A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION CONCEPT THAT IS A WINNER

I think I have hit upon the secret to successful diet. 

Since on New Year's Day most of us make resolutions we don't keep past four weeks (for some four days), what if we vow to not do something good for us?  When we say we aren't going to drink pop or eat candy or cookies or pie for the whole year, we always, always eventually and quickly cave.  Right? 

Why not reverse the claim so that it would be beneficial to us?

For example, since we can't seem to keep a resolution, what if we said something like, I am not going to eat healthy this year?  What might happen?  If true to past and consistent pattern, wouldn't we break our vows and begin to cheat by eating fruits and vegetables? 

It seems to me that with this approach we would beat ourselves at our own game!  The good news is by losing we would win!
