This book is about both the difficulties of keeping your resolutions for better health and the rewards of seeing them through to reach your goals.  New Year’s resolutions are only as good as the commitment you have to do something differently than in the past. You have to be willing to pay the small price of a few changed habits now in the hope that you don’t pay a much larger one down the road in the form of disease, disability or death.

So here's my question to you: What price are you willing to pay for good health and a better quality of life?

Most people say “I will do whatever it takes to be healthy,” yet months later, off the wagon they go. What’s it going to take for you to stick with it? More importantly, when are you going to address the question,  "Why am I waiting?"

In this book, you will learn:

• Why you set New Year's resolutions
  
• Why you break New Year's resolutions
  
• How to set New Year's resolutions the right way
  
• How to achieve your New Year's resolutions and stick with them
  

I know it and you know it — deep down, the heart needs to change before anything else will. And I believe you know the reasons for your current health status have more to do with excuses, denial and pride than anything else. No one can make the decision to exercise and eat better for you, nor can anyone else believe in you enough to make this happen. You alone have these strengths  inside you already. In order to find them, you first have to be willing to accept the situation “as it is” and then ask for assistance. This new year can be the start of a new life, if you choose to make it so.
