It's a shame they deleted the post that revealed the op's actual motives. I missed it and lost the context

Basically she just attacked larger people in a hateful manner.

They are being traded online .

That is not a prescriber issue though, is it?

Sounds like a scam. Your BMI is in the "normal" range.

Actually for some ethnicities a bmi of 23 is overweight

Ozgirl76 · 11/03/2026 22:08

It never takes long for the “concern” to show its true colours - simple envy that they aren’t all that slim. And if they can’t be slim they can’t stand that other people are. How sad.

FreshInks · 11/03/2026 22:05

I suspect OP has a very unhappy life

Bearzo · 11/03/2026 22:04

I think op knows perfectly well that 'skinny jabs' posts are well responded to, and often cause controversy, she sounds unwell and is looking for easy attention, and quite frankly is getting it.

Aaaaand, there it is. I mean, your mask was pretty pathetic and unbelievable from the start but it didn't really take that long to slip.

"Journalist" 🤣

PigletJohn · 11/03/2026 21:52

I wonder if this will appear as clickbait on one of the Rage sites.

"You'll be amazed at what someone wrote on page 49!"

SilenceInside · 11/03/2026 21:51

Such a super odd thing to do, to spend the best part of £300 to somehow “prove a point” to random people on the internet, or to write some sort of self published online report about it, for no audience.

And as we can now see from the OPs latest post, it’s just badly disguised hate and disgust aimed towards obese people.

Ah now we see what the real issue is. Why are you so bitter?

The funny thing is that I don’t use WLI’s but I’m really glad people have access to them.

And there it is, better get on that treadmill hun, just until you finish writing your big expose of course, I’m sure you’ll have the whole industry shut down with that and then you can stop hating yourself.

You are incredibly nasty op.

Bollixtothat · 11/03/2026 21:48

Do you work for Slimming world or Weight watchers op ?

Are you really concerned about these seemingly ‘ lazy ‘ women or are you annoyed because you feel you work hard to maintain your looks? You are obviously quite vain if you’ve already resorted to Botox? Perhaps those who can’t afford Botox should campaign to get it banned for aesthetic purposes.

Summerbay23 · 11/03/2026 21:47

Enyastar · 11/03/2026 21:33

Its a totally different thing. There is no point in arguing, botox does not cause a BMI drop to cause anorexia and ultimately fatal heart attacks and worse.
If someone is 6 stone and injecting this ...well.
Thsnkfully the regulators are opening their eyes.
Hopefully they will increase dramatically in price to stop this.

Agree, there is no point arguing with stupidity (and that is you OP), it will still be prescribed legitimately for people that need/benefit from it and that is what is important.

PigletJohn · 11/03/2026 21:47

Ozgirl76 · 11/03/2026 21:37

That’s not how it works. All that will happen is that prescribing will be tightened, which is the correct response. Why would increasing the price help?

Enya claims to have paid an exorbitant price for her "starter" script.

If true, it doesn't seem to have put off the customers of her mystery supplier.

You think? Because I’m only seeing prescription rules getting more relaxed, the data is not showing the cause for concern you are bleating on about.

I think you’re just one of those chippy slightly chubby people annoyed at people getting slimmer than you, you want there to be lots of fat people so you can feel better about yourself, I don’t think you actually care about the so called (rare) side effects.

I really think you are spot on with this.

Botox used incorrectly can cause botulism leading to difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, and breathing difficulties requiring respiratory support. So, by your logic, Botox should be banned

Zov · 11/03/2026 21:39

Bollixtothat · 11/03/2026 21:36

You want millions of people to suffer with the affects of obesity because some anorexic women will buy the injections illegally ?

That's exactly what she wants.

Zov · 11/03/2026 21:38

FreshInks · 11/03/2026 21:28

There have been a fair few instances of botulism poisoning recorded in England, therefore I think we should ban Botox.

And I got a bad dose of the runs one morning after consuming an entire 180gm bar of Cadbury's Caramel to myself, therefore I think we should ban chocolate.

I agree - maybe the OP used to be the thinnest in her friend group and now she isn’t.
