So I absolutely need to get my belly flat over the weekend. HOW?

I don't think there is a way to go from bumpy to smooth belly in a few days even with unhealthy methods.
You can try to hide or disguise it as others have suggested.

If all else fails, get some "My eyes are up here" glasses:...keep the eyes on your smiling face, where they belong!

One of the wraps might help. Also watch your sodium intake today as well as other foods that make you bloat.
You won't lose fat, but might appear "flatter".0 -
no carbs, no liquids, take a couple diuertics.
It's terrible to your health, but you'll probably "make weight".0 -
Guys, thank you so much. First, sorry for the out-of-rules picture I posted (ups, didn't even realize it had nudity, apologies). Second, thank you so much for the ideas. I didn't even consider the tummy-controlling bikini! Also, I've heard about the wraps, but I'm not sure it's sold in my country - ill look for it tho, they seem good for a weekend solution.
Ill up the water intake, train my posture and hope for the best!0 -
get a spray tan0

Really? How silly. LOL0

THIS. After you do these things listed above make sure your personality and confidence shine above all the others. You yourself said you are good at what you do. Show it! Don't even allow anyone to notice a small detail that probably only bothers you.0 -
It won't fix the problem, but you could do a salt scrub and moisturize well. It will make the skin feel a little tighter.
You can buy salt scrubs in the store, but they are easy to make too. Take about a cup of table salt, add a couple of tablespoons of sea salt, mix. Add about 3T of olive oil and mix with a spoon to combine. Add in about 1/4 C of your favorite body wash (I like the cheap grapefruit wash from Trader Joe's) and mix some more.
Take a warm bath, scrub your belly, rinse. Pat dry and moisturize.
It feels good, is relaxing and totally safe .0 -

You should Trademark it, dude. Seriously.
I just put TM at the end, right?0 -
what is "rad promoting skills"...?? LOL
OP - go zero carb and you should drop about five to tend pounds in water weight. You will probably be a crabby mess though ...0 -
Hey guys! Thanks for the answers! I actually though I expressed myself wrong!
I know there's no way my tummy is getting smaller. I was wondering if I could get it smoother. My tummy has some bumps, I'd just like to have it smooth. Still big but smooth. Maybe like a massage or something to even it out.
emergency skin graft?0 -

Yup, assuming it's a legit, respectable product, they will probably respond to your wearing a more covering bikini and acting with grace and confidence in the interview...if the company is smart, sales skills and demeanor will be a higher priority than looking "perfect" while almost naked.0 -
What others have said about a flattering suit, don't do the spray tan unless you KNOW the place is reputable (*think* orange-looking skin, whoah!), do your hair, pedi, mani, and practice your POSTURE in front of the mirror. Wear high heels (*think* beauty pageant struts). Posture is key to making your figure flattering. As for the bumps on your belly? Is it REALLY that noticeable? If you know a good makeup artist, they could probably cover it up. However, that makeup may show up on your audition tape/pix so be careful there.
Have fun. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity.0 -

spray tanning will help
find a high waisted bikini (might be hard to find in stores this time of year but maybe) - i have one that i love (but cant wear anymore, too big now!) LOL!
This is really good advice. I wouldn't recommend those stupid wraps to anyone trying to lose weight, but I think your case is exactly what they're for. I've used them before, and they really do work, but only for a day or two. The wrap, along with the spray tan, would give you a temporary solution to boost your confidence for the audition. Good luck to you!0 -

Why is losing water weight unhealthy? I don't know anything about KK, so perhaps she was taking too many, but losing water weight would not necessarily be unhealthy or make one faint.
It would likely flatten your tummy some though.
Losing some water weight is fine. Losing enough water weight to make your appearance visibly change is normally just called dehydration - and that can be problematic.

I am confused at your description, OP. Can we get pictures posted up on the thread?0

it's being able to stand for 9 hours straight with heels, always smiling and selling lots of a product that actually sucks XD

Exercise! Exercise it just before and it will leave your stomach looking a bit tighter, albeit temporarily!0

Sorry this is a little late, but you can try some Yin Yoga poses. Or even sign up for a Hot Yoga class. Yoga is great for toning up.0
