ELMIRA, NY (WETM-TV) – When it comes to keeping a New Year’s resolution, a Scranton University research found that only 19% of people pull through.

“The word diet has such a negative connotation,” said LeRitz-Salisbury. “You get to this way of thinking – I’m going to narrow that down and it will help me. However, the first thing your brain says is, I wish I could have this, ”he continued.
LeRitz-Salisbury said the restriction doesn’t work long-term. He says you should set yourself small, realistic, and sustainable goals. “Write them down and keep them where you can see them every day,” said LeRitz-Salisbury.
