chapter 1

"I swear, I read about it online, on this weight loss blog. It works!"

Jessica looked at him skeptically. She didn't believe anything of what her boyfriend Marcus just explained to her. He sighed in response to her silence and then started talking again: "Baby, you know that I think you're beautiful but I also know that you're not happy with your body. So I did some research because I didn't want you to go on of those crazy restricting diets. And then I found this blog, you know, and the way this diet was described sounded really good and a lot of people online said it worked for them."

She still wasn't completely convinced, it just sounded too good to be true. Losing weight that easily. Jessica wasn't fat, not even chubby. She was rather tall, 5'9 and weighed around 155 lbs. She just wanted to get a bit slimmer. She sighed again. "Okay, well then explain it to me again."

Marcus smiled at her. "Basically it works like this: For a whole month you eats as much as you can. You can stuff yourself with whatever you want. And then after that month, you have gained a bit of wight, BUT your body has adjusted itself to a high calorie intake, so when you start eating normal again after that, you lose everything you gained and even more."

Jessica thought about it for a second. It was just so tempting, being able to eat what she wanted and as much of it as she wanted and still losing weight after that. And what Marcus just told her also kind of made sense to her. She made a decision. "Okay babe. I'm gonna try it."

Later that day, Jessica was sitting on her computer, doing some work (she was an accountant and was able to work from home most of the time), when Marcus put down a bowl of M&Ms next to her. He leaned down, gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered into her ear: "I brought you a little snack, honey." Jessica chuckled. "That's what you call little? That's more sweets than I normally eat in a week. Also, I'm still so full from lunch." She leaned back in her chair, putting har hands on her still fairly bloated belly. Marcus looked at her belly, wondering how it might look, when she would finally be heavier, how her belly would spill onto her lap, how every part of her body would finally soft and squishy. He couldn't wait for it.
