Family Diet Restrictions Leave Me Feeling Guilty About Eating

I’m 2 days into a week long trip with my family. My brother is a vegan who also doesn’t eat anything processed or with flour or added sugar. His diet gets just a little more restrictive every time I see him. Today he ate exactly 3 bananas, two handfuls of nuts, and a protein shake. That’s all he ate all day. I’m positive. My mom is on monjaro (glp1). She is now almost underweight and is still taking it. She eats about two bites of food at every meal. I have eaten approximately 4x as much as her this trip, which I can say with a pretty high level of confidence because we’ve eaten pretty much the same thing each meal/snack, but I eat all of mine and she eats less than 1/2 of hers, and I also sometimes finish her food. Today I had to apologize for being hungry and wanting to eat dinner because they otherwise would’ve just not eaten (our last meal was at 1pm). I also am a very healthy size and weight but I feel like a massive giant walking around with two skeletons all day and experiencing hunger. I know there’s nothing really to be done, but I had to rant because NEVER in my life before now have I felt so aware of my size and so guilty about food
