Ha. I bet you have already forgotten all about New Year by now. But hey, I get it. I make a list of resolutions every year, and a week into January, I have already forgotten half of them. In less than two weeks time, I will have abandoned all of my resolutions entirely. It is an endless cycle of half-hearted attempts and a countless number of failures. Setting out to accomplish a resolution is a lofty task. Here is how the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" would describe it.

Day 1: You set out on your 365-day journey of accomplishing your New Year's resolutions: more exercise, eating healthier, waking up earlier, being nicer, etc. A new year, a new you, right? In the words of Barney Stinson,

Day 2: Your spirits are high and your determination is unwavering. This should be a breeze. You wake up at 8 a.m., eat a salad for lunch and even hit the gym. You got this.

Day 3: You're still going strong, give yourself a

Day 4: So you have picked up a couple of haters along the way. Your mom doesn't think you can keep it up, and your brother is tormenting you with his constant snacking.

Needless to say, you're a little on edge.

Day 5: It's ok. Brush it off and forget the haters. You're awesome.

Day 6: Alright, so today you slipped a little. You just needed to have that burger, and hey, you deserved that extra three hours of sleep and additional one-hour nap. But one cheat day is to be expected, right? Go ahead and give yourself an

Day 7: What's for lunch? Oh yeah, a salad… again… It has been officially one week since the start of your trying journey, and you can hear your stomach rumbling. You thought this was supposed to be a piece of cake. (Wait, did someone say cake!?)

Day 8: Its Day 8…

Day 9: Alright, thats it, you've had it. Enough with the early sleep schedules and the rabbit food. Why are you living like this? Who could possibly live like this? Stop the madness!

Day 10: You break.

Day 11: You don't know what Lily is saying here, but somehow, you completely understand her.

Day 12: You look at yourself in the mirror.

Hey, there's always 2017.
