The sneaky way 'It' girls and Pilates mums are getting Ozempic WITHOUT seeing a doctor... but my horror story of what happened next will put you off weight-loss jabs for life

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've had a couple of run-ins with Ozempic over the past few months. My first encounter happened in the lead-up to my 40th birthday party. Overexcited about the big, boozy bash I was hosting, I decided on a theme: Saucy Secrets. (I know, so on brand). I envisioned everyone rocking their sexiest, skimpiest outfits, leaning into the chaos of the night.

What I hadn't considered was that I, too, would have to wear something sexy and skimpy. Cue panic. After a glorious winter of carb-heavy stews, calorie-loaded red wines, and the occasional late-night chocolate binge, my body wasn't quite PVC-dress ready. Crap.

Desperate to shred some weight fast, I turned to a friend who had 'stumbled upon' some Ozempic. Fuelled by Dutch courage after a few wines, we decided to inject each other with it. But there was an issue: the dose we had wasn't tailored for us. It was prescribed to someone much heavier, and at 1mg, it was way too high. Giggling in a toilet cubicle like schoolgirls sneaking a cigarette, we madly googled for solutions.
Turns out, you can't lower the dose. It's not like splitting a pill. So, mercifully, common sense prevailed and, instead of injecting ourselves, we chucked out the black market Ozempic and hit the gym like maniacs in the weeks leading up to my party. Jana Hocking was tempted by dodgy Ozempic in the lead-up to her 40th birthday. Luckily, she gave up on the idea when she realised the dose she had procured was dangerously high and decided to hit the gym instead. (Jana, right, is pictured arriving at her party with her friend Hollie Nasser. Neither woman has used weight-loss drugs or illegally obtained a prescription).
