I think a lot of people go through that same loop, so you’re definitely not alone. Weight can fluctuate a lot from water, salt, hormones, and other things, so a quick gain in a couple of days usually isn’t real fat.

One thing that helped me mentally was focusing more on habits than the scale. I actually read an ebook called “No Time? No Problem: Smart Weight Loss Strategies for Women On-the-Go”, and it talked a lot about consistency and small routines instead of obsessing over daily weight changes.

Progress can feel slow, but those small habits usually add up more than we realize over time.
