This year, Canadians want to floss more, eat fewer french fries and then eventually save the world. More than 51 per cent of Canadians make New Year's resolutions, but more than half of us -- 52 per cent -- can't last more than a month, according to a recent survey by Virgin Mobile Canada…Don't be discouraged by the drop-off rate if you truly want to bring change into your year. Diane Dressel, a registered dietitian at the Mayo Clinic says we only fail at your resolutions when we give up. "Look at the big picture, nobody is asking for perfection and people do fall off the wagon from time to time."
