Congratulations to Jeannine, who has won our February 27 contest. Her prize is a copy of  Dr. Georgia Andrianopoulous' book, Retrain Your Brain, Reshape Your Body: The Breakthrough Brain-Changing Weight-Loss Plan.

We asked what stresses you out and sends you snacking. Jeannine told us:

"Retraining my Brain and Reshaping my Body is exactly what I need….I’m getting married this September!

What stresses me out and sends me snacking? Oh gosh, what doesn’t? Let’s see…

planning my wedding
financial strain
my 10 yr old
having just put down my ill cat
my noisy upstairs neighbour
the chance I might lose my job
not having enough put into my RSP

…should I go on?

Yes, I know I’ll feel better while on my honeymoon…but then again I’ll be stressed out worrying about my child while I’m away. Then again, I’ll be worrying about the bills that will be waiting for me too! Ahh! Help me!

I take comfort in chocolate. Chocolate good. Mmmm."

Yes, chocolate good, indeed. Congratulations, Jeannine!

The long, cold, damp, sunless days. The miserable, foreboding, leafless trees. The lowly snow banks encrusted with sand and salt and all manner of icky litter.

Ohhh, February. You're the shortest month of the year. Why do you seem to go on forever?

The whole thing makes me want to curl up on my couch and watch mindless reality TV with a never-ending can of Pringles. (Do you think there is such a thing? Maybe at Costco?)

February brings me down and it's tempting to make myself feel better with food.

Apparently, cutting-edge brain imaging technology shows that we're driven to overeat to satisfy pleasure centres in our brains. How can we fight that?

Dr. Georgia Andrianopoulous has created a program to help you retrain your brain. It's detailed in her book, Retrain Your Brain, Reshape Your Body: The Breakthrough Brain-Changing Weight-Loss Plan.

Maybe a tough day at work makes you reach for a bag of chips. A fight with a family member could make you turn to a sundae for solace. What gets you stressed, and what food do you find comfort in?

You have until Thursday, March 19 to let us know. I'll announce the winner here on Monday, March 23. Good luck!
