Don't fret, do sweat!

I don't want to start over.

Hi Lola, catdog here. I'm fairly new to this too, but boy could I relate to the post where you said you had NO energy/appetite - my experience too. I look forward to someone more knowledgeable than me giving their opinion.
I think the best way to check if you're fat burning is the Ketostix from the chemist - needs to have changed colour as an indication, but some people say not to fret over the 'stix. For me, it's a reassuring indicator even though I don't seem to be using up body fat, I guess I must be and perhaps am replacing it with muscle as I too am going to the gym four times a week like yourself. No more cooking the calamari with crumbs on it if you can;t take them off!! I think it means your wheat/carb addiction has been fed again, and perhaps like smoking, youre not making it any easier for yourself. Who know though, perhaps it will be just a glitch, not a hitch. Exercise those crumbs off, I reckon!! Sometimes the guilt attached to a glitch is painful, let it free girl! And go to the gym, have a good workout and start a new day! That';#### feeling anyway. Cheers and good luck. catdog. (I've just started a journal. Rosebud and Malcolm are both great help, with lots of practice wisdom.) Catdog
