Will I ever break this plateau? I need inspiration:(

Been counting macros for a week. Been pretty good and consistent, mainly focusing on micro nutrient dense foods with some treats fit in every day. I am completely convinced that the science of it is true and logical and will work but of course there are exceptions right???... Been at a 122lb plateau for months seems like. I realize that one week with macros and getting skeptical is a little impatient but still, I can't help but wonder if I'M different.. if there is something wrong with me because i still haven't lost a pound and I feel like I WILL not break this damn plateau by eating a treat a day even if it DOES fit my numbers...
The other thing is, if I never see do results with this, I assume some would say I need to lower my numbers. but I'm already hungry all the time as it is.
I dunno I am just really frustrated and feel like no matter how much I research I won't find any comfort or good advice specifically applicable to me... and I so badly wish that I could find some kind of trainer where I live that does IIFYM and maybe have a few sessions or consultations at least, because I also want to get into a gym and start lifting.... following all these contest vloggers on youtube really grows on ya..... It would be so awesome if I could just freaking shred the rest of this fat on my belly and get ripped..... but I am so much at the beginning of all of this I just don't even know what to think right now -_____-
This post is way too long but I am having a very negative outlook right now and I just wan't some hope!!

I feel you! I have about 30 more pounds to lose (way more than you for sure) but I found that I plateaued hugely while eating IIFYM. It is a great way to maintain, but for me I couldnt lose. I too, thought, "I am just a weird person and my body is weird." I don't know how in the hell these women are able to eat 2500 calories a day and lose weight. But it is not for me. Good luck. You will fight it and make it. I hope I do too!0

If you really want to you can use an online nutrition coach that will guide you through your macros! I just started with Kristin Pope of Barbells and Bows and so far I'm really happy
But there are tons of others. Another program Ive heard good things about (my husband uses it) is Avatar Nutrition- and it's only $10 a month.0
