It's now too tight but still beautiful.I have 48 hours worth of will power - health be blowed, get me into this skirt!!!!!!!

The only option is to be thinner, I think. if I eat lots of ,,ahem.. 'clearing' foods tomorrow, it might empty my gut abit?Maybe?

hmmm can you make up a fastening for the top? Once you're wankered you won't care anyway.

cornsillk · 26/08/2009 23:44

Eat soup tomorrow and nothing else.

NervousNutty · 26/08/2009 23:45

Hmm possibly.

What you really need is the d&v bug I had in 2007, I lost a stone on 12lbs in 24 hours.

God, have only been drinking Fanta and I still cock up my posts.

I meant to say, that I lost 12lbs in 24 hours.

Wear magic knickers on the date and change into french knickers at an opportune moment...

ohjustgrowup · 27/08/2009 08:48

Last time I had similar problem I wore big magic pants but with barely there scanties underneath...when things got heated just went off to the loo, whipped of hideous big ones and hid them in my bag. Job done. (bit of a hassle though)

Whatever you do don't eat potatoes, bread or pasta - it will bloat you horribly.

Drink tons of water, eat protein and veg only. Don't know if this advice comes too late, hope the date goes well!

ohjustgrowup · 27/08/2009 08:49

soopermum - does it not ride up? I've got one a bit like it, but there's nothing to anchor it down, so it ends up riding up above my belly so actually making matters worse.

soopermum1 · 27/08/2009 17:44

hiya. nope the vests don't ride up on me, they're pretty long (I'm 5 foot 6)and i have enough flab to keep them anchored down nicely

spend all your time on MN and forget to eat.

when bored with MN load everyone in the puchair and walk uphill...
