★ WATCH ALL OF THE GLOW UP DIARIES: bit.ly/37O0bX6 ABOUT: This is a 6 year docu-series of my coming of age story. I originally thought I would end this series after a few months but ugly truths unraveled as I went further into my glow up journey. I began recording the glow up diaries at 17 years old and finished when I turned 22 years old.
All of the little snipits of ur glow up diary is RLLY motivating! 😁 I'm going to make one soon, since I don't have piles of hw. U have been such a huge inspiration to me Alivia! TYSM 😁
9:15 when she said she didn’t want to reveal her weight so that other people won’t compare their weight to hers, i literally was so surprised as i was going to do exactly that. i wanted to compare my weight to hers so that i can feel bad about myself. Alivia, i hope you realise how many people you are helping. THANK YOU.
I guess it’s just the way you perceive yourself and how others perceive yourself, like someone getting a new haircut and they hate it but everyone around them thinks it suits them you know
Things i have learned from Alivia that have changed my life 1) Never say I can't do/have it, instead say I don't do/have it 2)Think of something that makes you happy and start your task as it tricks your brain into thinking that the tasks makes you happy 3) When having negative thoughts say "this is my animal brain speaking" 4)When your brain keeps on bringing the reasons to not do a specific tasks say "'1 2 3 GO!!"and start it. 5) Always stay positive and kind to yourself 6)Do what makes you happy 7)Don't think about the results,fall in love with the process 8)It's not "weight loss weight loss weight loss" , its "healthy healthy healthy" 9)There should be balanced relationship with food 10)One cookie will not make you fat Thank you so so much Alivia !!!!❤❤❤
Same, but life is a life long journey and there will probably never be a point when you figured everything out perfectly. So for me at least, the story won‘t be over, it‘s just the end of a darker chapter.
I remember somebody saying something like “you are the main character of your life. I mean its your life, your show, you are the cast director. If you don’t think that you’re the main character, it’s because you don’t give your self enough love and appreciation you deserve not because ‘you are not good enough to be the main character’.”
That was the period I realized that I no longer wanted to be with my fiancé and I wasn’t able to have the future we planned together...it was DEVASTATING to realize this, and I gained 40 pounds, lost every single one of my friends, failed all of my classes and lost all passion for everything and everyone. Then, had to move back into my family’s house which was humiliating. Just..ugh.
This period was literally one of the most testing times ever! My husband, my daughter and I were all really sick and also broke, literally no income lving with family etc... much better place now
When Alivia was crying, I noticed a tear come down my face. She has made my emotions that were bottled inside me, come alive. I actually felt like her words spoke to me after a long journey of trying to be kinder to myself. Thank you Alivia for making us feel that we're not alone on this journey of self discovery. You made me apart of your journey and for that I am forever grateful. Please like this so she can see this comment. I really want her to know that she makes a difference in the world. P.S. to everyone who is reading this, I believe in you. You can do it, you can get over your demons. You will find yourself again. Much love.
I feel the same way. Up until this year I have been scared of journaling because it always ended up being all of these negative thoughts against myself. I've recently started a self improvement journal but I'm procrastinating on that too
@@aliviadandrea I love the family you have started. You have brought people together, the people who feel most alone in these dark places. Thank you Ms. Fircelivy, you are my girl and I love you so much!😊❤
Same for me! I could really relate since i kinda am on a weightloss journey. And i did lose weight and i became so proud and my realtionship with food was really good (this was for a week...) then i started binging again :(( But now instead of starting over the weightloss and diet again for like the 1000 time i am starting to practise self love and stuff. Because i am so tired of feeling how i feel atm. This video and series made me realise i'm not alone in feeling like this, with food and weight. My dad always comment on my weight when he see me eat something or even binge and he just says: stop eating so much and you will lose weight... it's not that easy! TT He have never had problem with weight in the way i have so...
It’s so weird how even though when you binge you think like “i am the ONLY one that experiences this why is everyone else normal?” And then you see something like this and get this sort of comfort like you are not the only one and how similar it actually is to your situation;the habits,thoughts everything.Just gives me more hope that i will succeed to recover :)
I have similar problems too, but I'm very shocked about that so many young people already deal with that type of problems, I don't think that's a good sign about our society
me too, 16yo without any friends, like- all of the ppl i know it just in this state of 'acquintance' bcs of my social anxiety😔 glad i found this comment and realize im not alone, thx !! 🥺
Owh -chan I’ve had social anxiety and I know how crippling and sad it can make someone feel. I’ll pray for you ❤️Stay strong you won’t feel like dis forever and trust me and pray to God it’s been 5 years since I’ve had social anxiety 🙏🏾
I love how she blocked out the parts where she says what her weight is so no one compares their weight to hers I was honestly waiting to compare my weight and when she did that It kinda made me think on how negative I look at myself so thank you so much for that little edit ❤
I'm 13 and my parents always buy food and think I undereat while the reality is on September 2019 I decided to lose weight cuz I was 89 kgs and my age was just 12..😔I ended up losing 14 kgs in a very unhealthy way ....and then my mindset is still like this idk why but ...I always think if I have a piece of junk food that day is spoilt and I eat more junk and...this pandemic just made it worse..😔in march 2020 I started eating just a fruit and cucumber for 1 months and then ...I thought I should stop these undercoating habits they stopped then I lost 15 kgs from i became 60 from 75 but then I started overeating very badly like worst ...... I ate breads , ate away peanut butters , and lots of junk I gained 10 kgs after overeating soo much I ate to an extinct that my stomach was aching .......... And then these habits stopped ...😔and I feel sad for one thing my dad doesnt understand how bad junk food is ................ my mom and dad thinks I'm under eating just when I say no to junk food I feel so so sad I wanted to die due to this I ended up slapping myself so bad my cheeks bleeded and the sadest thing is that my parents still think that junk food is good and wont do any harm .... my dad is obese ...I told him to stop junk food but when I go to my fridge I always see apple pies chocolates and I'm indian I see samosas which are basically fried.....and my mom think eating healthy is bad like how should I say them and my dad is very bad
for anyone in the comments who needs this reminder: just think, if you had $86,400 and you lost $3,600, would you throw the rest away just because you lost a small fraction of it? answer: of course not!! that would be dumb similarly you have 86,400 seconds in a day, and say you wasted 3,600 seconds (an hour) you shouldn’t let that ruin your day, and just keep on goin :)
"You're not hungry. Like you've ate food today, you're going to eat tomorrow" That's what I say everyday to myself. And I don't know why but I just keep eating and eating and eating.
AlAnn A here’s a tip that helped me a lot: SMOOTHIES! Make you a bomb smoothie (large, small, whatever size) after you get “full” drink water with lemon. It will change your life.
what I've realized about the brain: 1. Doing something, as minuscule as you think it is, will still give you a sense of accomplishment. For example, making your bed immediately after you wake up gives you a sense that you've accomplished something at the very start of your day. If all else goes wrong during the day, at least you'll come home to a well-made bed! :) 2. Your brain/thoughts are your own superpower. Saying you can't do anything doesn't mean anything, but if your brain is convinced that you can't do anything, you won't. So whenever you say you can't do anything, don't think you can't do it, just try to do it. And when you do try, your brain believes it can do it! :) 3. Using words like 'but', 'because' or 'i think' will gradually destroy your brain's power. If you can draw well, for example, you'll say, 'i think i like this drawing i made but there's something wrong with the eye because i'm not that good of an eye-drawer'. Saying 'but' gives your brain the chance to contradict the fact that something you've done is good. Saying 'because' gives your brain an excuse/false reason not to do something better than before. Why should you have a reason in the first place?! No excuses! No buts! Saying 'i think' is an unnecessary way of doubting yourself. Why not just remove the 'i think' from that sentence. Use 'and' more too. With the points I've given, now, the sentence should go something like: 'I like this drawing i made AND it looks nice. I can make it look nicer!' This way, you're being positive to yourself and trying to improve to make something you've made look nicer without degrading yourself. 4. Lastly, be positive! Being positive is the route in which you take if you don't want to give up on something. For example, if you've failed at an exam, don't give up and say there's no point in trying to pass because you're, quote, 'stupid'! In fact, when you fail at something, there's no way it can get worse. If you're last in your class, there's no way you'll be less than last, the only way to go is UP! And if you keep failing, here's where you don't give up. Just be positive. It will be so powerful to your brain when you end up succeeding in the end. I hope I've helped someone out there that's struggling with these tips. Enjoy your day! :D
It’s still somewhat restrictive though. Sometimes one doesn’t know if they’re actually hungry or not so when you want food mentally it’s your bodies way of telling you to eat. You do you :)
@@privatemel9963 Yeah I get what you mean, but then when you have mentally hungry what kinda foods come to mind, and what foods do we eat if we "think" we're hungry? When i'm studying hard, I make sure I have a good breakfast, and lunch so i don't feel like snacking on possible junk food. Snacking isn't 'terrible' but if we snack "just because" that's when our eating habits can get out of control :D
I think this is really good advice, but doesn’t apply to people with binge eating disorders or anyone with any ED. I wish it was as easy as just eating when hungry and drinking If you’re not, but a lot of people with binge eating disorders eat even if they’re full and even if they want to stop.
The stomach growls when you’re hungry, thirsty, and when its digesting. Don’t know which? Have some water. Willing to eat an apple? You’re probably hungry. If not, and the water helped, you’re likely bored. I can be a bored eater so this helped
One of the most important things I have to constantly remind myself of- having a "flat stomach" does not always equal healthy. Healthy differs for everyone.
I was so close to give up on myself and die until you said that thing with 1% ,that stucks on my head now. I'm not a teenager, I have 30 years old and I am so surprized how much things I learn from people younger than me. When you grow up this world eats you...thank you
You have proved my point, I am 17 and the most scary thing in my life is adulthood. I don't want to grow up and live a boring life or be old, being old holds within it a lot of responsibility and boredem. I wish that you can live a wonderful and amazing and fullfilled life to prove to yourself and to people like me that no matter what we can be strong and live a good and amazing life no matter what is our age
@@mayar9676 All I can say ...it's a hard life for sensitive people...those who go with the flow and chase things like making kids, get a super fancy job make a great school. They will be fine. But those who look for happines, chill life..we live in a very busy and quick world. Nobody has patience anymore, no one cares if you wanna cry and you are desperate because a break up with boyfriend. They look at you and say: girl, you have 30 years old! Deal with it! So...you have 15 years old inside your heart, 30 outside and start slowly deal with it...because if not, who is gonna be there to lift you up? 😉 I'm making 31 on january 25 and my house is a temple for my personality. It 's full of light, candles, cozy...books. Don't let the society tell how to live.
@@LauraP2501 I hope you will maintain your mental stability and I hope you continue living happy and satisfied. I hope you can achieve the things you truly want and I wish you to be loved and love
when the screen turned black after your very motivating speech I saw my reflection and just smiled at myself, and this is so cheesy but really I want to thank you for motivating me and giving me the strength to pick myself up times and times again and keep believing that I can become who I want to be
When you had the Jeans on at 8:35 I literally said out loud „these look SO good on you“ :( And it made me realize we are always so unfairly harsh on ourselves .....
@LucianaVega you can still get some good sleep if you decide to sleep now. @Moonlghtbee I'm from South Africa and it's 05:30 am rn, where are you from?
"It is great that i spoke kindly to myself [...] but i didn't need that kind of self-love. I needed tough self-love, which i didn't understand this concept at the time." This spoke to me so strongly ! I dealt with strong depression and anxiety for 3 years. Over the years, I learned to practice self-love and to always be kind to myself. And I knew that I love myself. I did considered myself as my best friend. Yet, I had a hard period a few months ago because I was DESPERATE, I was still feeling empty and sad and having stronger breakdowns and I didn't understand why. I didn't understand why all the love I gave to myself was still not enough after all this time. And then I understood. I was too kind to myself. I was afraid to be angry at myself because I was too afraid of negative thoughts. But I realised that tough love is not negative thoughts. A real best friend would tell you if you did something bad for yourself, they would try to help you get through it. Instead, I made myself comfortable by saying "that's okay, it's no big deal, you will be better someday" all the time instead of "that's okay but you can do better. You will not be better *someday*, you can start being better the next minute. You can take action now instead of just accept the feeling. Otherwise you have to accept that you won't get better." And when I realised that, everything started to get better. Tough love is simply the last piece I needed.
Something that I noticed is when she feels more confident it makes us think she is beautiful and stunning. But when she is not confident and feels like crap which makes us think she doesn’t look good and her mentality is suffering. A confident mind is beautiful. ❤️
i’m 13 years old and this was my exact mind set. i binged at night and starved in broad day light . i though that having that hot girl summer body with abs would make me happy. but it all just made me depressed. i developed eating disorders and still am in recovery. i haven’t felt the feeling of eating till full since i last year. i needed this video a lot, so thank you so much alivia. you have changed my life. today, i still workout daily, an hour to try to get abs and i eat clean, it’s just my mindset so thanks for all you do
i wish you the best of luck that you get better. im a little younger then you and going through kinda the same thing due to toxic friends lol. have a nice day!
Viktoriia Vavilova haha i know im young. it’s not fun because i got social media at a young age and that’s kinda what started some of it, seeing every model and influencer be skinny and pretty :(
For a really long time I would do the same thing to myself, I’m trying to recover on my own now but it is still hard often. Good luck with your recovery, you can do this and I believe in you! (I’m fourteen so about your same age)
Tip for everyone : walk around with less money or not enough spending money so you’ll either not spend at all or not even have enough for extra and snacks.
“You’re gonna accept any kind of love the good and the bad and love the person that gave you one compliment just bcz you don’t love yourself enough “ my dad. (Tried to translate it from Arabic to English 😂)
thank you for editing out the weight numbers. thank you. i'm in ED recovery, so that would have been really triggering, but when you beeped them out i felt so safe and i knew you were looking out for your viewers! thank you
Today I wanted to eat a banana with some peanut butter, but I told myself that I couldn't eat it because I would never lose weight if I consumed those extra calores. I ended up bingeing on pb, cereal, and cookies. I thought that if I had allowed myself to just eat that banana and move on, that binge episode wouldn't have happened. This video really made me understand a lot of things and I feel better now. I will definitely try to do some positive changes in my life and my thoughts. Thanks Alivia! ❤️
I've had a huge problem of over eating and cravings for unhealthy food, I was at a very bad relationship with food, and then I followed intuitive eating, I eat whatever I like at the moment and the next meal I choose is extremely healthy, if I have the food I crave like a slice of pizza, I have it guilt free and then the craving stops for days and suddenly it's my lifestyle, I love this method sooo very much enjoying every food guilt free yet maintaining balance 🌹❤
That's great to hear! A quick question tho, does intuitive eating help in weight loss? Cause rn I'm trying to fight an ED and at the same time, bring down my weight.
@@elitasheen6964 hey! the answer goes both ways here , the core of intuitive eating is body positivity and learning to love your body by how it looks by actually loving it by nourishing meals, it’s not just about the way we look but the way we feel, if your mindset is positive about your body and you actually nourish it you’ll eventually be the best version of yourself.
@@annasame7395 yeah i agree with you but wearing air pods while swimming can is quite dangourouse... cuz u see if the the water maneges to get inside the airpod it can send an eletric signal to your ear wich will be quite .... well can shock you or worse orrrr it might be waterproof or somthing thats why it dosen't affect your her ears (not trying to be rude sorry if i offended anyone)
This whole series was so inspirational Alivia and I loved how real you were throughout and the fact that you stayed committed to filming the process even when you slipped up (because so many youtubers only record the good parts of a transformation) - also need to give credit to your editing because I felt like I was watching a straight up TV show. S0 proud of you and how far you've come :) -
So I've just binged this whole playlist in only one day, because I needed to know how your journey continues. And I just wanna say THANK YOU, not only for me but for every single person who sees this pure, wholesome gift you've made to everyone who's struggling. This is the kind of glow up and transformation videos we need so much more on social media and we need more people like you in this world. ❤
Honestly I feel she eats more, binges more and stresses more the more she thinks about it. I’ve noticed I don’t binge and eat less if I’m not around food and keep myself busy outside of the house, the more preoccupied I am the less I think of food and only eat if I’m hungry.
@@elisabethhey3123 Same, I didn't binge/purge since Nov 2019 and was doing very well mentally. But being stuck at home during quarantine, surrounded by food, my ED came back 😞 It's been hell, I've gained weight and feel terrible. Quarantine was the worst thing for my ed, so sad.
@@Cbop77 It's okay though! don't beat yourself up, everyday is a chance to slowly become healthy again. I've started a few weeks ago and I don't look quite the same but I am starting to FEEL like myself again. And that's the most important. Good luck
Or they're in denial that they need to make a change? Sometimes it's hard to admit that you need to do something that you know is going to be hard, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Let them be and they'll come around eventually.
Even tough I am past my binge problems there is something so comforting watching binge-themed videos. Its fascinating how something that causes you so much pain and saddness is also a source of comfort.
I can't believe how far you've come! I remember finding you when you had a few episodes released. It's been nice to have someone to go on this journey with.
You’ve changed my mental process Alivia. I see myself in your more than any ones binge stories on CZcams. You are publicly raw, honest, and real. You said things I’ve never said out loud, which gives me so much hope. Thank you. You had us all crying by the end. You are amazing and stronger than you know !
I started watching the glow up diaries like more than a year from now. I want to thank you so much Alivia, I have changed a lot. Everyones process is different and if someone is still fighting, you can do it, you are strong, you can make it through. Thank you so much seriously. Much love to everyone.
I appreciate how honest you are. With yourself, your feelings, and your life. You don't make it seem like you have everything together and perfect all the time. Its raw and real. And all at the same time, you keep going and that is the most impressive part.
these videos just feel so relatable thank you so much for being SO honest. I am currently struggling with binge eating and my fitness goals. its the hardest battle ive ever fought, and ive been in it since i was 11. but every video encourages me to keep going. definitely getting that book, thank you so much for not being afraid to share even the hard moments
Alivia has come so far, like do you remember her acne before, no offense, but it was everywhere. Now look at her, her face is so clear and healthy now. And she has showed us both, mentally and physically that she has learned from her mistakes. It's amazing, so glad to watch and cheer her on!😆
Acne isn’t always something you can control. It shouldn’t matter whether she had acne or not. My skin is rubbish but it’s hormonal and something I can’t control unless I take medication which I don’t want to. I agree she’s come so far and is in a much better place and it’s really inspiring but using acne as an example is not the best way of saying she’s now “healthy”. I eat an extremely balanced diet and still have spots.
@@mollydyke2313Same here and comments like this really make me feel bad about myself, i wish people would be more considerate about other peoples feelings when writing something like that
Ellen Hay I completely understand. Don’t let people who clearly know nothing about hormonal conditions get you down tho. It’s not worth it. You are beautiful as you are and you don’t need to change for anyone ❤️
you are unreal. you really are. you are so inspiring and so is your story. you are beautiful and i couldn’t be more proud of you. i’m sad that there is only one more season left of the glow up diaries but i’m happy that you are in a good state now. congratulations. always remember you’re loved. 🤍
You're doing one of the bravest things anyone can do and that is showing your vulnerable self on social media. That's so brave I can't even emphasise enough ✨✨
don’t say that to yourself you are beautiful!! you can always become a healthier version of urself but dont feel like you need to change for anyone because you are special the way God made you :)
Idontknow lol i’m sure ur so pretty :) you can always work hard to achieve what you want but don’t doubt yourself !! you are perfect the way God made you
Maggie Carrizo please don’t feel that way, i’m sure ur beautiful ! you are perfect the way God made you. but if you want to achieve a gold, then go get it, i believe in you :)
I love how you said 99% of yourself has given up but that 1% didn't and thats what made you keep going, have hope. (said something like that) That was really heartfelt to me like I started tearing up. Just know that you literally loook stunning, like dude those jeans that you said you look bad in, BEAUTIFUL and I'm low key jealous because I don't even fit in my jeans anymore but instead of having a negative thought about that I just say I'm growing or I'm thiccccccccccc lol Anywayssssss, Can't wait for season 2!
girl you have no idea how inspiring you are, I really cried at the end of the video because it just touched me deeply and I felt a big compassion growing inside me. looking forward for the second season ;)
Thank you sooooo much for making video's like these, I really thought I lost myself. My hope was gone and I didn't like who I was. I recognized myself in you and your thoughts, and now I finally realize I can make a change too. You've put me back on track and I'm so grateful for that.
This girl is just so brave to share her experience and it helps so much people and even if we think the opposite I think she never give up because she could have given up so much and never found her happiness
I have noticed, whenever I feel stressed out, especially after meeting friends I get stressed and am emotionally exhausted, I eat to relese the pain. I always feel disgusted and so full, but I can't stop eating...
I can't WAIT for season 2 ! It's really helping me understand my own issues and how to fight it. I am literally in a binge phase right now, after 2 months of doing great. You're an inspiration, keep doing what you're doing girl ! ❤👏
I have no words for this. Alivia, if you're reading this, know that you've and will continue to change the lives of a lot of girls. This series has shown me how to read between the lines when it comes to my habits. People have always nonchalantly dismissed addiction of overeating and the mental struggle of weight and food. You have shown me that I'm not vain/superficial/immature and definitely not alone. Watching this series has really brought a new perspective, a fiercely positive perspective and belief that I will NOT continue to spiral down this grotesque hole. I am SO GRATEFUL for your existence and for the fact that a platform like CZcams exists to connect me to you. I love you and I am so proud of you.
Her series has seriously helped me so much , ever since i started watching her i started wanting to recover and not bash myself up when i overeat or lose myself and rn i was really stressed about not losing weight and not being happy with my body but she helps me not feel so stressed and actually rethink about my mindset This video showing herself like this is really what I’m feeling right now and it makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only that feels this way
I have a huge struggle with eating. I don’t starve myself I know I need to eat healthy food and I make sure I get the nutrition I need but I can’t tell when I’m hungry or full. I try to hold off eating until mid afternoon because once I start eating it almost feels like I can’t stop some days. I feel like I’m getting better at re-learning what it feels like to be hungry again and I’m trying to realize when I’m full but that’s hard for me. I don’t care that I’m full I just keep eating. I don’t restrict because I anticipate binging I do my best to make every day a new day and I push through and I’m finding solutions.
When I first found your channel, the first thought I had, was “this girl is such a good person, inside and out.” You’re so mature and realise your routines and mistakes, but how you act upon them is with kindness to yourself and self-love. You have done so much, and so many things that a lot of people are to afraid to do. Your bravery to get down to the problem is what many can’t come to take action on. I found it so amazing how you actually realised your habits, but also came up with so many solutions. Throughout the season though, I truly felt that I was meant to find this, (I’m sure everyone feels that way ☺️) after struggling myself with self-love and body image I found that this is what gave me such reassurance and insight on how to be kinder to myself and have a positive mindset. When I saw you crying, I honestly felt a sharp pain in my chest, you’re such a great person, and I hope you are in a even more wonderful place rn. Btw you are beautiful and I hope you realise that!🥺🌸 Thank you so much for making these episodes! (Couldn’t be more grateful💜)
When I first started watching these videos when she began this series, I never expected them to be as amazing as they are. Her transparency in them is honestly so brave to me. She has showed us herself at her lowest, and that took so much courage. Thank you Alivia you are amazing!!!
Alivia, your journey reminds me so much of myself. Especially with Asian beauty standards to be unhealthily thin, I have and continue to struggle with myself. Your series had given me hope and motivation to love myself one day and be healthy for the right reasons. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
This series really helps me because you get to be in the journey with Alivia, feel the pain and want to be the best version of yourself. I have learnt so much and I also hope to Glow up as she has.
I don't know what I'd do without glow Up Diaries.... this has comforted me in so many hard times, and you have voiced things that I deeply felt and either didn't know how to express or didn't think anyone understood. You so courageously and selflessly sharing your story with us has made and is making all the difference.
Girl your glow up diaries series is so inspirational!! Thank you so much for being REAL with us- we need more of that in to today’s society!! can’t wait to see what’s coming in season 2 :)

ABOUT: This is a 6 year docu-series of my coming of age story. I originally thought I would end this series after a few months but ugly truths unraveled as I went further into my glow up journey. I began recording the glow up diaries at 17 years old and finished when I turned 22 years old.

I guess it’s just the way you perceive yourself and how others perceive yourself, like someone getting a new haircut and they hate it but everyone around them thinks it suits them you know

Ik this quote is amazing
I got inspired not only from the videos but also the comments.

Wait nvm that was another one
Golden Roses LMAOOSJDNJF
Things i have learned from Alivia that have changed my life
1) Never say I can't do/have it, instead say I don't do/have it
2)Think of something that makes you happy and start your task as it tricks your brain into thinking that the tasks makes you happy
3) When having negative thoughts say "this is my animal brain speaking"
4)When your brain keeps on bringing the reasons to not do a specific tasks say "'1 2 3 GO!!"and start it.
5) Always stay positive and kind to yourself
6)Do what makes you happy
7)Don't think about the results,fall in love with the process
8)It's not "weight loss weight loss weight loss" , its "healthy healthy healthy"
9)There should be balanced relationship with food
10)One cookie will not make you fat

Same, but life is a life long journey and there will probably never be a point when you figured everything out perfectly. So for me at least, the story won‘t be over, it‘s just the end of a darker chapter.

Alivia really out here living as the main character.
and we out here being the background characters
everyone's the main character in their lives. if you're not ur life's mc then ure doing it wrong
I remember somebody saying something like “you are the main character of your life. I mean its your life, your show, you are the cast director. If you don’t think that you’re the main character, it’s because you don’t give your self enough love and appreciation you deserve not because ‘you are not good enough to be the main character’.”
i’m not even the main character of my own life lmfao😂😭
You are the main character of your life , so live it to the fullest...😻 luv you
How did literally EVERYONE have a really bad/broken phase between feb-aug 2019???
bruh it was the worst time OF MY LIFE no joke
That was the period I realized that I no longer wanted to be with my fiancé and I wasn’t able to have the future we planned together...it was DEVASTATING to realize this, and I gained 40 pounds, lost every single one of my friends, failed all of my classes and lost all passion for everything and everyone. Then, had to move back into my family’s house which was humiliating. Just..ugh.
That was the time I was being bullied the most :(
This period was literally one of the most testing times ever! My husband, my daughter and I were all really sick and also broke, literally no income lving with family etc... much better place now
literally same- how did you know- damn I’m so happy I’m doing way better now
When Alivia was crying, I noticed a tear come down my face. She has made my emotions that were bottled inside me, come alive. I actually felt like her words spoke to me after a long journey of trying to be kinder to myself. Thank you Alivia for making us feel that we're not alone on this journey of self discovery. You made me apart of your journey and for that I am forever grateful. Please like this so she can see this comment. I really want her to know that she makes a difference in the world. P.S. to everyone who is reading this, I believe in you. You can do it, you can get over your demons. You will find yourself again. Much love.
Your comment made me warm inside..so grateful I could help in any small way and that you are part of our community ❤️
I feel the same way. Up until this year I have been scared of journaling because it always ended up being all of these negative thoughts against myself. I've recently started a self improvement journal but I'm procrastinating on that too
@@aliviadandrea I love the family you have started. You have brought people together, the people who feel most alone in these dark places. Thank you Ms. Fircelivy, you are my girl and I love you so much!😊❤
My feelings and emotions were identically what she was expressing 😔
Same for me! I could really relate since i kinda am on a weightloss journey. And i did lose weight and i became so proud and my realtionship with food was really good (this was for a week...) then i started binging again :(( But now instead of starting over the weightloss and diet again for like the 1000 time i am starting to practise self love and stuff. Because i am so tired of feeling how i feel atm. This video and series made me realise i'm not alone in feeling like this, with food and weight. My dad always comment on my weight when he see me eat something or even binge and he just says: stop eating so much and you will lose weight... it's not that easy! TT He have never had problem with weight in the way i have so...
It’s so weird how even though when you binge you think like “i am the ONLY one that experiences this why is everyone else normal?” And then you see something like this and get this sort of comfort like you are not the only one and how similar it actually is to your situation;the habits,thoughts everything.Just gives me more hope that i will succeed to recover :)
Me too... I just want to hug her and tell her I understand the crippling feeling of battling with yourself in your head and losing trust in yourself.
I have similar problems too, but I'm very shocked about that so many young people already deal with that type of problems, I don't think that's a good sign about our society
me too, 16yo without any friends, like- all of the ppl i know it just in this state of 'acquintance' bcs of my social anxiety😔 glad i found this comment and realize im not alone, thx !! 🥺

I'm 13 and my parents always buy food and think I undereat while the reality is on September 2019 I decided to lose weight cuz I was 89 kgs and my age was just 12..😔I ended up losing 14 kgs in a very unhealthy way ....and then my mindset is still like this idk why but ...I always think if I have a piece of junk food that day is spoilt and I eat more junk and...this pandemic just made it worse..😔in march 2020 I started eating just a fruit and cucumber for 1 months and then ...I thought I should stop these undercoating habits they stopped then I lost 15 kgs from i became 60 from 75 but then I started overeating very badly like worst ...... I ate breads , ate away peanut butters , and lots of junk I gained 10 kgs after overeating soo much I ate to an extinct that my stomach was aching ..........
And then these habits stopped ...😔and I feel sad for one thing my dad doesnt understand how bad junk food is ................ my mom and dad thinks I'm under eating just when I say no to junk food I feel so so sad I wanted to die due to this I ended up slapping myself so bad my cheeks bleeded and the sadest thing is that my parents still think that junk food is good and wont do any harm .... my dad is obese ...I told him to stop junk food but when I go to my fridge I always see apple pies chocolates and I'm indian I see samosas which are basically fried.....and my mom think eating healthy is bad like how should I say them and my dad is very bad

Goodnight- Moon I agree hopefully she can do another series based off of her new healthy mindset

for anyone in the comments who needs this reminder:
just think, if you had $86,400 and you lost $3,600, would you throw the rest away just because you lost a small fraction of it?
answer: of course not!! that would be dumb
similarly you have 86,400 seconds in a day, and say you wasted 3,600 seconds (an hour) you shouldn’t let that ruin your day, and just keep on goin :)
Thank you so much I will screenshot it and use it for motivation 😊

Thank you so much, this comment made my day♥️ x

"You're not hungry. Like you've ate food today, you're going to eat tomorrow"
That's what I say everyday to myself. And I don't know why but I just keep eating and eating and eating.
I believe in you. you can do this
Don’t give up on yourself, you can and will beat this 👍
AlAnn A here’s a tip that helped me a lot: SMOOTHIES! Make you a bomb smoothie (large, small, whatever size) after you get “full” drink water with lemon. It will change your life.
@@angeliqu3338 thanks for the tip!
@Gabbymaryott Maryott @Claudia Bianchi thank you❤!
Had to say “I CAN have that but I don’t want to.” Makes me feel more in control rather than being a slave to the diet
Same 👏🏻
what I've realized about the brain:
1. Doing something, as minuscule as you think it is, will still give you a sense of accomplishment. For example, making your bed immediately after you wake up gives you a sense that you've accomplished something at the very start of your day. If all else goes wrong during the day, at least you'll come home to a well-made bed! :)
2. Your brain/thoughts are your own superpower. Saying you can't do anything doesn't mean anything, but if your brain is convinced that you can't do anything, you won't. So whenever you say you can't do anything, don't think you can't do it, just try to do it. And when you do try, your brain believes it can do it! :)
3. Using words like 'but', 'because' or 'i think' will gradually destroy your brain's power. If you can draw well, for example, you'll say, 'i think i like this drawing i made but there's something wrong with the eye because i'm not that good of an eye-drawer'. Saying 'but' gives your brain the chance to contradict the fact that something you've done is good. Saying 'because' gives your brain an excuse/false reason not to do something better than before. Why should you have a reason in the first place?! No excuses! No buts! Saying 'i think' is an unnecessary way of doubting yourself. Why not just remove the 'i think' from that sentence. Use 'and' more too. With the points I've given, now, the sentence should go something like: 'I like this drawing i made AND it looks nice. I can make it look nicer!' This way, you're being positive to yourself and trying to improve to make something you've made look nicer without degrading yourself.
4. Lastly, be positive! Being positive is the route in which you take if you don't want to give up on something. For example, if you've failed at an exam, don't give up and say there's no point in trying to pass because you're, quote, 'stupid'! In fact, when you fail at something, there's no way it can get worse. If you're last in your class, there's no way you'll be less than last, the only way to go is UP! And if you keep failing, here's where you don't give up. Just be positive. It will be so powerful to your brain when you end up succeeding in the end.
I hope I've helped someone out there that's struggling with these tips. Enjoy your day! :D
Thanks for your comment. It helped me.
@duskylily nmb You're really welcome! Thank YOU for reading my comment too! :D
@@malanisiriwardana2701 You're welcome! Thanks for reading it in the first place :D
Yup, also its a nice reminder that more than 50% of your problem are in your control since its in your head. Its nice knowing you can have control
Repeating positive affirmations can help
"I never gave up that 1% because that 1% of hope is what keeps me going."
two simple rules my 50 yr old mum says to herself: EAT WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY and DRINK WATER WHEN YOU want FOOD.
It’s still somewhat restrictive though. Sometimes one doesn’t know if they’re actually hungry or not so when you want food mentally it’s your bodies way of telling you to eat. You do you :)
@@privatemel9963 Yeah I get what you mean, but then when you have mentally hungry what kinda foods come to mind, and what foods do we eat if we "think" we're hungry? When i'm studying hard, I make sure I have a good breakfast, and lunch so i don't feel like snacking on possible junk food. Snacking isn't 'terrible' but if we snack "just because" that's when our eating habits can get out of control :D
Naomi Grace Actually, yeah👍🏻
I think this is really good advice, but doesn’t apply to people with binge eating disorders or anyone with any ED. I wish it was as easy as just eating when hungry and drinking If you’re not, but a lot of people with binge eating disorders eat even if they’re full and even if they want to stop.
The stomach growls when you’re hungry, thirsty, and when its digesting. Don’t know which? Have some water. Willing to eat an apple? You’re probably hungry. If not, and the water helped, you’re likely bored. I can be a bored eater so this helped
One of the most important things I have to constantly remind myself of- having a "flat stomach" does not always equal healthy. Healthy differs for everyone.
I was so close to give up on myself and die until you said that thing with 1% ,that stucks on my head now. I'm not a teenager, I have 30 years old and I am so surprized how much things I learn from people younger than me. When you grow up this world eats you...thank you
it hit hard
You have proved my point, I am 17 and the most scary thing in my life is adulthood. I don't want to grow up and live a boring life or be old, being old holds within it a lot of responsibility and boredem.
I wish that you can live a wonderful and amazing and fullfilled life to prove to yourself and to people like me that no matter what we can be strong and live a good and amazing life no matter what is our age
@@mayar9676 All I can say ...it's a hard life for sensitive people...those who go with the flow and chase things like making kids, get a super fancy job make a great school. They will be fine. But those who look for happines, chill life..we live in a very busy and quick world. Nobody has patience anymore, no one cares if you wanna cry and you are desperate because a break up with boyfriend. They look at you and say: girl, you have 30 years old! Deal with it!
So...you have 15 years old inside your heart, 30 outside and start slowly deal with it...because if not, who is gonna be there to lift you up?

This is how many people have learned to not give up from alivia ⬇️
"It is great that i spoke kindly to myself [...] but i didn't need that kind of self-love. I needed tough self-love, which i didn't understand this concept at the time."
This spoke to me so strongly ! I dealt with strong depression and anxiety for 3 years. Over the years, I learned to practice self-love and to always be kind to myself. And I knew that I love myself. I did considered myself as my best friend. Yet, I had a hard period a few months ago because I was DESPERATE, I was still feeling empty and sad and having stronger breakdowns and I didn't understand why. I didn't understand why all the love I gave to myself was still not enough after all this time.
And then I understood.
I was too kind to myself. I was afraid to be angry at myself because I was too afraid of negative thoughts. But I realised that tough love is not negative thoughts. A real best friend would tell you if you did something bad for yourself, they would try to help you get through it. Instead, I made myself comfortable by saying "that's okay, it's no big deal, you will be better someday" all the time instead of "that's okay but you can do better. You will not be better *someday*, you can start being better the next minute. You can take action now instead of just accept the feeling. Otherwise you have to accept that you won't get better."
And when I realised that, everything started to get better. Tough love is simply the last piece I needed.
exactly!!!!
these vlogs are so depressing but real. this is the reality of having an eating disorder.
Something that I noticed is when she feels more confident it makes us think she is beautiful and stunning. But when she is not confident and feels like crap which makes us think she doesn’t look good and her mentality is suffering. A confident mind is beautiful. ❤️
Yup! Beauty is owning and loving who you are
i’m 13 years old and this was my exact mind set. i binged at night and starved in broad day light .
i though that having that hot girl summer body with abs would make me happy. but it all just made me depressed. i developed eating disorders and still am in recovery. i haven’t felt the feeling of eating till full since i last year. i needed this video a lot, so thank you so much alivia. you have changed my life. today, i still workout daily, an hour to try to get abs and i eat clean, it’s just my mindset so thanks for all you do
We r at the same age ! Sis u can do this , make sure to be happy and healthy and dont starve yourself so much bcs it will make u sick and depressed
I’m glad your in recovery, I wish u the best luck for ur journey! good luck
i wish you the best of luck that you get better. im a little younger then you and going through kinda the same thing due to toxic friends lol. have a nice day!
Viktoriia Vavilova haha i know im young. it’s not fun because i got social media at a young age and that’s kinda what started some of it, seeing every model and influencer be skinny and pretty :(

I'm am as well, can't wait!!
Today I wanted to eat a banana with some peanut butter, but I told myself that I couldn't eat it because I would never lose weight if I consumed those extra calores. I ended up bingeing on pb, cereal, and cookies. I thought that if I had allowed myself to just eat that banana and move on, that binge episode wouldn't have happened. This video really made me understand a lot of things and I feel better now. I will definitely try to do some positive changes in my life and my thoughts. Thanks Alivia! ❤️
PB is life for me 😭
True but if you ate banana and pb, then you would regret it
That's the thing with regret it always comes in no matter what
I've had a huge problem of over eating and cravings for unhealthy food, I was at a very bad relationship with food, and then I followed intuitive eating, I eat whatever I like at the moment and the next meal I choose is extremely healthy, if I have the food I crave like a slice of pizza, I have it guilt free and then the craving stops for days and suddenly it's my lifestyle, I love this method sooo very much enjoying every food guilt free yet maintaining balance 🌹❤
That's great to hear! A quick question tho, does intuitive eating help in weight loss? Cause rn I'm trying to fight an ED and at the same time, bring down my weight.
@@elitasheen6964 hey! the answer goes both ways here , the core of intuitive eating is body positivity and learning to love your body by how it looks by actually loving it by nourishing meals, it’s not just about the way we look but the way we feel, if your mindset is positive about your body and you actually nourish it you’ll eventually be the best version of yourself.

Honestly I feel she eats more, binges more and stresses more the more she thinks about it. I’ve noticed I don’t binge and eat less if I’m not around food and keep myself busy outside of the house, the more preoccupied I am the less I think of food and only eat if I’m hungry.
That's so true I feel the same way. That's why quarantine was terrible and my eating disorder was at its worst
@@elisabethhey3123 Same, I didn't binge/purge since Nov 2019 and was doing very well mentally. But being stuck at home during quarantine, surrounded by food, my ED came back 😞 It's been hell, I've gained weight and feel terrible. Quarantine was the worst thing for my ed, so sad.
@@Cbop77 It's okay though! don't beat yourself up, everyday is a chance to slowly become healthy again. I've started a few weeks ago and I don't look quite the same but I am starting to FEEL like myself again. And that's the most important. Good luck
I think it is about having a "perfect reality" that makes us struggle with ourselves
The people who disliked this are probaly haters and have no heart.
Or they're in denial that they need to make a change? Sometimes it's hard to admit that you need to do something that you know is going to be hard, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Let them be and they'll come around eventually.
uncalled for but ok
It means "dis-i-like
That's right
I think their thumbs slipped.
Even tough I am past my binge problems there is something so comforting watching binge-themed videos. Its fascinating how something that causes you so much pain and saddness is also a source of comfort.

I appreciate how honest you are. With yourself, your feelings, and your life. You don't make it seem like you have everything together and perfect all the time. Its raw and real. And all at the same time, you keep going and that is the most impressive part.
these videos just feel so relatable thank you so much for being SO honest. I am currently struggling with binge eating and my fitness goals. its the hardest battle ive ever fought, and ive been in it since i was 11. but every video encourages me to keep going. definitely getting that book, thank you so much for not being afraid to share even the hard moments
this is truly amazing. it hit hard when you said, "there's a difference between telling yourself something and believing in something."
Alivia has come so far, like do you remember her acne before, no offense, but it was everywhere. Now look at her, her face is so clear and healthy now. And she has showed us both, mentally and physically that she has learned from her mistakes. It's amazing, so glad to watch and cheer her on!😆
I KNOW SHE LOOKS AMAZING
Acne isn’t always something you can control. It shouldn’t matter whether she had acne or not. My skin is rubbish but it’s hormonal and something I can’t control unless I take medication which I don’t want to. I agree she’s come so far and is in a much better place and it’s really inspiring but using acne as an example is not the best way of saying she’s now “healthy”. I eat an extremely balanced diet and still have spots.
Alli Rethans I feel you! It’s so frustrating
@@mollydyke2313Same here and comments like this really make me feel bad about myself, i wish people would be more considerate about other peoples feelings when writing something like that
Ellen Hay I completely understand. Don’t let people who clearly know nothing about hormonal conditions get you down tho. It’s not worth it. You are beautiful as you are and you don’t need to change for anyone ❤️
you are unreal. you really are. you are so inspiring and so is your story. you are beautiful and i couldn’t be more proud of you. i’m sad that there is only one more season left of the glow up diaries but i’m happy that you are in a good state now. congratulations. always remember you’re loved. 🤍
You're doing one of the bravest things anyone can do and that is showing your vulnerable self on social media. That's so brave I can't even emphasise enough ✨✨
“Losing weight will make me happy “ that’s exactly what I have told myself my entire life .
Me too:(
Same
don’t say that to yourself you are beautiful!! you can always become a healthier version of urself but dont feel like you need to change for anyone because you are special the way God made you :)
Idontknow lol i’m sure ur so pretty :) you can always work hard to achieve what you want but don’t doubt yourself !! you are perfect the way God made you
Maggie Carrizo please don’t feel that way, i’m sure ur beautiful ! you are perfect the way God made you. but if you want to achieve a gold, then go get it, i believe in you :)
I love how you said 99% of yourself has given up but that 1% didn't and thats what made you keep going, have hope. (said something like that) That was really heartfelt to me like I started tearing up.
Just know that you literally loook stunning, like dude those jeans that you said you look bad in, BEAUTIFUL and I'm low key jealous because I don't even fit in my jeans anymore but instead of having a negative thought about that I just say I'm growing or I'm thiccccccccccc lol
Anywayssssss,
Can't wait for season 2!
girl you have no idea how inspiring you are, I really cried at the end of the video because it just touched me deeply and I felt a big compassion growing inside me. looking forward for the second season ;)
Thank you sooooo much for making video's like these, I really thought I lost myself. My hope was gone and I didn't like who I was. I recognized myself in you and your thoughts, and now I finally realize I can make a change too. You've put me back on track and I'm so grateful for that.
This girl is just so brave to share her experience and it helps so much people and even if we think the opposite I think she never give up because she could have given up so much and never found her happiness
I have noticed, whenever I feel stressed out, especially after meeting friends I get stressed and am emotionally exhausted, I eat to relese the pain. I always feel disgusted and so full, but I can't stop eating...
yes you can ! you need to try and push yourself bby
I can't WAIT for season 2 !
It's really helping me understand my own issues and how to fight it. I am literally in a binge phase right now, after 2 months of doing great.
You're an inspiration, keep doing what you're doing girl ! ❤👏
This is the literal most relatable series I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Wow.
I've been struggling with an ed for a long time and I cried watching this. I can relate to so many things....

I have no words for this. Alivia, if you're reading this, know that you've and will continue to change the lives of a lot of girls. This series has shown me how to read between the lines when it comes to my habits. People have always nonchalantly dismissed addiction of overeating and the mental struggle of weight and food. You have shown me that I'm not vain/superficial/immature and definitely not alone. Watching this series has really brought a new perspective, a fiercely positive perspective and belief that I will NOT continue to spiral down this grotesque hole. I am SO GRATEFUL for your existence and for the fact that a platform like CZcams exists to connect me to you. I love you and I am so proud of you.
I'm a bit in shock how your story is EXACLY my story, everything you say... Feels mad and makes you realize I actually have a mental health problem.
Her series has seriously helped me so much , ever since i started watching her i started wanting to recover and not bash myself up when i overeat or lose myself and rn i was really stressed about not losing weight and not being happy with my body but she helps me not feel so stressed and actually rethink about my mindset
This video showing herself like this is really what I’m feeling right now and it makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only that feels this way
I have a huge struggle with eating. I don’t starve myself I know I need to eat healthy food and I make sure I get the nutrition I need but I can’t tell when I’m hungry or full. I try to hold off eating until mid afternoon because once I start eating it almost feels like I can’t stop some days. I feel like I’m getting better at re-learning what it feels like to be hungry again and I’m trying to realize when I’m full but that’s hard for me. I don’t care that I’m full I just keep eating. I don’t restrict because I anticipate binging I do my best to make every day a new day and I push through and I’m finding solutions.
When I first found your channel, the first thought I had, was “this girl is such a good person, inside and out.” You’re so mature and realise your routines and mistakes, but how you act upon them is with kindness to yourself and self-love. You have done so much, and so many things that a lot of people are to afraid to do. Your bravery to get down to the problem is what many can’t come to take action on. I found it so amazing how you actually realised your habits, but also came up with so many solutions. Throughout the season though, I truly felt that I was meant to find this, (I’m sure everyone feels that way ☺️) after struggling myself with self-love and body image I found that this is what gave me such reassurance and insight on how to be kinder to myself and have a positive mindset. When I saw you crying, I honestly felt a sharp pain in my chest, you’re such a great person, and I hope you are in a even more wonderful place rn. Btw you are beautiful and I hope you realise that!🥺🌸
Thank you so much for making these episodes! (Couldn’t be more grateful💜)
When I first started watching these videos when she began this series, I never expected them to be as amazing as they are. Her transparency in them is honestly so brave to me. She has showed us herself at her lowest, and that took so much courage. Thank you Alivia you are amazing!!!
I love your channel. It‘s so refreshing to see someone that shows the other side of life. Tired of seeing fake images all over the internet 🥱
Alivia, your journey reminds me so much of myself. Especially with Asian beauty standards to be unhealthily thin, I have and continue to struggle with myself. Your series had given me hope and motivation to love myself one day and be healthy for the right reasons. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
This series really helps me because you get to be in the journey with Alivia, feel the pain and want to be the best version of yourself. I have learnt so much and I also hope to Glow up as she has.
I'm so proud of how far you've come Alivia. You're videos are truly inspiring
Stay? :)
Uhhhhh what are your doing here stays :) 🥺🥺

I'm a stay too
"Never surrender to your obstacles"
I don't know what I'd do without glow Up Diaries.... this has comforted me in so many hard times, and you have voiced things that I deeply felt and either didn't know how to express or didn't think anyone understood. You so courageously and selflessly sharing your story with us has made and is making all the difference.
Girl your glow up diaries series is so inspirational!! Thank you so much for being REAL with us- we need more of that in to today’s society!! can’t wait to see what’s coming in season 2 :)
i’ve literally been waiting for this for forever
Sameee
holy 15 seconds ago!! i’ve been waiting forever for this :)
This episode legit made me cry, I related to everything you said and finally had a breakthrough
