Can we talk about the small changes you made, or the psychology that helped?

Did a ton of research, and there's so many things I want to cut/add to lose weight. I've been down this road before where I try to change too much at once, don't gain traction, and give up after a week. It's my fault, of course. I lack patience and I want to see changes NOW even though I know that's not possible. It's a weird mind thing, but I'm wondering if anyone else has struggled with this? For me, MFP has been challenging b/c for some reason I get really neurotic/borderline obsessive or OCD, and I'd end up checking everything a million times. Anyone relate?

I want to: drink more water... do keto... meal prep... cut bad carbs... work out... do intermittent fasting, etc. For those who succeeded, did you do a drastic lifestyle change all at once, or did you do a bit every week? For example, I read on one of the posts before, a guy who started by cutting sugar from coffee... then he cut cream... then he cut soda, and so on. And it all added up, of course. I think maybe I lack patience b/c I don't FEEL in my heart, that if I eat this bag of chips, that it makes a big difference. And of course, one bag of chips doesn't really make any difference, it's the bag of chips every day that adds up. Sort of a "how much sand makes a pile" thing. So yeah, curious about people's mental or psychological perspective :)
