First of all, best of luck to you... stick with the diet, things will surely turn around.
It must be hard to cook for 5, I'm sure it's highly unlikely you can convince them to eat just the stuff on YOUR diet. That would make things easy, but we know it isn't going to happen!
One thing you can do is keep a surplus in your fridge of safe foods for you. Keep some rice, grilled chicken, some safe chicken soup, leftovers from yesterday, whatever's safe. That way you're not having to cook for 5 then cook for yourself as well, which would take up your whole evening!
Keep a stash of good snacks with you during the day too so you're not famished when you get home, then struck with the task of dinner for the family before you can eat for yourself.
It's a hard adjustment, but like anything, keep at it for a few days and the habit will start to sink in, and you'll feel better too.
BTW, the tomato sauce is probably what did it the other day for you. Unless I'm feeling *really good* I have to stay away from it. It's a ticket to the bathroom for sure!
Good luck!
