    Episode 8 was filmed: September - October 2018
    ABOUT THE GLOW UP DIARIES: At rock bottom I picked up a camera and began documenting my physical and mental pain that seemingly existed without meaning. From age 17 to 22 years old I recorded the “Glow Up Diaries” which is a raw docu-series of my deepest, most painful moments in an effort to find a newer, brighter existence. I openly share my difficulties despite the insistence of the media that such “shameful” feelings be kept in a closet.

    ★ 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.

      I agree numbers should not control you, but a lot of people think they feel "great" at an unhealthy weight. I have an easy time knowing when I feel satisfied while eating, and I never get that gross "full" feeling. My body knows when to stop to maintain my current weight. A lot of people don't know the difference, and they feel satisfied after they feel full. Their ghrelin levels are weird. These people must use at least a vague numbers system, because they never understand why they aren't losing weight .

It wont make u gain any weight bc ur only eating alittle bit of it. I started doing that along with jogging around my block and i lost 30 pounds in 9 months.

      Your body is designed to survive and being fat is quite ideal for survival. But your mind is aware of beauty standards and that is where the problems arise.Your body wants the most amount of calories possible that’s why things taste good.

      I can relate to you so much. Whenever I get bouts of depression (once or twice a year) I lose all motivation and become extremely unhealthy (stop exercising, eat only junk food, eat waaaaay past the point of feeling full sometimes to the point of purging) and end up gaining weight. But then when I'm no longer depressed, I exercise consistently and eat healthy (and really enjoy it). I'm really envious of people who don't have depression; it messes up my life in every way (mentallly, physically, health-wise, productivity-wise, socially, etc). It's a never-ending cycle 😞

    Looking at her weight right now. 1:40 . I’m an 11 year old turning 12 next month. I weigh 125 pounds, just 3 below her. To other people, they just feel bad and tell me it’s fine and that there are plenty of other girls who are a little overweight. But to me, that’s not even what I’m thinking about. Last month, my oldest brother asked the family if they wanted to workout in his room. He thought it was a good way to have family time and for us to have muscle. Before he that month, I had basically body shamed myself. I wasn’t happy with how I looked. Although I kept telling myself, “ You are just a child. There’s no reason for you to feel bad for yourself. There is no reason why you should be worrying about what others think of you.” But i still wanted to look skinny. Like all the other girls I’d see at school. I wanted to be skinny, pretty, and confident. I wanted to have someone who like me. Just atleast one person. But since my brother has encouraged me to workout and get muscle, I have been telling myself that you shouldn’t need to impress anyone. You don’t need to look good for any boys. You don’t need to feel sad for yourself because of your weight. Ever since last month, I have been confident. This is a small message for all you girls out there struggling to look like those beautiful models. You don’t need to impress anyone but yourself. Be proud of yourself!
    EDIT:Thank you to anyone who is reading this. I want people to just understand. But what I’m trying to say is to take it easy. Before you start working out and getting muscle, block out all the toxic people stopping you. Block out any negative thought about yourself. Ignore what people have said. Just think about you. Remember - you are doing this for you. To make you feel better emotionally and physically.

      well our tastebuds reset every 20 some days so that’s why you dont desire sugar if you go a certain amount of time without it. that’s why it’s so important to have a well balanced diet, INCLUDING sugar, but of course balancing with meat (if you eat meat), vegetables, etc.

    Girl, just a tip for you when you’re going to the gym: Do exercises with the correct form. It’s mostly to get the most out of your workout but also prevent injuries. I saw your push-up form and you have to engage your core and position your pelvis correctly. If that’s difficult, do push ups on your knees. I did burpees, planks and push ups with a wrongly positioned pelvis and hurt my left quad real bad. I’m currently going to a physiotherapist for having an incorrect form while exercising. Don’t be like me, check your form.

I even did IF and slowly lost my weight (lost a total of 4kg) in 3-4 months. But i restricted myself so much that i started having all kinds of cravings. Even sugars which i have been successfully avoiding for a whole year. I gained back all my weight in 1 month plus 2 kgs more.

    The first episode of this series was in my recommend. Two weeks ago I decided to take a break from instagram, due to a toxic mental state of mind. I have severe anxiety and body problems. I view myself in a negative way and although this comment will be lost in a comment section, I will want to tell what I’m thinking just watching these videos. I’m a freshman. Even though I can’t do as much as you have right now I never knew where to start to become more positive. I still don’t. I do have goals, but I never know how to start or stay consistent with the process to get to them. Seeing you go through breakdowns, fighting mentally, and not knowing how to balance things out makes me realize I can also glow up. It does take motivation and willpower, It takes being strong with yourself and learning along the way. I want to learn how to grow and escape this game my mind has trapped me in. It’s currently 12 : 13 am and I have school later today. I will do my best in reaching my goals, learning from Alivia, and making sure that my being is as safe and healthy as I can make it feel. I’m inspired by you, you’ve come so far. I hope to find my own ways of motivation and self realization as you have. Thank you for documenting this process for others who are going through similar issues.

    I’ve improved a lot my flexibility thanks to your video « intense middle split stretching routine », im close to it and i wanted to thank you for that ! Also i wanted to support you and send u strenght for what your going through atm ! 💪🏽 Anyone who’s reading this, dont give up, work hard, prove them wrong, believe in yourself cause nobody will do it for you, understand that you are worth more that you can imagine, and remember, if the « why » is powerful, then the « how » becomes easy ! God bless u all ! ❤️

    “What did the middle look like?” I feel this so hard! Alivia, you’ve inspired me so much. I started my glow-up journey back in February thanks to your videos, and we’re getting there! Thank you for what you do! :)

    Alivia! I love you so much!! It's all about weight loss and glow up stories but whatever you told is applicable to every aspects of life. I've been struggling with self-love and I feel you are the only person that I can run to.

      Klea Hila I just realized that we're the same height, weight and a similar age. I also know what it's like to have an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. It went from eating very little to over eating for me. I really hope that you'll overcome these extremely trying challenges and you're so strong for coming this far. All the best.💕
