Pagoto: Three tips for sticking to those 2013 resolutions

Launching the new year with an ambitious agenda to eat healthier or lose weight may be a lofty goal, but Sherry Pagoto, PhD, associate professor of medicine and a licensed clinical psychologist, has some sage advice for turning resolutions into reality.

“We are now a week into the new year and probably at the point in which some people are starting to wane a little bit in their new year’s resolutions, so I wanted to talk about three ways in which you can try to stick to your new year’s resolutions throughout the year,” Dr. Pagoto said.

Goal setters should:

· Set small goals for each month;

· Turn those small goals into a fun bucket list of interesting activities that support your objective; and,

· Build a support network to join you in your pursuit.
