The vast majority of people don't even try at all, you're way ahead of the average person.
Everything you have done so far, even if you quit half way, has taught you something. You've picked up new technical skills, you've learned about your physical and emotional health, and you know more about your strengths and weaknesses that you did before.
I don't think enough people self reflect. If you gave up, try to think about why. Did you quit when you got bored? Or when it got too hard? Did life get in the way? If you can start to recognize patterns, then it makes it easier to spot those same behaviors/situations earlier next time, and maybe you can make the necessary changes to push through.
Lots of people are quick to label themselves or their actions as failures; but you/they are not not. Even if you abandoned the project or gave up the health kick, if you came out it with ANY sort of knowledge that you didn't have before then you have improved yourself and should consider the effort worth while.
Really, figure out what your goals are, and work towards them, slowly. Don't try to make huge changes over night; it can take many small, incremental positive changes to get where you want to be.
Why do you want to launch a project? Is the goal self employment, or do you just like tinkering and building things? Both are totally acceptable! Figure out what motivates you!
Also, I highly recommend trying to connect with people with similar goals. This is a fantastic way to meet new people, and having people there to encourage you when you're feeling down or like giving up can make a huge difference. If they have similar goals, they've most likely felt like you do at some point, and can provide the support and encouragement needed to persevere.
