In thinking I can lose 10 pounds by Saturday?!

I've just been invited to a party on Saturday which is being covered by US Vogue. In the extreme unlikelyhood of me actually being in the background in a picture and because every single other person will be a foot taller, beautiful and skinny and it'll be my first proper night out since having ds 3 years ago and I'm a wobbly mess, is there any way you can quickly shed some flab, and any other instant tricks to look less shit?

Frouby - Grin

No way can your h lose 20 lb in a week. 1.5 stones?? Just no.

I'd probably avoid bread and anything else likely to cause bloating

A tan is good.

Spank and a good bra are next.

Good hair. Simple dress. Bold lipstick

Rock that party

Spanx obviously. I apologise for my spell check Blush

Get a body wrap and take some water retention tablets.

BTW OP, make no apologies for who you are. Parties are supposed to be fun, you don't need to stuff yourself into a corset just because US Vapid are present looking angry and eating salad leaves.

Yes, exactly alpacasandwich.

also, its their job to look like that.

And remember, everyone is so busy worrying what people think of them, they will barely notice anyone else.

I do have the advantage of being British which everyone loves here.

of course you bloody are. Even a bout of gastroenteritis would be pushing it.

I don't usually call someone stupid, but... Wear something that looks good and you feel good in rather than hat you'd feel good in a size smaller (not that you can lose 10lb of fat in 2 days).

Unless you;re famous, then US Vogue probably don't give a shit about you, anyhow.

Just work the accent barn

Dat don't need no introduction Grin🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Buy something more extreme than Spanx with bones in it. It's best to go somewhere with an experienced fitter. Think embarressing Bridget Jones garment.
Confidence is the best cosmetic.

Unless your H weighs somewhere in the region of 25+ stone I doubt he lost 20lbs in a week. Even then it's highly unlikely.
