Desperate Woman Lies to Get Weight Loss Injections, Suffers Horrifying Side Effects

In November 2025, Nichola White, a 38-year-old childcare worker from Rhyl, North Wales, has been lying about her weight for the past 7 months to get access to weight loss injections. Normally known for her honesty, Nichola admits that she has been adding 2 stone to her actual weight and using old photos to qualify for the 'miracle' drugs like Mounjaro.

Nichola has struggled with her weight and body image for the past 15 years, trying various diets and slimming clubs without success. During the COVID-19 lockdown, her weight crept up to 13 stone 10 pounds, and she decided to try the weight loss injections. Though the injections helped her lose weight initially, she suffered from severe side effects like vomiting, nausea, constipation, and jumpy legs.

Despite the side effects, Nichola continues to lie about her weight to maintain her prescription, as she believes the injections are the only way she can lose weight. She is not alone in this deception, as celebrities like Lottie Moss and Danielle Mason have also admitted to fibbing to access these weight loss drugs.

Experts warn that using these medications outside of the recommended guidelines could put one's health at risk, and they should be used as a temporary 'scaffolding' to support lifestyle changes for long-term weight management. Nichola acknowledges that her actions are wrong, but she feels desperate and believes the ends justify the means.
