Does drinking alcohol make you fat? New video with before and after photos below.
It wasn’t until I quit drinking that I realised how much my weight had crept up on me from all those years of boozing. My belly looked like I was carrying a spare tyre around it, but I hadn’t paid attention over the years, I was far too busy being obsessed by my wine addiction.
But I didn’t quit drinking to lose weight, I don’t think many people make the decision for that reason.
My main reason for becoming alcohol-free was because I had realised alcohol had power over me and I was putting it in front of all the important things in my life, including my son, my wife, my career and my health.
But wanting to know if we will lose a few kilos when we quit drinking is a common question that I am asked on a regular basis.
Watch the video below so you can see what happened to my body after I quit and find out more about alcohol and weight loss.
Warning – the video below includes some before and after pictures of me in my underwear, feel free to look away at this point!

Losing weight is another gift that comes from an alcohol-free lifestyle, but it can take a bit of time to see any difference. Weigh yourself at the start and monitor the scales as you go forward, but don’t get hung up on it.
'Your windshield is bigger than your rearview for a reason; the mirror is there to help you glance back at where you’ve been, but if you focus too much on it, you’re going to crash.
We are ALL affected by our past and we are ALL reminded of it now and again, but we cannot live in it unless we want to repeat it over and over again. We need to learn from it, take lessons from it, know what’s good (and not good) for us, and adjust accordingly. Mistakes are only mistakes until we learn from them and then they become lessons.'
Love this from the Your Tango blog, it sums up the need for a forward focused growth mindset in sobriety and life in general.
Having an amazing time in #Japan and managed to head south out of Tokyo for a few days today to Kamakura by the ocean.
The drinking culture here is totally different to the UK, but all the bars are full, not many AF options either, but I wouldn’t want to visit such an amazing place and spoil it by boozing.
These two inspiring books from leading sobriety coach Simon Chapple are out today!
