Those are just some of the goals people often set for themselves after ringing in a new year.

There’s something about Jan. 1 that is associated with fresh starts, but while resolutions are still a thing for some people, others don’t bother because they feel it is a way to set themselves up for failure.

Online betting site Casino.ca surveyed 3,000 Canadians about their views on and experiences with new year’s resolutions and while 60% admitted to making a resolution this year, 61% also called the goals “overrated.”

For those who made resolutions last year, only 35% across Canada said they stuck to it to achieve their goal.

Ontarians fared a little better with 39% persisting and persevering with their resolution.

That said, more than half (58%) of Canadians admitted that they didn’t actually believe they would see it through.

That number was a little lower for those in Ontario with 56% sticking to their guns.
