Feeling discouraged

Why is it when you get all pumped up and focused on losing weight and make a conscious effort to do better and jump on the scale and it laughs at you and throws a bunch of extra weight on as though it is mocking you?!!?

I have been eating salads, working out, cut out soda and have been drinking more water over the course of the week and instead of dropping even 1 lb or even a single ounce... I gained several more pounds than what I started with. It's frustrating to see!

Am I giving up because of it? No, of course not... I'll continue to man ship and continue forcing ahead... cause there has to be some sort of biological reason for the weight gain. I'll figure that out eventually. But, it's frustrating no less.

On top of that - I have been battling the WORST headache the past 2 days. It's knocked me out cold and made me immobile. All I've done was sleep and drink water. Nothing more. I feel miserable.
