My (pre) prom experience was an interesting one...
Gained too much weight for my dress
Starved to fit it
Busted the zipper, but got it fixed
ODed on diet pills the night before (throwing up the pills and
tiny bit of food I had, and being unable to move from the
couch)
Lost an inch or more in 5 days.
But I was able to fit it.
Victory is mine.
