December 31st, 11:55 PM... a last slice of pizza in one hand and a glass of cold drink in the other. We excitedly tell ourselves, "That's it, live your life to the fullest! This is the last pizza; from tomorrow, your brother will only eat colorful vegetables and drink green tea."

The bitter truth is, these "foodie resolutions" are built on wishful thinking. The slightest craving and they all go down the drain. Let's take a look at 5 such food-related resolutions that don't even survive the first week of January:

"No more sugar from tomorrow."
This is the biggest lie in the world. We swear we'll drink tea without sugar and won't touch any sweets, but don't forget, this isn't just about January. Can you really say "no" to carrot halwa, hot gulab jamun, and jalebi? As soon as someone opens a box of sweets, your resolution will melt away like syrup.

"No more outside food, only home-cooked meals."
In our enthusiasm, we even uninstall food delivery apps, but then comes an evening in the first week of January... the vegetables at home aren't very good, and then a notification pops up on our phone: "Biryani is missing you!" And then what? Our fingers automatically go to "Order Now," and the "home-cooked meals" promise is postponed until next year.

"I'll only drink green tea instead of regular tea."
For the first two days, we dutifully drink green tea that tastes like boiled water. We console ourselves, "This is the secret to good health," but on the third day, as soon as it rains or the weather gets colder, the craving for strong ginger-cardamom tea starts to haunt us... and we tell ourselves, "Tea is an emotion, how can we give it up?" "Only salad for dinner."
This promise is the most impossible to keep. After a long day at work, when a person returns home, they don't want "grass and leaves," but rather something substantial like dal makhani or roti and vegetables. Eating salad feels like the stomach has only received a teaser; the main course is still missing. The result is that at 11 PM, we're rummaging through the kitchen cabinets looking for biscuits or snacks.

"Cheat day will only be on Sunday."
We think we'll diet for six days a week and only eat what we want on Sunday, but in reality, a friend's birthday comes up on Wednesday, there's an office party on Friday, and the weekend mood kicks in on Saturday. ​​Ultimately, the whole week ends up becoming a "cheat week."
