Scale shows 5lb gain since yesterday????

Ok I'm 14 months and down 153lbs out and about two weeks ago I had my period, however I can feel myself beginning to ovulate right now and my mood swings and CRAVINGS are definitely kicking in. Now during my period I allow myself to give into my carb cravings mostly in moderation-I usually stay away from carbs and even eat the good carbs very rarely-and no matter waht i try my hardest to keep my calorie intake at about 1300 or under usually like 1250 but sometimes I know it has been higher and then I don't count-Anyways yesterday my scale said I weighed 223.5 and now it is saying 228.5-I have been drinking lots of water today and I got on the scale right after I finished drinking almost 1.5 liters of water but I went right to use the bathroom and then got on the scale and that's when i got hit with the five pounds-Could the carbs I've eaten in the past few weeks be showing up now? I did have a pretzel craving for about a week during my period as well and am having one now-Would I have gained 5 lbs since yestersay or if I gained wouldn;t it have shown up by now-I don;t feel like I gained weight I actually feel like I was at the right weight yesterday-Whatis going on-Is it my obsession with the scale that is driving me crazy-I get on the scale several times a day? trying to lose another 20-30 lbs-What's up the weight gain???
