How do you deal with the loneliness?

For the last three months I’ve been eating low carb (attempting keto) and have included some fasting and it’s been working well. So far I’ve lost 20lbs and I’m excited to see more come off. Despite this great news I do feel some loneliness in this journey. I’m in a multigenerational household (my husband and I taking care of his parents and our toddler son) and I am the only one attempting to eat better. I’m obese (starting weight was 243lbs and I’m a 5’5 female) and needed to lose the weight desperately. I could see health problems starting to develop, sleep apnea, NAFLD, reproductive issues, insulin resistance/prediabetes, etc. Add to that my in-laws also have horrid health issues. Looking at them was like looking into the future. It was the perfect daily motivation that I needed to break my 15 year struggle with weight. All that being said, because they have so many problems, I thought we could do things together. Listen to health podcasts, cook healthy meals, walk and workout together but no one is interested. During my fast I start eating at 10am which is well after everyone is eating their breakfast and I eat my dinner at 4pm way before everyone else eats so we aren’t eating together ever. I’m partially grateful because they eat such terrible food and I’m worried I’d be tempted to eat the same but I just wish we could do things together. They complain about their health all the time and I make it super easy for them to get active and eat well but they are the definition of leading a horse to water and them not drinking. I’m hoping maybe if I lose enough weight it will inspire them and then eventually they will join? I don’t know. I guess I’m just looking for encouragement.
