It was only a matter of time before I found my skinny fairy godmother. Nadine Dorries appeared on the front page of the Daily Mail yesterday, showing off her slim and trim figure after her jab. The weight loss drug she took was called Munjaro, an anti-diabetic injection similar to the headline-grabbing Ozempic. Between the before and after photos, Dories has almost lost her second place and is now a dress size 10. All of this was accomplished in three months.
A few years ago, this would have been about Weight Watchers counting calories and weighing themselves over the course of a year or two. Or talk about Slim Fast Shakes. Or the story of quitting boxing and drinking…slowly and steadily. BMI improves. But lately, all the talk on the town is about a once-a-week weight loss pill called Vitamin O. This works faster than anyone can believe, and by holding back on food, you no longer have to empty the fridge and fight against hope. Your willpower will overcome your hunger pangs. .
The drug is not new. Sharon Osbourne opens up about losing 3 stone in 4 months at Ozempics Spring 2023, Oprah Winfrey, like Whoopi Goldberg and Amy Schumer, says she’s on anti-diabetic diet to control weight He talked about using injectable drugs. But Dorries’ Munjaro moment is a turning point. What used to be a little hidden help for the rich and famous is now going mainstream.

If these weight loss effects are rolled out around the world, we can expect the world to become very different. There was a No. 10 where there was a No. 14, there was a No. 14 where there was a No. 18, Oxfam and Red Cross shops packed to the rafters with “old weight” clothes and abandoned Spanx, Ozempic’s obvious There will be a divide – a chasm that separates women who yawn or are likely to do so and those who do not. We are already lined up across from each other and ready for discussion.
In the blue corner, Team Skinny Jab and newly crowned champion Nadine Dorries proudly fly the flag of their dramatic weight loss. Dorries was prediabetic, had fat buildup in her liver and high cholesterol levels. The cure for all of this, as my doctor was increasingly urging me to do, was to “lose weight quickly.” She is willing to openly admit that she is a diet drug user, which many people are not, but she believes this is a turning point in a country where weight-related health issues abound. Because I believe in it and there is no stigma against losing weight for health reasons. . The unspoken understanding is that you may not need to get weekly injections just to wear a great red carpet dress.

In the green corner is Ozempic Furiosa. There are plenty of men who have used the skinny jab (Elon Musk, Robbie Williams, Boy George, etc.) and a few who have tried it and talked about quitting it (Jeremy Clarkson, Boris Johnson). Weight debate has a long history dating back to the last century. Only women really care about diets and weight loss periods, what’s good and what’s bad, and only women feel so strongly that both sides get mad at each other.
• I took Ozempic and lost 3 stones. But am I at risk?
The Furiosas are on the side of not intervening, either because they don’t believe in drugs, or rapid weight loss (which is unhealthy and always comes back on), or because the reign of “Loving Myself Skinny” instills fear in them. standing The effects can affect women even later in life and bring them closer to eating disorders. Broadly speaking, their argument is that there is no such thing as a free lunch, that shots this powerful are bad for you, and that there must be some hidden payoff. The key is not to do it for the sake of appearance. Common sense dictates that this is not a drug to be played with.
Or, if we dig a little deeper, is there more to it than just different opinions about weight management and what is reasonable and appropriate? Is there an element of “wait a minute, I’m watching my diet and going to the gym, but if I pay for the jab I’ll go down two dress sizes”? perhaps. Is there an element of “wait a minute, you’re not in your big girl box anymore”? perhaps. “Why do all the women I know now look either bulgy or sunken…and either way they’re following some strange master plan? Do you feel like you’re not yourself anymore?” Do you have any doubts? perhaps.
Or maybe you’re just disappointed to discover (despite the very good excuse that you have high cholesterol) that all women really want after all is a body that looks good in a bodycon dress. I don’t know.
• Mass prescribing of Ozempic could save the NHS – Oxford economist
As Furiosa (as you may have guessed), my position is that it is far better to take Ozempic than to risk your health (of course!). But many of the women who buy this aren’t pre-diabetic, they’re looking for that Kate Moss-like ’90s figure, as skinny as possible, as quickly as possible, and now they can get it faster than ordering a sofa. You can put it in. .com (which is pretty fast). Coincidentally, Kate’s sister Lottie Moss, a slim 26-year-old, recently admitted that she was hospitalized after taking Ozempic and implored people not to follow her example. By no means everyone signing up for the jab in Hollywood is an overweight woman in her late 60s with health problems. Oh, no. They are contemporaries of the 43-year-old actress Amy Schumer, who is much younger and, as she said, “Everyone’s like ‘a little bit.'” Shut up, join Ozempic or whatever. You’re doing it…stop it. Be honest with people. ”
If you want to avoid the Ozempic difference, it’s important to be honest with people. We’ve already had Botox, hair extensions, and boob jobs (“What am I?”), but all we really need right now is transparency. It’s not about cheating, it’s about what you lied or didn’t say. Please tell me that you lost the baby weight so quickly because you had a personal trainer and plastic surgery? Please tell me that the reason your home is so much better is because you paid for a professional to do it. Tell them that this casserole was made by the old man at the deli, that your neck looks new because you had a neck lift, that you are special and that you did everything right while we did everything wrong. Tell them it’s not because you’re doing it. It’s okay if you let me know… However, in Ozempic’s case, I can say that his blood condition was a little bad. That’s helpful.
