With the new year often comes a host of resolutions to lead a healthier lifestyle.

But how do you make those resolutions stick? The American Psychological Association suggests:

• Write your pledges down so you can hold yourself accountable.
• Start small and set realistic goals.
• Change behaviors one at a time
• Enlist a friend for support and companionship.
• Ask for support from family and friends.
• Accept that there might be lapses, but focus on long-term goals.
