Keeping a resolution to change some habits can be very challenging. Usually the change involves some sort of diet.  Patricia Grady with Agewise MD suggests that realizing a small tweak in your goal can make all the difference: “Often many times people will dare me, to tell them that they can't have something,  because they want a reason to be able to quit later. They will say "well she wouldn't let me have 'X' so I wasn't able to stick with that plan. And the reality is you can have it all, you just don't need to have it all at once." Grady says we have to learn how to rein in our "inner five year old" that demands everything immediately.  You can find out more about Agewises' seminar "Small Ways to Get Big Changes" on their website; we have a link on our “Links” page. Grady was a guest on the KBND morning news program "Your Town" Thursday morning.
