The first step is to admit you have a problem..

[Cheese intake: Boursin stuffed in chicken, Cheddar on jacket potato]

Hi my name's Annika and I'm a cheese-aholic...

I first considered that I might have a slight problem after a trip to Asda saw me returning with no less than six types of cheese, including Cheddar, Brie, Boursin, Mozzarella, Feta and Emmental. This shop may not seem excessive to one with a family to feed but as I am a student solely feeding yours truly I did feel a little cheeseguilt as I broke off a piece of cheddar to nibble on in the car ride home.

I have however found good reason for this love of mine, I recently read that the 'feel good' hormone, tryptophan, that's found in cheese is more effective than that feel-good effect you get from chocolate. So why when people buy you presents do they always buy chocolate? I for one know I'd be much more appreciative of a well thought out cheeseboard. Just a thought...
