Underrated quote
Yea... that was something else... amazing really 😂

Ok
I was truly taken aback when she said like. I was like, “Damn. You got me there.” 😂
Deadass
The discomfort thing. Like I’m a freshman at college this year and I know NO ONE at my school as I’m 12 hours away from home. But you know what? By pushing myself out of my comfort zone, I have friends. I worked hard during finals and finished with all As. I joined a club. Like you just gotta do it. It know it’s terrifying. I know you’re scared as fuck. But once you take the leap of faith and trust yourself, you will see amazing growth. Like I still get super anxious all the time, but o also have more confidence saying “maybe I actually am good enough” and I think that’s enough for me. I know the process of changing a mindset is so hard because it’s comfortable staying in a destructive mindset. You know what to expect. With change, comes uncertainty. But to live free, you must embrace uncertainty.
💜💜💜 btw love the Jin pic
oof I don't have friends at college either, and I know I should get out of my comfort zone to get some but I feel too scared :(
Thank you for sharing your growth! I need to follow suit, I moved to a new city and have yet to make any friends or try to. Scared of the awkwardness aka discomfort that comes with meeting people -- but like you said, we just gotta do it. Thank you for inspiring me!
This is really good to hear.
I love this comment!! pushing yourself to put yourself out there and out of your comfort zone is a really hard thing to do, thank you for sharing this!!
Suddenly we all remembered her and got surprised that she hasn't uploaded in two years. Her birthday was a few days ago and she said on her instragram that she has been documenting the last year and is going to post it to finish her glow up diaries:)
Yay!!
Ohh I hope she posts the update!!
She then deleted it and deleted it from her bio too.
@@sofiabruiz17im not even surprised
@@MIMINOSECIt’s not easy. Hope she’s alright. What’s her @
Anyone else revisiting after her recent video? Glad she found her self love
I actually came back to find her hate commenters...nd they were here 😢...m glad she's ok
I am revising as well, I keep telling my self that facing my fears, struggles makes me a tough person.
“You don’t stop when you’re tired, u stop when you’re done.” Someone get that through my thick skull.
You stop when you’re tired so that you can stay healthy, not fall into an obsessive negative relationship when working out, and build strength through recovery. Stop when you can’t do it anymore, don’t push against a certain limit just so that you can “finish” something.
@@Jojo-hy8dm oh this is true, I agree 100%. Rest is important. My problem is I’m the queen of procrastination LOL. I need to force my brain to do work even when I don’t feel like it. But again yessss
@@cherrygadamandla8594 yes rest is important, but you need to discover when you need to rest. If you use rest as an excuse to not push past your limits, changing is going to be something way down the road for you. The whole point of this journey is to really find out how much more you can do. how much more you can achieve. You don't stop when "you can't do it anymore". if that's how somebody's going to think, they need to change their mindset before they change themselves. Is tiredness really how far you can push? Become stronger through every ounce of pain and exhaustion. This is the only way to change💞🖤

did that work? ;>
Not sure why, but seeing someone else, especially just an average person rather than a fitness guru, exercise makes me motivated to exercise. I think it's the mentality of "if they can do it, I can do too"
She is a rich and famous person. That's hardly average.
and you have a huge problem dude
@@reneemore5222 not on her journey here. She wasn't loaded with cash, and she didn't really do anything majorly out of budget except for Steve, but she even gave that up. Fact check before posting.
@@lyramorales2020 lmao. You should look up how Alivia makes and how much atumobile costs. She did use that subscription on top of all the knowledge she gained while working out with him in person. You still wanna believe she is just like us average people? Go right ahead.

UPDATE 15TH APRIL
A message to the viewers so you can better understand me and the delays of this film:
1. I am a creator who just about a month ago healed my toxic patterns with content creation that began in 2018 when I started the glow up diaries.
Last year I announced that I would release a film as the final piece for the glow up diaries. I loved the idea of a final video telling my full story from start to finish. But I had two battles at that time that I was unaware of.
The first battle was that I could not figure out what the message of this film was. I wrote hundreds of pages and it was just a giant mess. I was so frustrated and didn't know why I struggled to see what the message of my film was. I now see that I was not ready to tell my story at that time because I had not discovered many of the solutions to my problems yet. It was like I had only lived through 70% of my story. In order for my story to make sense - I had to have answers and those answers were in the last 25% of my story.
The second battle was my toxic relationship with content creation. I was feeling pressure from viewers and others to release this so I'd give a date. And I'd tell myself that I would somehow make it work and release the film. I thought somehow external pressure would help but it did not. It backfired and only made activated my old toxic pattern of avoidance.
I'm not going to get into the details of this
toxic relationship and why it held me back so much. But what you should know is that I have experienced massive healing with being a TH-camr. Making videos became trauma of it's own for me and it's something I had to overcome. I am deeply sorry for everyone that I have let down. I am sorry that my toxic patterns affected you guys in negative way. Remember the glow up diaries isn't a tv show.
It's my real life and it's a amateur 22 year old girl producing this whole thing. I had no idea going into this how I'd end up on a toxic glow up journey and then having to become aware of my toxic ways, heal from that and then understand my healing so clearly that i can make a film that connects all the broken pieces scattered throughout these last 5 years
I will end with this
1. I am excited to discover my potential as a content creator and what more I can create
and upload in a timely manner now that I have healed
2. Current status update: I am almost halfway through with the film
3. The film won't be 20minutes long. The reason why I considered 20min was because someone whose option I value pointed out a short attention span of people however then I decided that 20min was too short.
It will be 25-30min
Lastly thanks for those who have left comments this past year. It has played a big role in my healing process.
Thank u for the few people who still care about Glow up diares. I've been told by many people online and in my life how I'm irrelevant at this point cuz I haven't posted in 2 years
Ik that but relevancy was never my goal.
My goal was always impact and it comes through high quality content.
I'm glad I waited cuz now I can release a film with answers i believe can change some lives.
@@sonakollarova86662-3 years to make a 30 minute film featuring only her. She needs to reconsider her career choices. She's talented but lacks focus and is unwilling to accept her deep seated issues with food. Always looking for a quick fix. Diet. Hollywood trainer. This is where she ends up every time. Back to square one. Healing isn't glamorous. Healing is slow and painstaking. Healing may not make for good content but she needs it. Until she gets better, this will always be her pattern.
@@aoutsky she keeps yoyoing with her weight and mental health, she needs a good psycologist
@@aoutsky Dang you're so negative
@@GabrielaSanchez-qn9my it's not negative so much as realistic (negative would be saying something she's a failed artist etc.). She has many deep-seated issues surrounding food that have never healed. She found a method to achieve her goals to lose weight, but never truly dealt with what led her to this place. Most eating disorders and mental issues revolving around food take up to 10 years to full recover from (and that's WITH therapy)
I hope this last part involves her speaking to someone, because she would benefit immensely from it.
In case you’re still reading here, I don’t care about a Glow Up Dairies movie, but desperately miss your creative film-making. You are so talented. Hope you are healing and able to rejoin us again in the future. ❤
Agree
She’s done with the editing! The movie will be up soon and then the dating diaries and the rest! I’m very excited
@@yerushalisanne I saw her IG Live! Very exciting. Just hope she’s ok. ❤️
@@misse7095 yes, same here! I hope she can develop / has developed a healthy relationship with editing video’s again :)
Mental Health: Striving to be happy, self-confident, self- awake, and resilient. People who are emotionally healthy are able to cope with life’s challenges and recover from setbacks.
So true!
I agree! Though also I wouldn't say the goal is to be happy - rather accepting your emotions as they are and accepting that sometimes things don't go your way (which leads to more happiness in the end since you're not dwelling on negative emotions)
@Yana R yeaa
@@yana.rya_____ that’s what she said
Hey God loves u all don't forget that

@The Beast Can I know in what way she is harming people so I can be aware of it too?
@@pikymyy4567 Didn't she say she didn't have an ed? But basically shows the signs of having an ed
@The Beast but you dont have too watch it its her diary
@The Beast you’re stupid
If you’re uncomfortable to the point where your body is telling you to stop and take it easy, that’s your turn to listen.
THANK YOU, someone finally said this. Yes it's good to step out of your comfort zone and grow, and most people really need to do that more, BUT if your body is saying no, then no. If you need an occasional break then take it. It is toxic to call that a weakness and beat yourself up for it. Constantly being in pain and in discomfort is not healthy, and not sustainable for most out there, especially long term (which is what we should be striving for, long term healthy lifestyle). The part you should work on is not being outside of your comfort zone purely, it's finding a good balance between being in and out of it.
@@anonymous4244Wheres your vid or book about it? She’s sharing a solution that worked for her. That snapped her out of a cyclic mentality. It has to be drastic to work. Lots of critique and no solutions.
If this never gets to be a Netflix documentary, I’m raging. ✌️😩
This would be the #1 spot.
It didn't. I'M RAGING
Netflix doesn't deserve her tho!!!
She can also do the scripts by herself. This kid must have read a lot, I can feel that.
The Glow Up Diaries was SCRIPTED.
She planned the whole thing. It's just like acting in a series. She was skinny before, got fat, ugly or whatever. Filmed it, edited it and made it somewhat emotional for young girls. There was no glow up. The purpose of this series was not help or inspire people. She did all these just to EARN MONEY. JUST that. Yes it should be on Netflix because it's all acting 🥱. Relatable queen my f o o t. It was just a sad soap opera. Every episode was negative and destructive. It didn't teach anything. It was just "The Struggle Diaries" NOT the "Glow the f up" diaries. The title is misleading. The series is COMPLETELY misleading.
I don’t care what anyone says, the amount of effort she has put in this season is incredible. You are amazing and YOU ARE HELPING SO. MANY. PEOPLE.
LITERALLY
Agree!
everyone agrees that the amount of effort she has put in this season is incredible
Doesn't change the fact that a lot of the things Steve said in ep2 were harmful
@@ThelouwseFD Mhm, and very false. Other than that, amazing season.
@@ThelouwseFD how was It harmful?
This makes me wanna record my own glow up diaries. Not to post anywhere but for my own self to watch my growth. Just me? Ok
I'm literally maintaining a diary for a mental and physical glow up. Go for it!!! The best part is that you won't have to think about other's opinions in your space, it's just YOU.

“That really hurts, that means I’m growing.”
-Alivia D’Andrea, 2021.
bullshit, that will only fuck you up. you can considerate yourself tough, stronger, whatever today but when you have a relapse, it’ll be the worst day of your life. please guys, build a health relationship with your body and mind 🥰❤️🕊
You were kind of on to something, look at her most recent video. Im very proud of her.
@@xxSimpleCxx my english was so bad at that time lmao. anyways, what i meant to say was that in the moment the video was released she felt tougher and mentally stronger but in the moment she relapsed, gain weight or whatever, she would feel like the worst person ever, because she was pushing herself too hard and beating herself up to achieve a goal, her mindset was the least healthy ever to the point it was scary to me. the whole time in the video i was thinking “what the hell does this girl is talking about, things aren’t done that way, she’ll eventually burnout, i can see it coming, nobody should treat themselves like this, that’s such a nonsense”
@@emillyazevedo1669 Yup, ese mindset puede funcionar de vez en cuando para ciertos acontecimientos, como prepararse para un examen importante, pero a la larga es imposible mantenerlo. Y justo la pérdida de peso y un cuerpo sano son una carrera larga, basicamente, todo lo que vas a vivir. Así que conviene tomarselo con calma y no irse a los extremos.
I'm almost in tears, seriously. No one really tells you that you can actually change your set point weight, no one tells you you the friggin' importance of a healthy mindset. Thank you, Alivia, for showing me that there is hope when you believe in yourself.
"I dont care if you don't have a home gym"

There are no problems in life, it’s just a situation waiting for it’s time to fall into place. It’s our mind that makes a problem out of it, because we are resisting and want that situation to fall into place right now. So the key to overcome this is to live in the now, the present. And this is something you have to train, because your mind will always try avoid the now.

@@tinytuzi8167 SAME😭
@@tinytuzi8167 yeah ...it happens with me too
I really wish people could understand that this isn't a step by step guide, it's literally a diary. What worked and didn't work for her, on a delay of over a year! She isn't telling people to go out and train with a celebrity trainer, she is sharing an experience she was lucky to receive. Was she just supposed to leave that part out and let everyone believe that her results came from false sources? Why is her journey suddenly invalid because she is in a place of privilege, which she has never kept secret?
You all were complaining last episode about how the glow up diaries has become just about food but this episode hardly mentioned food or really weight loss at all, and now everyone is mad that she's not addressing all the upset last week, even though it's very likely that these are edited and scheduled in a way that doesn't allow for last minute changes or additions. Not to mention that, whether you like or agree with what she said, she did post a separate video addressing last week so what else was she supposed to do?
I'm not saying that her relationship with food isn't concerning, but while she gives tips and advice based on what does and doesn't work for her never does she say that this is a step by step guide for people to follow and duplicate. She's still very young and when you have such a rough relationship with food like alivia (and I personally do think she struggles with an ed, but I'm not her or her doctor so it's not my place to say with any certainty) you tend to latch on to any kind of program or lifestyle that makes you feel less out of control. She mentioned talking to a specialist in her apology (I think in the video but it may have been the community post?) So I'm hoping that she is getting help from a professional.
Really I just want to know why her struggle is only inspiring when it fits the soft and fluffy narrative of learning to love yourself, but when she shows the very real process, which is not fluffy or soft, and includes a lot of self hatred, misinformation that we've all been fed at one point, and slipping up, suddenly she's a dangerous threat to any children and ed sufferers who may watch her content to trigger themselves (Noah fence but if im gonna trigger myself I'm gonna watch a mukbang compilation or anything from TLC).
You can't praise her for being real and raw with showing her full journey but then get upset and angry when her life doesn't go the way you want it to, as quickly as you want it to. If you want a cut and dry, clearly faked glow up, go watch any of the hundreds that are out there acting like lemon water and waking up at 5am was all it took to completely change their lives and it was the easiest thing in the world. Because clearly the novelty of her realism has worn off for a lot of you.
People are never happy. They have to find something to bitch about. I watched Episode 1 and ordered the book. She is an inspiration and people might just learn something from her.
I totally agree with all you said. I’m GLAD she shows all the hardships and everything that comes with it. Because it reminds me, how deep you may fall just get up and tell yourself you CAN and it WILL get better. I relate to this series so much, and it inspires me so deeply to persevere and find the healthy ways that keep me alive and thriving and make me feel better about myself. So yes exactly, we do met get to pick and choose what parts of her to love. She is out here doing stuff most people would not have the guts for, and she is a queen for being so honest and insightful.
THIS!!!! LOUDER!!!!!!
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Thank you! I totally agree and couldn't have said it better myself!
Hey Alivia...hope you are doing good. Why aren't you posting content anymore?
Yeshh whyyy
Im worried about her
Because she’s already glowed up. She’s at her best
I commented this on another comment but as a Fan since 2019 heres basically what happened:
I think she really didn't gain any weight, but I think that the movie won't be released till 2023. Yes, I don't know Alivia personally, but I remember that the glow up diaries season two should've been released in October '20 (her words) but got postponed and postponed over and over again. I can understand that it takes time to edit and that she's also kinda doing it for free or more, that we can watch it for free, but she always teases the stuff but then never release. It's kinda like a ''here's a nice thing, but wait you'll see it on Feb 31st (a date that doesn't exist)
It's not even hate, just facts. I really like her editing style and I really like her personality, but she's a big procrastinator. Maybe also the hate of the postponement of the GUD 2 made her like this, but I remember that when the season was out she first said ,,It took so long because of editing.'' and at the end she didn't edited all episodes (she said that this was the reason of the postponement, so that she can release all in one) Also she kinda seems to be very much of a procrastinator that can't concentrate on one thing because she's always talking about other stuff.
Then people didn't like the season, so she started all over some months later and ended up deleting it. (I don't blame her, I wanna tell you what happened) so that's why she basically hasn't uploaded anything within this year, because she just deleted all vids.
And as I said she's rn working on the glow up diaries podcast, which I personally really like but shes often like ''About this I'll talk in the movie..'' etc. She even said that the movie could come out in May (not a real announcement, more like a ''Y'all thats kinda when it'll come out.'' but I think it won't be out this year !
She's also planning on the dating diaries, where people on twitter went crazy when she said that she's working on that, but she ended up deleting the tweet.
I think I'm kinda torn into two pieces. On one side I love her videos but on the other side the 24/7 postponing stuff and never releasing makes me go nuts...

“That’s really hurts. That’s means I’m growing.”
That does not mean you’re growing
@@MsGraciie13 yes it does. I saw your other comment and I understand your concern. There should be a balance in how much you work. But you cannot mentally grow stronger if you don’t leave your comfort zone and work HARDER. And working harder does not mean a nice feeling in the process. There will be pain. That’s inevitable. But it shows you are trying and you’re changing. Which equals growth. And eventually the pain will stop, and all you’ll feel is immense pride and happiness. So please stop with the discouragement just because that mentality doesn’t fit your narrative and beliefs.

“You don’t stop when you’re tired,you stop when you’re done”
- David Goggins
True!
This is a nice platitude but sometimes you need to listen to your body. Especially when exercising. Sometimes if you don't listen to your body and push yourself too hard, that's when you get injuries. It's a balancing act.
You need to listen to your body first. Stop when you're tired, rest' then continue. Pushing your body more than it can take isn't healthy.
@@jarjardaze2485 Exactly! Your body will have no energy for building muscle if it's busy repairing injuries all the time. Or just exhausted and conserving energy because you've pushed it too far. If you don't respect your body first and foremost, you won't get positive results.
@@jarjardaze2485 good point!

I couldn't agree more. I haven't felt this motivated to take care of me in a while. Gen/ I look forward to new videos.
"When you're in discomfort, you know you're growing. And that is the only way to be happy. Because progress equals growth, growing is living. Living is happiness." -Alivia
Words to live by.
I’m glad she found something that works for her. Personally, every time I go full out and work out like crazy like that, I spiral as soon as I get discouraged. For me, starting slow has saved me. Doing little things and being proud of those things makes me want to do more. I’m happy and getting stronger every day
Its the exact same for me, our way of improving is also valid :)
Me too. I started off with smaller/shorter workouts and have been slowly working my way up 😊
@@sydneym-y thats amazing, good Job:)
Cos my mental health was all over the f*cking place, I started real small. I found something somewhere on the internet that said "Doing something half-assed is better than not doing it at all". So I started with making a list of each exercise I wanted to do, then I did one of each of these everyday. Then I increased it to two. Then three.
This approach also helped me in many other areas, and if I fall into a slump again, I start from the beginning, and then I gain control over my life again, slowly. Works really well. Hehe.
Same! Its easier for me to stick with it if i do it every day which means i cant go all out or else i'll be too sore the next day to do anything
“You only think you’re a certain way because you have evidence of it. When you step outside of your comfort zone, you are creating a new story about yourself to believe in.” I love this Alivia!!
Thank u :’ )
@@aliviadandrea same!!
It’s the fact that even on her saddest moments .. she tried even harder than her last action it’s amazing how she might be inspiring people! I love you and your channel x
This video really helped me.
1.the mindest thing with "you did it once you can do it again" is something I've never heard before & a huge game changer for me
2.I love how you show how you suffered & cried. Often you see people not struggling at all when doing something like this and that always made me think that I couldn't get to where I want anyway. It's really great to hear & see that it's okay, no that you HAVE to suffer in order to get to the next level.
One key moment that stuck to my brain was how you told yourself that you are going to run up that hill. I was jogging today and wanted to give up but the I remembered that and pushed myself harder.
Really a great motivation & inspiration. Thank you
"You don't stop when you're tired, you stop when you're done." - that hit me haha
Just be careful not to push yourself towards burnout. Take a break if you really need it. :)
Stop only if you think your actual going to hurt yourself. But I'd honestly love that quote on a workout top or something.
That sentence is pretty toxic if not used correctly. Working too much is not what humans were designed to do especially in terms of work
We are all here because we are going through this together. Best of luck to everyone :3
I'm just going to start my glow up and your comment makes me a little bit more confident about this journey!
Thank you
@@annasergeeva6790 ME TOO
You too
Thanks bro
While I appreciate seeing your journey and watching your growth, I do just want to point out that there is documentation/research showing that when your basic needs (enough money to live and not stress over said money, housing) are not met, everything is insanely harder. So, saying that person is actually at an advantage and shouldnt be like "i dont have money" is a bit ignorant bc it is a huge stressor. If youre someone who doesnt have money, please dont think its just because of your mindset. Much love to all of you, and thank you for always sharing
That's true if you have a defeatist victim mindset. People who make it beyond their situations usually see the glass as half full instead of half empty.
@@agathachris9722 Huh, so I guess the billions of people that are living below the poverty line just have defeatist mindsets, I guess.
If you don't have money go work at Mcdonalds. They will take anyone and have great pay for a chain restaurant. You can always do something!
@@alixalir2941 unless you're disabled, have mental health issues, have physical health issues, aren't also studying, aren't pressured by family or partners, have low enough needs that can be paid by an extremely low-paying job etc etc. Everyone knows fastfood jobs exist, but they don't solve everything and just exploit their workers more and more. And they don't pay great in many places. Stuff's more complicated than "just get a job".
Glow up diaries OG and revisit have been the most inspiring and encouraging series I've watched. Seeing you overcome your struggles and fight your sugar demons is empowering.
I still go back and watch them when I need to motivate myself.
Thank you for sharing this part of yourself ❤
the amount of confidence and dedication this girl has is truly inspiring.
"find a way to make it work"
"there is always a way"
"confidence shouldnt be when you look a certain way"
"you are not bound to an identity"
"the past does not equal the future"
the fact that this was only the INTRO
I’m glad to run into her channel as I am going through a depression/ getting back in shape after 2 long years of letting myself go. I’m waiting for her update… I hope she’s doing well ❤
Hey, just watched your new video on how “glowing up” affected you, and I see lots of things in a different light. Sending love ❤️
“ordinary human beings can chose to be extraordinary in their own way”
I can‘t believe that the girl who taught me how to do the splits back in the day is now teaching me how to love my body and work on my mindset
We love seeing the growth !!!
ikr
That's literally a transformation right there! Your such an inspiration, not only to those who are insecured about themselves or mentally drained but also to the people who need motivation to involve in physical activities.
ok but in how to train your dragon they don't beat the dragons, they befriend them. Dragons aren't evil, and neither is your mind. You don't have to beat yourself/ your mind maybe just try being compassionate with yourself.
Love this one
it would make her journey a whole lot easier if she showed self compassion
@@LaylaaaRsh “how she got better”? This was from 2020. It’s been maybe a year. Show me where she is in five years and we’ll talk.
@@seventhsheaven What’s your point ?
Mindblowing thank you
Can we please talk about it that even though she is "falling" multiple times, she stands up over and over again and she is so real in front of the camera (like honestly I wouldn't be able to do that) Alivia please let no one take that from anyone!!!
yessss
I've always been scared of what other people think of me, my image: socially, physically and mentally. But I'm sick of being stuck in this miserable cycle of 'I shouldn't do this thing because what will others think of me' or worse 'I'm expected to do this thing because society tells me I should'. I'm done with pleasing others. The only path to true happiness is if I feel happy with my own actions, my own thoughts and I STOP pandering to others. And these are all within my control!
This is what I needed going into February Alivia, I'm so grateful for you and your videos, they resonate with me so much!
Just remember, whenever you feel like worrying about what others think of you, that you are in control of your reaction to what they think of you. So if they think negative thoughts towards you, or talk down to you, you can’t control what they think or say. But you can control how you react to what they are thinking/saying about you.
I love to look at them with compassion, give them a big smile, and remember that they are human too. Even the ones who judge others make mistakes of their own, and feel self conscious sometimes.
I always come back to this video when I am feeling low. This video gives me strength and hope. It motivates me. It makes me want to continue. I can’t thank you enough for this. When I need a push in the right direction and a mindset change, then I watch this.
She is back
You’re capacity for honesty and vulnerability is amazing and inspiring
*Your
the "because if I'm not a good dancer, i can change and be a good dancer" felt so motivating! I've always loved dancing but i wasn't that good at it. i have been dancing almost every day for the past three years and i have definitely improved A LOT, so for those who think they can't be good at something because at the beginning they weren't, you can do it!!!
Thanks so much for this!
@J W i believe in you! good luck 💖
@@myrandomlife101 there's no need to thank me 🥺 i know sometimes we tend to think that way but that's because we don't trust ourselves enough
i can’t imagine how annoying it was to put all those cameras up for the running montage
no literally i’ve been thinking this since the first season🧍🏽♀️
OMG I was literally thinking the same thing LOLL
ikr lol
Every time I watch any of Alivia’s videos, I instantly go from feeling low and powerless to absolutely unstoppable. Let’s get shit done!
I gotta say this but alivia is really a reason why I change so much in my life, from not doing shit to a mentally tough person who deal with her entire life on her own now, the only glow up I ever see in myself and all because of alivia, still on my way to the path of "who I want to be" and always going to keep progressing no matter what, thanku alivia for giving the ideas for me to adpat this drastic change in my life 💓
2021 IS OUR YEAR EVERYONE KEEP GOING THIS TIME WE ARE NOT GIVING UP!!
@thank u em very cool let’s get it queen 👑
Yesss
Lemme give you a virtual hug! Thank you, a stanger on the internet, for believing in me
Yes queen!
Thanks! This is such a mace reminder!
"coronavirus... so i'm not touching"
omg this is me the whole time whenever i'm going outside
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hi moomoo ✨🥺
@@apolline9910 omg u a moomoo too? omg hiii c:
@@wtfoji yesss!!! it's the first time i saw one under a video like this lol😭
I watched this while trying to run 2 miles without stopping, and I’ve tried to do it many times in the past and I never could do it, but this time I watched this video and so many times I wanted to give up but you kept saying such wonderful words that helped me not give up and I ended up running those full 2 miles without breaking. Your doing wonderful things and you inspire me everyday, thank you :) 💜
I have NEVER related to someone I don't know this much. Thanks for all of your videos - the vulnerabilities, the realities, the truths that are hard to swallow. It's super inspiring!!!
As someone who worked their ass of working 2 part-time jobs and going to university I can say that pushing yourself is nice and all but listen to your body or else you might spend a year in the hospital recovering from stress related issues.
No fun, trust me.
facts
Absolutely- that is how burnout and chronic fatigue happens and it is not fun!! Definitely important to keep fit and healthy, but equally important to listen to your body
U have to listen to your body, but not keeping in a comfort zone forever. u know what I mean? Always be careful with what you're doing but push to the limit.
Sorry if I say something wrong english is not my birth language 👉🏽👈🏽
Yeah I‘m gonna be discussing this in therapy 😂🙈
Thanks for this comment! Need it for before I make the decision to do the same
Okay I'm shocked ? I didn't expect it to come out this quickly
Yeah same!
Think it’s prob due to too many hate comments and ppl criticising when it hasn’t even fully been released
I’m so happyn
@@LivingAsTasha yeah I was thinking the same thing too.
@@LivingAsTasha yup
I hope you're well. I use to use one of your ab workouts several years ago... in 2018 stumbled onto your vids. I know you've had some ups and downs but you've inspired so many people. Keep rising.
Hey Alivia, I actually stumbled upon this series a couple days ago. I’m actually surpised that I haven’t seen this until just now, but this is what I needed to hear. I’ve been wanting to loose weight for so long, to look pretty and be happy with my body. But with what lessons and tips you’ve given me, I realize I should be working out to feel better, not to punish my body for looking a way I don’t want it to look. I have sense started working out, with a better mind set and goal, it’s only day 3 sure but I’ve never felt more motivated. I’ve been playing your videos in the background as I work out, so whenever I feel like backing out, your inspiration pushes me to move forward.
Thank you!
GLOW UP DAIRES SHOULD BE A NETFLIX MOVIE OR SERIES PERIOD.
No
Yesssss
Why?
Can people stop saying this its so annoying
Yesssss
Alivia makes me feel a thing she makes me feel proud of myself and she makes me feel empowered .
She's the source of my confidence .
she's such a role model .
she shows how even the toughest person can sometimes break down , it might take a break , or a cry but a tough person always gets back up and starts their journey again . so hey if anyone is reading this just remember you're tougher than your problems.
same feeling here!
❤️❤️
She is so brave for uploading such a personal series. Thank you Alivia
Thank you so much, this is honestly amazing. I have watched this video so many times because I feel so pumped up every time I do and it inspires me in so many ways. Every time you're having a hard time, every day you say you felt terrible, please know that there are literally thousands of people who you are helping in a really important way: YOU are the positive voice in my head, telling me I can do it.
“You can’t hurt me.”
Just started reading can’t hurt me.
how is it so far
How is it
Same girl✌
@Caro Falsett thank you!
a masterpiece 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👏
Omggggg!
oh my hi!
Helloooo! Love your videos ♥
Omg it’s official she has made it I thought she was amazing before this but now no one can change my mind the queen 👸 has spoken.
Your videos have been the most raw and relatable videos I've ever come across. I feel like I'm listening to every single one of my struggles and negative thoughts!! This gives me hope that one day I too will figure this out. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone.
Thank you for making a series on this. As a 13 year old i have went through things that not even an adult should go through, that no one should go through. I realized what was right and what was wrong with ME after these series and I'm so happy to finally know my self worth. Thank you for inspiring me to make my own strong journey and be stronger than ever. I cannot thank you enough for the help. Keep on inspiring people and live with your head up high!!
i really like this video's message much more than the last one! Like many others, I was really worried where the series was heading but I somehow knew that this episode was going to go more into the mental side of things rather than just the aesthetics. Even though I know she put so much more cinematographically speaking into the previous video, I much prefer this style - it's just so much more "unapologetically Alivia"
I think the mental glow up is what a lot of us have followed the Glow Up Series for, a body “glow up” is just a wonderful side effect of building a healthy relationship with food, exercise, yourself, your body, etc ❤️❤️❤️
Agree! Glowing up needs to start from within.
I came for the desire to change my body, even though it does not need to change.
I stayed for the mental glow up, as I find that more important than the physical one.
I agree with this comment!
she is such a raw person. I relate to her in every way. I love you
Girl! This was much needed for me, a person going through binge episodes literally every single day at every single meal since past three four months....i am trying to tell my family about the problem but they laugh at me....I was feeling so low....well, I will stop feel sympathetic....I will work on myself, for myself...that's it...much power and love and blessings to you ❤
Honestly, she's one of the realest person I follow. She's transparent. Unlike other youtubers who shows us the image they want to portray. She's so inspiring and I'm loving her!
YES completely agree! love seeing other youtubers who make their videos v raw & genuine
@@sophiayuna yas girl! We stan genuine! ❤
You know how I know that even in her lowest moments she still had hope she was gonna achieve her body/mind goals? Because she kept filming, If she lost hope she would have stoped, but she knew that one day she WILL use all of this footage because she WILL achieve her goals and be able to make this series. It's awesome to see how much hope and will she had even in her darkest moments when it seemed like it was gone. proud of her :)
Luv and luve :)
These video's are honestly changing my life and helping me overcome my sugar addiction. I never admitted that I had a problem with sugar, but after seeing your vulnerability and your struggle....I admitted it out loud to my husband and it felt so freeing.
Aw 💜💜 doing well now?
Hun life’s a roller coaster,happiness isn’t just acceptance and being the fitness version of yourself but the thoughts and way we think and feel and actions and wellness can help us with that, there is no end it’s a life long journey,and we’re all on this path together.
you gave me hope around two years ago I found your glow up series and you thought me to become mentally strong,I listern to your videos when I need motivation and lack self confidence or need a voice to push me to not lay in bed in my own thoughts, I think your very strong mentally and I hope this message finds you but thank you so much for being there for me and helping me break out of my depression and find hope when I struggled to just twitch my hands and get up, you helped me find the power of growth and how to change my bad thoughts to happy thoughts from motivation and hope xxx
“Tough people are not built in easy situations.” 🥺 🙌
While it’s important to push yourself to build discipline, you have to listen to your body during fitness otherwise you will end up with an injury. I started running and with this same mindset ended up messing my foot up so bad I now can’t run for 3 months and have $400 of physio bills. It’s not so bad because I’m in Canada, but I can only imagine how expensive X-rays, physio, and medication would be if I lived in the US. Just be careful and if something hurts it’s better to stop and continue another day.
Same, except knee pain. And since I live in the U.S., my ten-minute chat with the orthopedist cost ~$350 (before insurance, $200+ deductible).
yes very important! push your body but always exercise intuitively- especially as a beginner! xx
same. i ran for like an hour off the bat on like 10 speed for 3 weeks and then couldn’t run for months cause of injury and i’m literally scared now🥲
Yeah, I feel like she’s really encouraging people to ignore their body. It’s not bad to stop, if that is what your body is telling you, because it’s on your side most of the time. When she ran up the hill and was so tired and then did it again, I was so worried.
@@gcool6707 Exactly. Pushing your limits is good, and I like the "push past your 40%" mentality. But pushing yourself until you puke or are in pain (and not just sore) can be harmful. "Pain is just weakness leaving your body" ... no, that's discomfort. Pain, actual pain, is a warning. To quote an article:
"'Nausea is a warning sign,' says Anthony Wall, director of professional education at the American Council on Exercise. 'There are a few things that can cause nausea during a workout. One is a full stomach, which isn’t much of a cause for worry. Another is dehydration, when an imbalance of the body’s electrolytes can cause vomiting. [...] The risk for vomiting from extreme exercise, specifically, comes from working so intensely that the body can’t get enough oxygen to fuel its muscles, leading to a build-up of the waste product lactate. [...] Nausea can also, in rarer cases, be a symptom of rhabdomyolysis-in which damaged muscles break down, and their protein enters the bloodstream."
So if the goal is to be healthy, then doing something that potentially damages your body isn't something to wear like a badge of pride. And to quote a different article, "No one wants to walk through (or smell) your rancid vomit." That being said, I'm all for healthy ways of pushing our limits.
Thank you for your strength and kindness in sharing that strength with others. It means more than you know.
this video made my day. sometimes I feel low, demotivated, exhausted... but the important thing is to always get up and start again.. I am still in my journey and this video just motivated me way too much. thank you so much
For those who need this: Discomfort isn't ALWAYS a method of growth. If your friends, SO, or anything close to you make you feel uncomfortable that is not okay. That isn't a method of growth. That is a crappy support circle. If you're in constant pain after working out or eating stuff, remember to check if it's your form causing the pain (or maybe an allergy if it's food based).
Doing thinks you find hard can help you grow as a person, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a comfort zone and making people respect it. Maybe the hard thing is to stop saying it's 'okay' when it isn't.
(I know that's not what Alivia is saying in the video, but I just wanted to put that out here bc I know me 5 years ago probably needed to hear it)
Thank you for this
Yes. Context is everything
I found this comment
I'm an only child, sensitive, anxiety since kindergarten - I've lived my life to avoid everything that could be uncomfortable for me. The gym changed me and together with a therapist I could realize how much I was setting myself back in life. I want so many things, and for the first time, I can actually go out there to do them. Recognize the patterns that are setting yourself back.
That's so great ! Proud of you 💙
YES! Same
I was a super sensitive kid growing up as well and didn’t participate in sports or anything physical. Always weak and meek. When I got to college I started running and lifting and those made me more confident in other aspects of my life as well. Exercise does wonders for the mind. :)
@@geilmerana4837 absolutely! I started working out my last year of high school so I went into university with a new mindset and newly gained confidence. We owe it to ourself to live life to the fullest. Okay, a pandemic is making that a bit harder, but taking down all the mental barriers is so freeing!
I'm an only child too and relate, well done for your growth!💜
Since I was in 7th grade I been struggling with body dysmorphia and unhealthy eating habits I’m now 18 still struggling with the same problems but now I can’t even look in the mirror it’s like a fear . Don’t go out because I don’t think I deserve it etc . I hope these videos help me learn how to better myself physically and mentally :)
Go watch her last video first...listen to what she said
I've been watching her for years and i LOVEEEE her!!! She helps me get my life together.
“Coronavirus, so i’m not touching” Lol
As she should 😌
