Although Jackie did her best everyday while out of the house limiting her calories and going to the gym, neither were any conpetition against the subliminal messages being pumped out through the gift box from "Just Desserts" that she placed in her bedroom walk-in closet. To be honest, she'd already forgotten about the box, but that did not stop it from continually doing its job.

As said, intially, Jackie did a fantastic job mitigating the damage of her fiance's nightly stuffings, basically sticking to a "water fast" during the day. Jackie was no novice when it came to extreme dieting techniques. This wasn't her first rodeo, but it was her first one where she had subliminal feedee messages coursing through her mind twenty four seven.

That given and manupulated subconscious aspect of her psyche however, made it much more difficult for Jackie to maintain her delicately balanced metabolism and svelte form. Besides the obvious fact that Brian was continually stuffing her as well as himself to the brim every night, with larger and richer meals, Jackie found it harder and harder to resist her growing hunger pangs.

While what she truly desired were the greasy doubled bacon cheeseburgers that Brian now insisted on eating every meal, you know to "bulk up", Jackie intially kept her out of the house caloric splurges to protein bars, as they were high in the protein she needed to build up lean muscle that burns fat. However, that trick only works, if one either has only a single bar a day, or just replaces their regular meals with the given bars. However, this was not the case.

Jackie was for now, still eating like a rabbit in public, salads and the like, but that was normal for her anyway. What wasn't normal though was Jackie's unconscious mind begging her to feed herself. One extra bar turned into two, and then three and four, with sometimes the now constantly ravenous Jackie devouring two or three bars at one sitting.

"But these protein bars aren't gonna make me fat. They're healthy, good for ya", Jackie would often say to herself as she added another 300 carb loaded calories to her already growing total.
