The first few weeks of the New Year often bring self-made promises and resolutions to break bad habits or start new healthy ones.

Dr. Joshua Hraboski, manager of Greenwich Hospital’s Center for Behavioral and Nutritional Health, says that while the start of a new calendar year brings the opportunity to live healthier, there is no wrong time to start.

“There’s no bad time to start trying to change,” Dr.Hraboski, a psychologist specializing in long-term behavior change, said. “A Tuesday is as good as a Monday. Dec. 31 is just as good as Jan. 1. We have to be aware of what prevents us from succeeding long-term. It’s a life-long change we’re trying to implement.”

Gym memberships go up, diets are watched and calories are counted, but it is often the psychological factor that is forgotten when trying to stay healthy.

“As a psychologist, my goal is to help people gain awareness of the obstacles and the barriers that often prevent people from making changes or cause relapse. The psychology behind it is really about greater self-awareness of behavior change.”

In fact, the Greenwich Hospital recognized this change, rebranding its Weight Loss and Diabetes Center as the Center for Behavioral and Nutritional Health on Jan. 4, 2016.

The hospital says the new name was picked to reflect their “expanded mission.”

“The new name is significant because the mission of the Center for Behavioral and Nutritional Health (CBNH) extends beyond the scope of weight and diabetes management,” Norman G. Roth, Greenwich Hospital president, said in a statement. “The name reflects the full array of services that we have been providing for a long time to keep people healthy.”
