Back when my weight started with a 3, I was told I was pre-diabetic, but I'm much better now, and my current GP hasn't mentioned diabetes to me at all. I got down to 201 lbs. towards the beginning of the year, but I'm 220 today. (Current goal is 197, but 165 would be better.)

I tried intermittent fasting both sticking to a 16/8 for a few months and separately abstaining entirely for a couple of weekends. Didn't really help reset my instincts / cravings.

I still feel hungry more often than I should eat. I have gotten into the habit of trying to silence the rumbling guts with calorie-free fluids and waiting 30 minutes, but frequently I find myself still hungry and in a worse mood after that wait.

If I stick to the diet I have planned, I will lose weight, and sometimes I can do that, but it's getting harder and less frequent.
