    Hey, honey. If I were you, I would instead try something else. I have friends who've tried this and it didn't work for them even short term. They looked the same and were miserable!
    You could always try a few days of a fruit/veggie fast, or a juice cleanse, or something of the like. None of these are good long-term, but I'm sure you already know that!
    If you are totally set on the "military diet" I'm sure it's fine to substitute similar items. Overall, the things you've listed are BETTER for you than the original items so I'm sure it'll be fine.
    Have fun at the wedding, stay healthy!

    Everyone on here has been pretty nice. I won't be cause I'm gonna speak the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts but you need to hear it.

    A 3 day diet is not going to make you magically smaller. Too many factors play into you having hormones, and how food processes. It's time to be realistic-- if you want to lose weight, you are gonna have to work at it and decide well ahead of an event to do so.

    Go get a new dress... And wear your smile. No one will notice a few pounds difference on a happy, well dressed young mother. :)

    Thanks for all the 'supportive comments'.

    I don't know if anyone of you actually read my post, but this is only for a short term fix. I'm having to justify asking for advice, which is the last thing I want to spend my energy on. I never said I messed the whole thing up, just the last few weeks and as I said I wasn't in any way down about it.

    I'm just a girl who would like to feel confident on the one day that I have had to go out and feel special in a long time.

    I honestly don't know why I bothered. I came here for support, not to be made to feel like crud. If the majority of people that just posted, generally post in such a harsh manner, without even reading the initial post properly, I think you should reconsider.

    People generally are not in a great place confidence wise when trying to lose weight, and reaching out is actually a big thing. If you can't take a few seconds to re-read your post to ensure it bolsters individuals rather than knocking them down, than my advice is don't bother. Maybe you can go and be-friend Katie Hopkins instead.

    You want us to tell someone doing a stupid very low calorie crash diet that they're doing great and "You go girl!" instead of telling the truth? Got it.

    You go girl! Do whatever the hell you want.

    This

    And nice job on the self-pity

    If you are looking for short term results, I'd suggest just doing one of those wraps. I usually do one before I go to a big event or something just for a confidence boost. It only lasts a day or two, but it does help to make you look slimmer..

    Doing a crash diet usually just makes me feel crummy for a big event...

    No! Those wraps are just a terrible waste of money!

    Well we have to agree to disagree then. They work great for me for short term results...

    I use that "Fat Girl 6 Pack" stuff. Lather it on pretty generously, wrap some saran wrap on top and then wrap a couple ace bandages around that. I usually then sleep with it on over night. Each bottle is good for about 4 wraps so it comes to about $8-$10 per wrap. Not too expensive in my opinion, but I understand you and I could have different opinions on what is expensive... I usually do it before an event or a beach day. Again, this is a short term result only lasting about a day or two...


    LOL

    Better getting spanx to just hold in wobbly bits
