For a long time, I didn’t think alcohol was that big of a deal. I was working out. I was hitting my macros. I was “balanced.” But I started noticing something… my progress looked very different depending on whether I was drinking or not. In this episode, I’m sharing why I chose to give up alcohol now AFTER my weight loss journey and how it’s officially been 8 months. I break down the 6 ways alcohol can slow fat loss, how much I actually drank during my 120 lb weight loss journey, and the honest comparison between my results when I was drinking vs. when I wasn’t. This episode isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness on how this one simple thing can make the biggest difference in your overall results. If you feel stuck in your progress, this might be the conversation you didn’t know you needed and the steps you might want to try out. If this episode hit, don’t forget to follow, rate, and share it on your socials 🫶🏼 It truly blesses me more than you know and helps me keep this space going. I’m so grateful you’re here while this podcast grows. ---------------------------------------- ✨ LET ME BE YOUR COACH www.getfitwithmer.com ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_ www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_ ➡️ Subscribe to my YouTube: www.youtube.com/thewholeheartedjourney
