New Year's resolutions
What are you giving up in 2016?

CHICAGO (WLS) -- You still haven't made those New Year's resolutions, have you? Well, ABC7 Eyewitness News reporter Frank Mathie might be able to help you.

There are millions of stories in this city of ours and almost as many New Year's resolutions. We make them, we break them, and then a year later we make them all over again.

Losing weight. Eating better. Taking better care of ourselves. But what about texting? Do we really have to spend our lives staring down at our thumbs? Or missing what's going on around us?

"Right now? It sounds like the city," one person said.

New Year's resolutions started 4000 years ago in Babylonia. Chances are people were breaking them then, too.
