Its so, so, hard!
I am a mother to 5 kids and they range from 12yrs-8mo. Well the thing is, I cant help to eat what they eat! It is so hard to make food for them and buy all there snackes and not be able to do the same! As I said I have 5 so Im always busy feeding, cleanding and on the go. And with the economy the way it is, it would be hard for me to grocery shop for me and the family. And it dont help non when hubby likes homemade mexican food and needs to lose weight for health reasons but dont care. So I need a solution and I dont know what to do!

Some ideas--
Planning meals and snacks you want your kids to eat and you will be happy eating too is one way to make healthy eating easier. For example, whole grain cereal in the morning with fruit and low fat milk, celery with peanut butter and raisins as mid-morning snack, sandwiches on whole grain bread and carrot sticks for lunch, Trsicuits and cheese for pm snack and corn tortillas, black beans, salsa and baked chicken for dinner. For an evening snack, try popcorn. All these foods fit for everyone. And remember you can't make everyone happy.

It is hard
.....but it will be worse later if you don't take a stand now. I wish I had when my daughter was younger and I told myself I couldn't afford to buy the food for us all to eat healthier so I didn't, then I eventually just started to eat like everyone else.
The result? Not only have I not lost weight, I've gained- but even worse I now have an overweight teenager. Take the stand now, make good choices for everyone.......stop enabling them to eat unhealty because it just ends up with you eating unhealty too.
Your husband may like mexican food and not care enough to loose weight for himself but does he want to keep you fat? That's a question I had to ask myself- I know he didn't consciously want to keep me fat but IT WAS easier for everyone involved if I wasn't trying to diet.
Don't make the mistake I did- I'm not saying you need to make everyone feel guilty but you need to make them understand this is going to have to be a life choice for the entire family if they want to keep you around.

You attach too much importance to control. This gives extra stress and interferes with your own proper nutrition program. Release this problem. I recommend you go to the primary site premium jane. There is a complete description of good herbal sedatives. This will gently calm your nervous system and help you relate to the situation more easily.
