Why is it everytime I eat fast or junk food, I gain weight? I'm tracking calories with myfitnesspal and always stay within the correct amount of calories yet if I eat just one cookie (within allowed calories), I undo 2 days of hard work? In the pic, any fluctuation is when I ate a Subway sandwhich or just a cookie or a small shake or a burger when I left myself 1k calories to eat it... wtf.
fast/junk food contained lots of salt, often lots of carbohydrates which cause big water retention

Yeah, being overweight/obese my entire life sucks... thats why (at 20) I want to fix that before it's too late. Although I'm assuming my metabolism is already shot so this is going to be a challenege.

short answer: sodium, sugar, processed fats and simple carbs.

Water retention has a bigger effect on your day to day weight than fat loss/gain.
Stop sperging out about your weight change from day to day and just compare the general trend or weekly averages.

weigh yourself every morning. your weight can fluctuate up or down based on whatever you have. salt, fat, water and about everything else you eat

You want to lose fat, not weight. Don't put too much weight into your weight.
