As I watched my husband walk up the beach on our winter sun holiday last month, I felt, if I'm being painfully honest, disgusted. With his sizeable belly straining at the waistband of his shorts, his sunburnt man boobs and flabby arms, Daniel Craig sexily wading out of the sea he most definitely was not.

Just the thought of his sweaty, chubby skin on mine, and in public view, was too much to stomach. We weren't always so physically mismatched, and intimacy with the man I love didn't used to be something I avoided like the plague. Both have been unexpected, and upsetting, side-effects of my decision last year to become one of the thousands of women turning to the weight-loss jab Mounjaro.
Oprah Winfrey has spoken openly about using weight-loss drugs to slim down. I've heard of other users developing aversions to fried foods and alcohol, but I never expected to develop one to my own husband. Yet over the past year, as the excess pounds have disappeared from my body, I've found myself increasingly turned off by his chubby frame.
