I crave junk food, both sweet and salty. I really have to fight against this craving. I try to only indulge on weekends. On the other hand, I love fresh fruit and veggies in the summer time, meat and fish. Living where I do in Alaska, and having a husband who loves to fish, we get pretty much all we want of several different types of fish and seafood. We are also lucky enough to have a friend who loves to hunt, and he shares his wild game with us.

Speaking of gut problems though, I've got some kind of gut thing going on, and I'm not sure what causes it. For one thing, fiber seems to make it worse. When I eat, it feels like it just sits in my stomach, right under my breastbone. Sometimes I feel pressure there for hours after eating. What the heck, that's just not right!!

Anyway, that's my situation. It will be interesting to hear if there's any common thread here. Oh, by the way, I'm certainly no Skinny Minnie!
