2 Months In & New Resolutions

Hello everyone! I \[34/F\] want to write a status update on myself including what has worked for me so far and what I plan to do in the new year. So far I've been doing IF for 2 months. When I began I basically couldn't live without my coffee and cream so I decided to break my fast upon waking up and then switching to a fasted state after lunch. I did this for a couple weeks until I finally decided to stop my sugary creamer and go black coffee. The last month and a half I've been doing OMAD. My diet hasn't really changed other than I refuse to drink my calories (no soda, milkshakes, etc), I'm trying to limit the days when I eat added sugar (1-2 days a week only), and I'm trying to increase my fiber intake. Month 1 I refused to weigh myself. I didn't want to. I didn't want to be discouraged by seeing the scale to up and down or do the math of how much I'll have to lose in order to feel like I hit my goal. I am too type A to know I hyper fixate so I just did IF and just listened to my body. I could feel myself physically feel better. Month 2 I decided to weigh myself and stepped on a digital scale that updates on my app every morning (ritualistically wake - pee - strip - weigh). My days were variable where I went up quite a few days but would always come back down. Middle of the month out of nowhere I could feel myself get bloated for 3 days then it disappeared and this last week I've been dealing with being a tad sick which has also kept my weight up/down. Here is a one month daily weigh in chart. I removed the weight reading and just wanted to focus on the direction my weight is going. I'm definitely losing and losing in the guidelines that people consider healthy: [https://imgur.com/a/jlebAXa](https://imgur.com/a/jlebAXa) I'm not big on new years resolutions but decided to push myself to continue a few things: 1. **Weigh myself every day** as I have been doing. I know this is something that other's will find very troubling but for me I am OK with the days that I increase as long as I am not consistently increasing. I want to be accountable first thing in the morning to know this number. 2. **Do IF every day.** I'm not even concerned if it's OMAD every day. I just want to be able to say each day that there is a set time when I am going to be fasting. If it's for 23 hours or for 16 I don't really think it matters. What matters is that I am being intentional with it. 3. **Continue to focus on reducing added sugars in my diet** to only 1-2 days a week. I live in America where we consume processed foods like crazy but I physically feel better not eating sugar every day. The first couple weeks was rough but after that I feel like even caffeine is optional to me. (I used to be a Starbucks drive thru person every day on the way to the office) I have other goals that I'm making for my physical health and bucket list goals but I think these three things are absolutely doable, will not make me feel burnt out by February, and I know will make me feel good by the end of 2022. I'm curious if anyone else has similar goals and how are you going to track them. I'll also recommend the book Atomic Habits for those really wanting to make clear, actionable goals. Thank you for listening everyone and have a happy and safe New Years.
