I seem to have spent most of my life trying to lose weight - with success on and off over the yeas. However lately I find I can do well through the day but when I get home I almost sabotage things - if I'm fed up I'll overeat and get into a vicious cycle of depression and overeating. Can anyone suggest any reasons why I keep on doing this?

If you try the wrong diet, you don't end up losing weight, you may be making muscle instead, if you eat too many carbs then do the wrong kind of exercise. Then you get fed, up and probably give up, and over eat to comfort. Try doing it as part of a group, then you get more support and help.
State of mind...

It's not a diet, it's a change of life style. Stop denying yourself things and you won't crave them.
Have things as a treat, not a daily snack. They taste better, especially fi you know you deserve them.

Also, if you eat out, look out for the healthiest options. meringues are good puddings, if you are still full after savory stuff.

It is a known fact....diets do not work. Change your life style. It's a 'forever' thing. Eat good food and exercise.

I know it's easier said than done....but it's the only way.

They say life begins at 40 ummmm:-))
You need to address the underlying psychological reasons that cause the overeating - depression or whatever. Maybe you could try hypotherapy to change your attitude to food. Paul McKenna claims to be able to do it
