Scared of failure

I've lost over 50 lb. in the past few years. I fell off the wagon when I hit the last 10 lb., but I'm here to start up again and lose this weight. I'm scared though. I used to be so physically fit and had so much stamina. I know that's not the case now. I know working out will be hard for me, that I'll tire out more easily. That really bothers me and makes me want to just give up and never finish losing weight. I'm not looking forward to struggling so much to drop this weight.
Plus, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get any lower than 141 lb. I have a small frame, so 130 is my ultimate goal weight. I feel like I've tried everything to lose the last bit of weight (calorie cycling, increasing calories, decreasing, HIIT, strength training, etc.) and nothing has worked. I didn't lose inches or pounds. I kind of feel like... what's the point? It'll be just the same this time. I'll still work my butt off and it'll amount to nothing.
Does anyone have any advice? Anyone else feel the same way?
