Synopsis
Sharon is going to model a dress for Dion. Nina told Sharon she still has her baby fat, so Sharon decides to go on a diet and lose weight before the fashion show. She doesn't eat anything and only drinks diet soda. Then, when she models Dion's dress, she is so hungry she faints on stage! Meanwhile, during rehearsals, she befriends the kind, funny, overweight stage manager, Harrison. But when he asks Sharon out, she's taken aback, and invents a boyfriend to get out of it. What's wrong with her - why this hangup about fat? Sharon passes on Harrison as a boyfriend, which is probably her loss. But Harrison's own self-acceptance inspires her to dump the diet and look at herself in a more forgiving light.
