The story goes deeper and is more ingrained than you suspect.
It all began when I brought this issue up to my body-positive coach, Nat Smith, and then they recommended a book, Body Kindness: Transform Your Health from the Inside Out — and Never Say Diet Again. I changed my thoughts about good and bad foods and learned about intuitive eating. I also benefited from the Noom app coaching classes. Over time, my psychological blueprint changed, and I felt like I wasn’t craving foods as often, whether healthy or unhealthy — I stopped giving them that label. What is most important here is eating in moderation and at a caloric deficit.

My care team suggested I see an endocrinologist to verify that my hair loss wasn’t occurring due to some hormonal change and that it was entirely autoimmune. That was a success, but I didn’t expect a talk about what endocrinology is and that my obesity would make it so my prediabetes will most definitely progress to type 2 diabetes if I do not lose weight soon.
