6 d. ago ‘The thought of not being thin for my wedding makes me want to die’: the new mothers driven to weight

The NHS warns against using GLP-1s while breastfeeding – for the baby’s sake as well as the mother’s. But how much does that count when they’re so readily available and there’s so much pressure to ‘bounce back’?Lydia* first started thinking about weight-loss drugs during pregnancy. “Everyone was talking about them and the advertisements were everywhere,” she says, as her baby son naps upstairs. “I remember thinking: ‘That’s how I’ll lose weight for my wedding next year.’”When Lydia explains that most of her life before pregnancy was spent in a welter of yo-yo dieting and body dissatisfaction, I say to her that I think most of us can relate.

8 d. ago I fell at the top of a mountain – and knew I had to haul my broken body down or die in the snow

While navigating a steep trail, Jean Muenchrath lost her grip. She was horrifically injured, with a broken spine, shattered tailbone, pubic bone and hip fractures, internal bleeding, a head wound and one on her buttock that turned gangrenous. There was no choice but to get home ...As Jean Muenchrath stood at the summit of Mount Whitney, a storm thundered in. It was May 1982, and here, at the highest point of the contiguous US, she and her boyfriend Ken were coming to the end of a month-long ski and hike, 223 miles along the John Muir Trail, through the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California.The trip had been gruelling at times – equipment had broken and they had been threatened by bears and avalanches.

As he conducts the symphony of applause for his peace deal, the key to understanding him is this: he’s not a politician, not even close – he’s a starThat old line that “politics is showbiz for ugly people” is so good it should be true, but it isn’t really. Politics has always been politics, and showbiz is something different. Not, however, in the unique case of Donald Trump. The current US president is best understood as a pomp-era megastar. Extraordinary, really, that Trump never even needed to get into cocaine. I think when he dies scientists will discover that his body naturally produced coke as a byproduct of digesting overcooked hamburgers.Everything he says or does is redolent not of a politician, but an ego-driven entertainment industry behemoth.
