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.
