A woman who divorced her husband after losing 10 stone using weight loss jabs has revealed that her once “boring” bedroom life has turned into her becoming a “fireball”.
When Natalie Strange, 37, first met her husband, she thought he would be the man she would spend the rest of her life with.
But, after losing 10 stone with the help of “skinny” jabs, she’s now back on the dating scene with a huge boost in self-esteem.

Natalie, from Norwich, credits Mounjaro as a “saving grace” in getting her life back and finding the confidence she thought was long gone.
As a stay-at-home mum-of-three, Natalie found herself becoming a “shell” of her former self, and turned to food – racking up £250 a month on her takeaway “addiction”.
It saw her weight shoot up to 19 stone, and she wore a UK dress size 22 at her heaviest.
“I had lost my self-worth and felt like I no longer had a purpose,” she told Need To Know.
“After having kids, I lost my confidence and just ended up going with the flow.
“Each day was monotonous and boring.
“I lost sight of who I was.
“It didn’t help that we had lost the spark between us, with time in the bedroom next-to-never.”
In March 2024, she decided to try the weight loss medication, and was thrilled to lose 10 stone, dropping down to a svelte size 10.
With newfound confidence, Natalie realised that – despite trying couple’s therapy – her relationship of 18 years wasn’t working.
She said: “I had always gone into marriage thinking I’d be with that person forever.
“For me, divorce was off the table.
“So there’s that element of feeling like I’ve failed.
“And I do have that doubt of ruining my kids’ lives – though they love having two Christmases, two holidays; basically two of everything.
“Sometimes, I do wonder if I made a rash decision, but then we spend time together and I realise that isn’t the case at all.”
While she’s still going through divorce proceedings, that hasn’t stopped Natalie from getting back out there.
She added: “I’ve joined dating apps.
“When I joined, at first, I had really low expectations of anybody being interested in a single mum-of-three.
“But, without blowing my own horn, I was inundated with men that wanted to talk to me.
“It was a huge eye opener and such an ego boost.
“I went out with my friends for my birthday and let’s just say I’ve acted single on nights out ever since then.
“I feel great and so proud of myself for walking away from something that was no longer serving me.
“I’ve found myself again and that sense of adventure I was hungry for.
“The jabs have changed my life.
“I’d have never had the confidence and bravery to step out on my own without them.
“Using them has given me the validation I was searching for.
“Now, the world is a kinder place and I’m living the life I once dreamed of – happy and free.”
