How do you combat DIScouragement?

Hello! My name is Lynn. How many of you have ever started a "diet", or just tried to change your habits to be a healthier person? Only to find yourself getting discouraged. You feel like no matter how many things you do right, you still endi up with failing or stagnate results?

I'm struggling. I have been following this Noom app. And I bought the books. They have been great in helping me mentally and emotionally be aware of how food effects me, and why I eat what I eat. Once I figured that out, I now have a different perspective of food. I am definitely very cautious of what food I put in my body. But I am losing the will to continue.
The physical part has me almost falling into a depression. According to my food chart, I am doing pretty much everything right. My exercise chart tells me I am also putting in the right effort. Now, I have been at this for 4 weeks. In the first 3 weeks, I lost 15 lbs. I have gained back 6lbs. and I have haven't faltered on my regiment at all. How is this happening?
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
How did you handle it?
Does it get better?

Are your targets realistic? Losing 9lbs seems a pretty impressive achievement and you should be proud of your discipline. Did you feel healthier in yourself for it?

When I was younger my health issues were to do with having to put on weight. I was ultimately successful, but I made myself quite ill at times by focusing exclusively on weight.
