family resistance to weight loss

I'm almost afraid to even talk to my family about my weight loss goals, because they all give me these quietly worried looks when I try. I've tried to tell them that I've done my research and my goals are perfectly reasonable, but they still seem to think I'm going anorexic on them or something. How do I communicate the idea that not wanting to eat junk does not make me anorexic? I know I can't tell my grandparents I want to look good in a bikini; it would scandalize them without helping my cause one bit. They'd just tell me, "girls are supposed to have a little fat on them." And yes, I do realize this, but I still think I could stand to lose a little bit off the middle. How do I deal with this? I hate trying to sort of keep it from coming up like I have been, because keeping secrets about my weight loss goals feels like a step in a bad direction. Any thoughts?
