Quit Alcohol Lose Weight - Ellen's Sober Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Quit Alcohol to Lose Weight - This was the main reason that Ellen decided to quit drinking, closely followed by her strong desire to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, but she didn't realise how many other things would change when she became sober.
Her journey from being a regular drinking to sobriety was unusual, she didn't read any 'quit lit' or joining any stop drinking programmes, instead, she decided she wanted to lose weight and get healthy and then made the decision not to drink again.
As she moved into an alcohol-free life she began to explore sober communities, books, blogs and podcasts and says that she quit drinking the wrong way around. But thankfully, she never looked back and is confident she will never drink alcohol again.
Ellen's story is inspiring, she is a busy mum with three children and talks openly in this video about the damage that alcohol caused and how much better her life has been since she quit drinking.
And did she lose weight? You will have to watch the video to find out!

It seems like every TV show has people drinking alcohol. Even the morning shows show the hosts mixing drinks with their guests! The media constantly tries to glamourize drinking!
100% agree, Cody! It is everywhere. If not being pushed on TV programmes, then every other advert seems to be alcohol themed and something needs to be done to control it.
Someone told me about the morning show and I didn't believe it till I saw it myself. Another pet peeve: all the novelty "gifts" about moms who drink wine. Not funny, people.
I gave up alcohol for 5 years, eating better and quickly lost 25 lbs. Started again for 8 months. Slowly gained 10lb but I really love drinking and it's hard to give up.
I lose weight VERY easily when I don't drink. (On top of all the anxiety, I have an eating disorder/body dysmorphia too.) When I don't drink I lose my appetite, and deduct all those wine calories and the weight falls off quickly. (I'm not heavy by any measure, just very hard on myself - a perfectionist-type.)
So sorry to read about your eating disorder. Have you been able to find any additional support with this?
@@besober I used to. I'm in a situation right now where I have zero support and I'm struggling. The eating disorder is manageable when the drinking/anxiety is managed. The two are closely related. These are longstanding issues with me.
@@maarten7 I have a similar struggle. I am trying to find a way to give myself the support I need. We've got this!
I love this chat - I really identify with Ellen's approach and wish I had done all this when I was her age. Congrats Ellen! I love the shift from 'I can't drink' to 'I don't' - that's how I think about it for sure! Love your channel and videos Simon!
Thank you so much! So pleased you love the videos, comments like yours make it all worthwhile. Simon
Ellen thank you for sharing
Hi Cyndi - she did so well sharing her story, I am sure it will inspire other people - Simon.
Love your podcasts
That is a good plan for me, this is who I want to be now! and one day, one week, month at a time. Insead of the rigid, restrictive "I'm not drinking, or for 30 days..that is where im at now , at 40--I cant out exercise the alcohol anymore :( . I stopped drinking for two weeks, and I've already lost weight. :D just have to reprogram my thoughts on it. Thanks for sharing..

Hey Ellen lovely story.
Hi Libby, it really is wonderful - Simon
yep all sounds true. I need to improve my own habits.
The skinniest I’ve been in my life I’ve noticed I’ve barely drunk. I drink excessively over the weekend hard liquor. I’m going try this out because I’ve already lost weight but the last 25 pounds I want to loose won’t come tf off😂😂
Same😂
How’s it going? X
@@harrieteva I actually lost more weight lols. Ngl I decided to drink on Fridays then on Saturday I just will have maybe one wine or margarita😂
I've got Diastasis Recti Abdominis after being pregnant 22 yrs ago, so I still look preggers at 59 🤣, I know the last few years of drinking and my bad posture into gear have caused my DR and yes I have the exercises
I need to do the exercises but afterwards it hurts so now I'm giving up drinking, Rome wasn't built in a day so it's a long haul. Sober days would be good as would a lesser beer belly

@@besober I'm starting my sober journey today 😳, I had 2 bottles of wine last night, thought stupidly to indulge one last time. I feel tired and rough today + headache. I have to do this
@@besober Hi Simon, ive ordered the blue book today and am wondering if I should just read it and watch the videos I'm getting stressed with all the email and password stuff, I can't handle anything at mo 😕
Mine is very quiet as well ;) nobody seems to notice so thats cool 😂
You can talk live to me if you like, I've got a story to tell, if I can hold myself together throughout 🙄
Did I miss Ellen speak about her weight loss?
So not sky diving 🤣
😂
