How can I explain that I know what I'm doing?

I went home for Thanksgiving and had a hard time with my family. They support me 100% but every time I turned around, got a drink, or went to eat at least one person if not more said "Dont eat too much" "Don't make yourself sick" "Be Careful" or something to that effect. I'm a little over 2 months post-op Open RNY and know how I'm supposed to be eating. I eat 6x a day which is what my surgeon has told me to do, I eat mostly protein which is what my surgeon told me to do. How do you explain that this is for real and this time you are going to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
