how do I refrain from judging?

In the past 4 months I've really changed my health and lifestyle, lost over 20 pounds and completely changed the way I view food. I am no stranger to being unhealthy, I've been overweight all my life, rarely exercised and it was nothing for me to down an entire pint of Ben and Jerrys. But since I've made this change I've really educated myself about health and nutrition and I'm so much more focused on the quality of food rather than the quantity. I'm very health concious now and am always thinking about the nutrition I put into my body. I don't know what triggered the change. I've tried dieting probably 5 times before with less success but this is the first time I feel my mindset has really changed, its not just about dieting and losing weight anymore, it's about feeling good and being healthy.

Which brings me to my problem. I'm having such a hard time seeing those close to me eat the way they do. Maybe its because its the way I used to eat, or I want them to have the same mindset as me, or I want them to be healthy, or most likely all three. I know in my head that in order to live a healthy lifestyle they have to want to make that change for themselves, I can't force it on them. But I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes from rolling or from making a face when my husband orders the "super mega fried platter" when we go out to eat or when he finishes the evening with an ungodly amount of ice cream. Or when my mother and father, who are on continual diets, slather excess butter on their bread or indulge in dessert seconds with an excuse like, "I've been good today" or "I'll be good tomorrow" or "It's my birthday."

I don't want to be a nag to my husband, he's the type that will go the opposite way of where I'm trying to push him. But how do I keep from judging the behaviors I see in other people that I used to have myself? Do I just ignore it, hope to lead by example?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
