Slim chance I'll give this latest discovery a try

I used to be that most of the mams I knew went to slimming clubs.
Chit-chat in the school pick-up line would be about how many points or syns they were going to allow themselves that day.
But not now. Oh no, times they are a changin'.
Instead of just talking about losing weight? Everyone is just doing it.
And it’s a weird old sight to see.
A solid 50% of the school gate mammas have lost stones upon stones in weight.
Because, as soon as Christmas was out of the way, and New Year 2025 was upon us, most of them started on the fat jabs.
You know the ones. Lots of different brand names, but they all do the same work.
All you need do is inject yourself once a week and let Big Pharma do the rest.
I’m not for the fat jabs, nor am I against them.
Which I guess leaves me adjacent to them, technically.
