinner with them at the table in the evening and he is obsessed with blending my shakes for me and comes running in whenever he hears the blender. My daughter is slightly older so I have explained that mummy is not very well because she is too big ( I have asthma) and this is medicine to make her better as didn't want he to worry about Diets and being overweight, as tryin not to pass on my food issues to her.

I have a 4 month old son, well 5 month next week. Just test his milk on my wrist as always and if I have checked it by mouth iv spat it back out! Its the dad thats the problem! I stopped cooking for him (told him he would have to do it himself) and he lost loads of weight cos he's that lazy he would rather get snacks than cook!! So ended up cooking for him again but to be truthful although its hard it makes it easier when u do come into contact with food cos your used to being around it and resisting 
well for me it does anyway
@Jacqui good one re your daughter, my mum has always been on a diet as long as iv known her and never been slim (although she was before she had me, her 4th) and my sister is obese too, although iv only become obese in the past couple of years, previously I have been bulimic and had issues re staying thin since my teens, I presume part of that could be down to my mum's dieting
