I’ve dieted for years but the weight won’t come off..

OK, so the title is obviously Bait-ey. I have dieted for years. Calories in calories out, daily tracking. I know how much I’m eating down to the calorie. I can eyeball portions to the gram, Ive verified with a scale. the problem is not that I’m eating at a deficit and not losing. I’m not making any claim that I’ve eaten 1200 cal for the last six months and I haven’t lost a pound. The weight that im maintaining makes total sense given my intake, so the problem isn’t a discrepancy there, it’s just that I CANT. FORCE MYSELF. INTO A DEFICIT. CaIl it a willpower problem, but I get ravenously hungry with alarming frequency. I eat clean, but when I’m hungry I can’t focus at all and my mood is very poor. I will be successful with minor, reasonable deficits (I’ve tried daily deficits as low as 200 cals!) for a couple of weeks at a time, but will inevitably wake up very hungry one day and go on the most unbelievable animal like binge you’ve ever seen. I hate eating, I don’t want to think about it and would love to save money by lowering my TDEE through weight loss. but I cannot keep on with this fruitless binge cycle which has seen my focus and productivity dramatically impaired. Clearly traditional CICO does not work for me. Has anyone had a similar struggle with CICO? Have you found alternatives to reduce appetite and Decenter food from your life? Edit: if you’re going to downvote I’d at least like to know why :(((
