I have let my diet slip into junk food, alcohol, and constant grazing.

It is like going to the gym everyday but not managing your diet.  

Make believe you just happen to have something you think he will like e.g. some really nice chocolates or a good wine and tell him you need someone to give it to because you are on a diet.

I was glad to see the Mc Mansion fad pass by.

Sorry, only you know whether your preference is chicken or fish, and which one is more suitable to your diet...

The recent fad appears to be multi family investing.

Do they need a diet or am I out of line?

I'd bet that some of them have a diet that consists of cereal, fast food, and heroin.Could you tell them that the stove is not for heating and if you catch it being used as a furnace, you will remove it?

I'm not suggesting you put the family on the PB&J diet or anything extreme.

I highly recommend trying the apps for you phone to relieve stress.One of my friend's wife is hooked on Celexa, Ambien, Xanax, diet coke, and vodka.
