It seems likely that lack of strong will
and motivation is the major problem . The
programs for weight-loss you’ve tried
worked but “always something happens in
your life” that demotivates you. An
anxiety disorder (probably depression) may
likely be the major problem. Overeating is
an improper way to decrease anxiety but it
is often present in many anxiety
disorders.
You may want to consult a psychiatrist
about your case.
