Ok

I was truly taken aback when she said like. I was like, “Damn. You got me there.” 😂

Deadass

💜💜💜 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!!

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.

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 @

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💞🖤

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 RU-vidr. 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.

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 :)

People as sweet as you deserve the world, you dropped that comment to show you genuinely cared even before she posted the video talking about everything

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?

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

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.

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.

it’s crazy how much she’s changed my life

@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

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.

Fear also means: F.alse E.vidence A.ppearing as R.eal !!!

Here are quotes I came up with too: 1. *I'm not born to be a mini version of other people; I'm born to be a better version of myself* 2. *Failure happens when we ignore and don't acknowledge our achievements and instead we compare ourselves to others* 3. *It's not my job to be everything to everyone, because no matter how I look like people will never be satisfied of my success*

For Everything A Reason

I need this on my wall.

The thing is we do have excuses, not enough time or money is usually the problem. We gotta make time and eat wisely and plan for the day.

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.

she posted again

lol, ive been running outside for the past 2 months, and now we have a snow storm and Im trapped at home... been running in place 5-8 minutes every hour. Can still push my heart rate up just as high!

we have a home gym, using it is the issue. Our treadmill is a clothes hanger.

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!

Have you succeeded?

yesss I knowww

Apparently during the whole series the battery represented her mental state. It went all the way back to the beginning.

Jesus cares for you

@@JesusChristWon nah please shut up.

Some dorctor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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.

"We are not the problem, we are the solution" -my therapist

I love her!!

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

Hopefully ✨✨✨

@@user-gd8mk6zg7h no its not hopefully its DEFINITELY periodt. 🌝

Thank you! This is so motivating ✨

Thank you! This is making me feel so much better 🥺

🥺❤️

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

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

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.

@@LivingAsTasha yup

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.

Thank you for this

Yes. Context is everything

I found this comment

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!

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.

same feeling here!

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. :)

@@shamanlilac260 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!💜

yes , your mind connects bad emotions

It is, people has been saying I am too harsh on myself and overthink stuff a lot. I learned to take it easy and it's okay to take a break

@@kumarules118 yeah if you're harsh and have unrealistic expectations. You can't make yourself to get straight As, or study 10hours a day. But what you can do is make yourself do your best.

I think a lot of her tips are super helpful and her mindset is a goal mindset, but she went 100% from day 1 and unfortunately a lot of us can do day 1 but be too sore on day 2 and end up giving up super early. The key is to take her tips and mindset and apply it in small amounts at first and develop some habits slowly. Consistency is WAY more important than amount of effort. As long as you keep going, you can expect things to get easier as time goes on

But its not like its stopping you from doing it again? Yes maybe because its discomfort then your MIND tells you to not go there again BUT ITS ALL ABOUT MINDSETTTTT
