When she woke up early that morning, she decided to forget about the diet: she'd eventually get depressed and start eating again. So, she made herself a big continental breakfast and ate like a woman starved. About halfway through, she started to feel full, but managed to finish up and headed for work, having satisfied her stomach...
Well, until lunchtime, that is. Her stomach was roaring for food, and Ema didn't want to deny it that pleasure. She headed over to a local restaurant and ordered as much as she could eat, which was a lot. A half-hour later, Ema had realized that she was late. In a rush, she paid the bill and took the leftovers with her. Throughout the rest of the day, she appeased her hunger by snacking on dough cakes, as usual.
But when she got home, she re-heated the leftovers from lunch and chowed down, and after that, she made a large sundae, which she happily gobbled down.
This continued for over two weeks, until her superiors had finally had it with the overgrown detective and kicked her out. By this time, Ema weighed approximately 275 pounds and was having trouble finding clothes that fit. With her job canned, Ema was in dire straits: if she couldn't find another job, and quick, she could kiss her whole lifestyle goodbye. That's when she saw two large posters: one was advertising an eating contest, with the winner recieving $10,000. Ema thought that $10k would be enough to live on until she could find another job. That's when she looked at another poster, and this one was asking for new talent for a BBW modeling magazine, with a starting pay of $250. While it wasn't as much as the prize money being offered at the contest, this would end the need to find a job, if she was accepted. She was torn about which opportunity to take.
