It’s seven weeks into the new year.Do you know where your resolution is If you’re like millions ofAmericans, you probably vowed to lose weight, quit smoking and drink less in the new year. You kicked off January with a commitment to long-term well-being--until you came face-to-face with a cheeseburger. You spent a bundle on a shiny new gym pass. Turns out, it wasn’t reason enough for you to actually use the gym.

People can make poor decisions when it comes to health--despite their best intentions. It’s not easy abiding by wholesome choices (giving up French fries) when the consequences of not doing so (heart disease) seem so far in the future. Most people are bad at judging their health risks: smokers generally know cigarettes cause cancer, but they also tend to believe they’re less likely than other smokers to get it.And as any snack-loving dieter can attest, people can be comically inept at predicting their future .behavior.

Paradoxical, maybe, but effective.ConsiderAmica Mutual Insurance, based in Rhode IslanD、Arnica seemed to be doing everything right: it boasts an on-site fitness center at its headquarters. It pays toward Weight Watchers and smoking-cessation help, gives gift cards to reward proper prenatal care and offers free flu shots each year. Still, in the mid-2000s, about 7% of the company’s insured population, including roughly 3 100 employees and their dependents, had diabetes. "We manage risk. That’s our core business," says ScottBoyd,Amica’s director of compensation and benefits.But diabetes-related claims fromArnica employees had doubled in four years. "We thought, OK,"Boyd says now, "we have to manage these high-risk groups a little better. \
