Things aren't looking great for your resolution.
Based on previous form, you're likely to end up with Christmas dinner leftovers that outlast your resolution. Of course, this year could be your opportunity to buck that trend, once and for all—but, again, things aren't looking great right now.

One week doesn't sound like much—try think of it as two percent of a year. Actually, perhaps a week is better.
While you're not likely to go the distance, your answers at least indicate that you'll keep up appearances for a little while. That said, once you're back in your work schedule and the festive period is forgotten, your resolution will be promptly dumped, too.

A bit of an extra push is what's needed if you want to make sure your resolution can go the distance. Don't lose sight of the prize towards the end of the year!

You're about to accomplish the impossible: you're going to uphold your New Year's resolution.
Based on everything you've said, it seems more than likely that you're going to be able to see your resolution through into 2017 and beyond. Very well done—now just make sure it really happens that way.
