I completely agree to you as well... most people show the results... but she shows the entire process of what it is to go through. I really appreciate her genuine personality. And I can totally relate to her because it's the same thing I'm going through.
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great! I have worked as a personal trainer since 2019 and now I have started my youtube channel as I want to help more and more people achieving their goals. I do mostly home workouts and all the exercises that I post are proven and their results are very pleasing. I would appreciate a lot your support by subscribing and maybe you will find something that may help you as well.....
I understand this. Especially the “only chubby girl in the family” because I’m that girl. All my siblings are skinny and I hate being the only chubby one, even my friends. I have tried to lose weight but I gave up right after. But now I’m not going to and I WILL lose weight. For me and my 15 year old self. Like they say it’s either one day or day one.
@@lovelysanatingz4879omg i have the same thing as both of you where im 15 (245 lbs) and i so desperately want to lose weight but its so overwhelming and idk where to start 😭😭
im 15 too and im also trying to get fit and healthy, so far ive lost 5kg in the past few months and i see a bit of change but im going to try and lose another 5kg and start working on my fitness more
Someone in the comments said "You choose how YOU feel in your own body. She did not feel okay in hers, so she changed it. What is wrong with that? This is her diary, it's not instruction for you how to feel about your body." This is what this series is about. This is not for the viewers to FOLLOW. This is for the viewers to be INSPIRED. Just because Alivia achieved a "model body" does NOT mean she did not also learn to have a better relationship with food. With the hard work that she put in after suffering for so long, she achieved the body SHE wanted. I don't have an ED but I still struggle a lot with food and my eating habits. Alivia gives me hope and a place to start my journey.
Agreed, but I think it is important to also work on navigating one's relationship with oneself. Like her said in the end of the video, we all need to learn to enjoy the journey itself, rather than only looking at the result. Enjoying the journey means loving yourself every single day because it is you who are on that journey.
I think many more have a problem with that part with the guy advertising his work out plan and explaining the “science”, which isn’t real and is oversimplified, and can cause people to begin a eating disorder especially since the target audience of Alivias videos are young impressionable women. I don’t blame Alivia she seems like she’s going through something mentally tough but this information and the power she has over her audience makes this video very alarming
I saw some comments saying that some people calling her " toxic" but this is reality i experience this as well. You cant sleep fat and wake up slim and productive. She shows her life struggles and how she cope with these struggles and turned it into a motivation. :(
@@bee2514 Well, I'm talking as someone with an ed. For us, food it's already a weakness, you know? The thing is that what she means is not that she's "weak" when she eats, but she feels unhappy, which droves her to feel weak. That's something comun. She was able to reconcile with food, and that's the encouraging part. She might still be into ed (it's really difficult to get out), but she's able to be in a healthier relationship with food, which it's a huge deal.
@@didy9488 i’m also talking as someone with an ed lmao. her content is just triggering and she has no reason to document her methods and thought process
I watched your most recent video ''how glowing up ruined me'' first, then I watched this video. And its sad to see that most people in the comments lack self worth. They dont feel worthy of themselves when they dont fit into society's standards, thats really sad to see. As I just watched the video you uploaded a day ago, I saw that once you gain weight again you start to feel like a failure. If you dont break this cycle from losing weight subsequently gain weight again to feeling insecure its going to keep repeating, and trust me you really dont want that. So I shortly want to tell what I did. I first began with loving myself and accepting the way I am afterwards I started cutting out bad habits like binge eating etc. I absolutely didn't starve myself, heck no, but I replaced sugary processed foods with healthy ones. I did all of this to be healthy and not to fit in society's standards. I slowly started working out. I didn't rush the process, otherwise I would eventually give up and gain weight again. Slowly I became the healthiest version of myself, without burning out.
This comment deserves so much more recognition. Skinny is not the end goal. Building yourself into the healthiest version of yourself is. And binging is a clear sign you struggle with a healthy sustainable nutrition plan.
I'm also in this process. I changed foods but I still haven't had the strength to start exercising. I was already charging myself, these 2 videos and your comment helped me!
exactly! Cause you shouldn't lose weight bc you want to fit in the ''standards'' believe me, its almost impossible to fit in society's standards these days. If you really want to lose weight your goal should be ''being a healthy person'' cause even if you wouldn't get ''the dream body'', you would still succeed at being the healthiest version of yourself and that is what really matters.@@beeshep
When you said “beauty is the face of someone who cried and now smiles” THAT is what this series is about and it is so beautiful. You radiate joy and it is so inspiring
I cried watching this. It’s the only fitness video ive found that actually discusses the pain of binge eating, failing, getting back up, and all the self hatred. Thank you SO much for sharing. I’ve felt very alone with this for so long.
My god it's like the video is my life story in weight loss. I've been trying to lose weight for years. I've hated my body since I was 11, but only tried to lose weight at 14. It went well. But then it spiralled. Things kept happening, I got kicked out of my mum's, she left and went to another country, so I lived with my dad. Then my mum came back when I was 16, I moved in again, she kicked me out again, she left to another country again, I was left in England. I got cancer, it has ruined my speech and confidence to this day. After that, I fell into depression. My mum came back to England when I was 17, and I went to live in Cyprus with her. That's when I got my eating disorder. It was the only way I could cope. I went from 61kg to 53kg in a matter of less than 2 months. I had bulimia, and atypical anorexia. When we went back to England (I was 18), I decided I didn't want to live with her anymore. I went to live with my dad. After everything that happened, I started to gain weight. I started to binge. Hard. I felt like a failure. I tried to lose weight again, failed. Then I had an ed relapse, which was in February 2020. Then I tried to lose weight again. And again. And again. I've realised that I can't let my eating disorder do what it wants. I have to take weight loss slow, or I'll fall back into binge eating. During the 2020 lockdown, I went up to 70kg. Anyway, I yo-yo'd back and forth between 58 and 65kg for the next year, it felt like torture. Now, 2022, 20 years old. I'm learning to love myself no matter what I look like, but to also care for the body I love. I'm now 54.3kg and man, does it feel good to lose weight slowly. Being consistent really works. I'm going to start cardio soon, then weights. I kind of want a gym membership ngl.
I came to this video intending to purposefully trigger my anorexia bc I felt that I've been "losing progress" lately. Instead this video held a mirror up and showed me exactly why that mindset is unhealthy. I'm trying to recover, and it's videos like this that help me realize exactly how dangerous this is. I'm so glad you managed to get healthy and push past disordered eating as you did it
this video is absolutely everything. i cannot explain to you how badly i can relate to this video. i feel like i may be at the part of my journey where things are starting to click. it's that "keep going" thing... when you keep going for so long, mess up try again, mess up try again, it really does eventually click, and you mess up less, and less, and LESS :)
I’m 11 and I’m crying watching this I realized that I’m beautiful the way I am and I’m not gonna try to lose weight for anyone else except me. This rlly helped me. I’ve tried to work out and stuff but I always quit when my mom or dad gets food that’s not healthy for me. Cause I feel so bad if I don’t eat it.
Don’t push yourself, people at your age need food to grow and function, if you don’t get fed right at that age you’ll have consequences later on in life, food is good for you
Just like the other 2 comments I'll add something, Try to fill your diet with as much Protein and Nutrition rich food as possible(possible as in controlled manner) as you are still growing you need those for Height and muscle and above all for your overall health, be active. one step at a time no need to change your self overnight make it a life style not a one time thing, it's ok to eat fast food but it's not ok to make it a life style, not all calories are the same.😀
@@ananyadutta1154 I said “nobody’s coming to save you. You have to save yourself.” at 4:46 . Then I show the story of how I went to a celebrity fitness trainer and still didn’t achieve my goals. My 18 year old self always thought that if I just had a personal trainer, all my problems would be solved. A personal trainer is extremely motivational but it’s not enough. The key ingredient is your own mindset. The lesson I learned is that you can get the best help and resources in the world, but it does not guarantee success. It is still ultimately up to you to achieve your goals.
Watching this after watching your most recent videos I feel like a lot of the signs of decline are clearly seen. I'm glad you re-visited your why after creating this video and found a real sense of self-worth again after these 3 years. Super proud of you girl, you've got this!
See this is a true example of what a weight loss journey looks like. The pain, the mental distress, contemplating, failure, managing to push through. She has shown a perfect example of what effort can do, what hanging on can do. This is a life milestone, overcoming every seeming burden.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how far Alivia has come and how much effort she puts in everything!? She is such a hard worker. Get some sleep girl, you deserve it.
what lmfao this video is a huge ad for this zim guy and she pushed the upload date back like 4 times because she wasnt finished. she's everything but a hard worker
I have suffered from a form of this self-hatred/disappointment my whole life. I have done unthinkable things to my healthy body simply because it didnt look the way I wanted it to. I am a mom now and my body changed but I think motherhood has healed me somehow. I am grateful I have the body Im in. It has given me so much, so many beautiful walks, has allowed me to feel sweet kisses and hugs, see glorious sunsets and bear healthy children. Now instead of trying to change it, I honor it. I feed it well and take walks and lift weights and run the beach with my children.
the way she said don’t compare her body weight to our own in the beginning and I would still have no clue about how much that is because the only measurement I can comprehend is kg 👁👄👁 Edit: although I still wanna say to Alivia, this is a really incredible video, and I’m really happy for her that she found a happier place within herself❤️
"The thing is with eating is like, once you start, you wanna keep eating. It's hard to cut if off." YES. Wow this was so moving and relatable. Thank you!
girll i felt so bad when u cried over our weight and food 😭 You're so good at not giving up!! i love it how your keep going and not giving up. i dont know what are you doin now but i hope you're doing great❤
This is one of the most inspiring and honest videos I've seen in a long time. It's vulnerable. It's relatable. Thank you for not giving up on yourself and finding new ways to try. I'm the same way, which is what led me to your video. Love it.
I'm SO proud of you Alivia. I know you just dropped this, but you can see how you changed, both mentally and physically and emotionally, and I know a lot of people are following along who are in your boat, including me. I know this took you so many days of no sleep, and now you can rest and be healthy and look after yourself. I really appreciate you being so open and honest with who you are and where you came from and your journey and where you will continue to go. Love ya girl. You're helping and changing so many lives. 💕 I had yet to see someone on RU-vid who was just like me. And who was going through what I was going through. My parents don't understand my bingeing and why I do it, and they tell me to just stop and to eat healthy but it isn't that simple. So thank you once again for showing me it is possible to make a change.
Crying postpartum, what a beautiful video, I don’t think people understand the courage to post something like this and the vulnerability to show your struggles and I’m just sitting at home knowing that other people going through this are not alone 😭💛
True i thoight i was fat then if I see my old pics I'm fine and healthy and now again I see myself in mirror I hate my self.... Now of course overweight... But through out my life I thought I was big but I was not.....
@@averie4959 same for me it started so young in like 4th grade someone made a comment on my thighs and it really opened my eyes to how different I was from the other girls. I started becoming obsessed with working out at such a young age and it makes me sad thinking about it. I see it happening to my younger sister who is only 9 and I don’t want her to fall into the spiral I did
Not only did she give us her vulnerable and authentic weight loss journey but she also educated!! Like girl this video is THE best I’ve ever watched for weight loss it definitely brought me to tears. So proud of journey and never giving up! Instantly subscribing ❤
I've struggled with eating disorders for half of my life. I'm glad that I'm now fully recovered because I know that watching this video when I was recovering would've sucked me right back in. I feel extremely bad about all the people who haven't recovered yet, are struggling with an eating disorder or feel very insecure about them self, knowing that they might end up going through what I did. The internet needs more body positivity videos and videos about mental health. Not videos like this one, a video that focuses on the idea that losing weight itself equals happiness, a video that normalizes talking bad about the way you look.
I've started watching the video and had to stop... I have been struggling with eds for the past 6 years and after many failed attempts I am getting better at recovering since September and like... The way she talks about herself and her parents talk to her is really like hearing myself when I have a bad day and it comes back.
This was the most REAL weight loss journey I’ve ever watched. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open. Also I am so happy for you and am so happy Steve came into your life!!
“you want the journey and not the shortcut” was really beautiful to me. i struggles with eating disorders my whole life and i think it’s beautiful to experience change instead of the unrealistic immediate change.
This is the best video i've ever seen about weight loss journey. You literally discussed every part i am going through and gave me inspiration that yes its possible to meet your goals by consistency and not giving up. Thank you sm for posting this❤
I’ve been fat my whole life, I became really aware during high school and I never looked the same at my face or body. Now I’m in college and I’m so tired of not liking myself. This is so much motivation, thank you.
I kind of turned it all around for myself during the end of my high school days, But then covid hit, some weight gain happened while staying indoors inactive, Then I got the covid itself, unable to eat more than a couple bites every day for few weeks, lost a lot of weight, but binged once covid left as lack of eating and stress all took a toll on me. Gained SOOOO much, that I basically returned to EXACTLY how much I'd lost during that high school time period. I know exactly how to get back on track, but just the thought of, how hard I'd tried, how it all went down the drain, it just demotivated me too much. My mind just went like, what's the use, for all you know if you try really hard it's all only gonna go to waste AGAIN. But yea, 14:46 all that matters is that I'm still trying. Gotta keep trying and never give up. Mental hygiene is in some ways similar to physical hygiene. Can't brush the teeth just once and call it good enough for the rest of the year, gotta brush every single day. Just like that, gotta keep the mindset freshened, motivated and alive every day all over again.
The amount of times I cried while watching this is insane.. I’m only 14 turning 15 and I already cry over my weight and try all different diets, when I saw your video i was looking up videos I could workout to because classmates bully me for my weight.. even now I can’t stop crying to your video.. just thinking how hard it was for you to share is what gets me the most.. your experience makes me motivated to try.. I already eat only 3 meals a day and sometimes one snack, Count calories and more but I don’t move often.. my goal this summer is to change that.. this video is exactly what I needed.. I don’t want to be scared of food, i want to learn to trust myself with food.. I want to do better.. learn better, look better and feel better.. I want to be able to swim with my friends and show more skin.. wear shorts in the summer and feel comfortable around boys.. and this video did so much for me without me even starting.. I really appreciate you.. thank you, thank you so much.❤
This is literally how my Ed started.I thought I was doing so good, I thought I was happier but in reality I was letting the idea of looking a certain way control my whole life, when I wasn’t even that bad to begin with. I couldn’t enjoy holidays, vacations, nights out, etc. Fuck that. I’m not over all of it yet, may never be. I don’t even think this makes sense but this video just has a weird message for me.
@@camilla_helen2447 i agree completely, I shouldn’t have assumed that this was going in a different direction. I’m just tired of the idea that self love must come from weight loss 😪 I know it isn’t always the case, but it keeps happening
@@bunnyeon3258 this shit has so many stages, when I feel that I’m finally over it I find my self panicking over a slice of pizza or a piece of bread. I think is important to know that that’s normal. You got this ❤️
@@erenikorllos9747 66,6 kg Edit: GUYS!! You shouldn't worry too much about this. Weight is just a number, it doesn't define who you are! There are many things more important than your weight. Please be more positive! If you don't feel good about yourself, it's time to change that! Take advantage of 2021 and start your journey. It doesn't matter what kind of goal you want to achieve, but start now! *0 excuses.*
Literally everywhere (or almost everywhere, cause I haven’t done research on it) in the world uses kgs except Americans. 😂😂😂😂 I also had to use a calculator, I’m African 😂
I FREAKIN LOVE THIS I SWEAR ILL SAVE THE VIDEO AND WATCH IT EVERYTIME WHEN I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS GETTING WORSE Thank you very much for giving us all so much inspiration ❤❤❤❤
I think binge eating isn't talked about enough and how difficult it is to live. I've been struggling with it for about 2 years now and I saw myself in you. Thank you for being so open and honest about the reality of it all.
I crossed upon your video in 2024. I thought having break down moments thousands times weren’t normal. But u give me realistic pictures of what the journey should look like. Instead of hoping for instant results
I was wondering this because I want to gain weight and my nose is very bumpy and sticks out so when I gain a few kilos do you think it would fit into my face more?
I got sick and for three years have been stuck with daily pain. I started at120 and I’ve gained 45lbs….I’m losing my control with eating. I needed this video. 💕
I for real started crying because I could relate to everything. I have struggled for the longest time and I’m still on my journey. This video made me so inspired, thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for posting this. I have felt very alone for so long and I’m sick of seeing people talk about weight loss and motivation because it’s so difficult for me.
"i know i'm gonna get through this, i know i'm gonna reach my dream body" girl i've been through this cycle about 7 times since i was 15 and i'm 31 now and i am CRYING now because that is how i feel, again, NOW i'm excited to watch the rest of this because i know my thinking is so disordered
It’s so sad that we waste a lot of our lives feeling this way. It started when I was turning 15 and now I’ll be turning 18. I hope you’re doing better now girl !
@@janessalopezzz actually down about 15 lbs since I posted this - and it’s been very gradual slow and hopefully sustainable weight loss! No where near where I want to be but feeling much better than when I posted this 9 months ago 🥹
This video is not about how she can get a personal trainer especially an A list trainer… the main message is that she transformed and how she fought for herself. Truly amazing story… I struggle for food too :( but great video/journey
3 years ago when I watched this video, I got so determined and motivated to workout and live a healthy and happy life… after 3 years I am back on the same track and don’t have motivation, but now I feel refreshed once again! I am not giving up, I’ll stand up again and I am sure I’ll definitely do it! Thank you for making this ❤
I didn't think anything of this video at first but I'm at the tips part and was already thinking "tomorrow I'm going to cut out sugar". I had to shake myself as I'm actually diagnosed with BED and see a therapist that tells me to do the exact opposite. This seriously needs a trigger warning at the beginning. I don't tend to be the type to be 'overly sensitive' either. This just feel like a video from somebody who doesn't understand the power of the words she using yet.
Hey! I just felt I should let you know that this is not right. Skinny is beautiful too! I know you didn't mean it in that way. You meant all bodies are beautiful. But when you say that it effects skinny people wrong. My best friend is very skinny. She's beautiful but she doesn't think so .in order to pull someone up please don't push others down
@@chaitaniyatiwari3491 thanks for that. People tell me I look like a skeleton or a stick. I've tried gaining weight, but I can't get past 100 pounds no matter how much a binge or weight train. So I stopped trying and I'm happier now. I just accepted that I'm going to be tiny and that's just the way it is. And being tiny is okay.
I cried around 4-5 times watching this, how unkind I have been to myself, to my body, I’ve starved myself, binge ate, cursed myself and what not! I’ll get back to a better lifestyle, a better diet starting today and maintain that to my best. Thanks Alivia, thank you for showing us all your struggles, your journey, it’s nothing less than inspiring, motivating and enlightening; thank you!
Your younger self reminds me of me and it’s both so scary and so comforting to know that someone else knows what I’m going through. Body image issues and eating disorders hurt. Being surrounded by people who seem “flawlessly skinny” but are also just strugglers of the same issue, is such a difficult thing. I hope to one day move past these thoughts or learn how to control them more.

Guys, I just want to let you know alivia is not trying go say skinny/thin equals good or happiness or anything of a positive sort. She's trying to show us importance of continuing to get up even when things are hard. Shes trying to show some of us who struggle with binging or unhealthy eating addictions that we are not alone. She's trying to show that effort is what matters most and everythng will then fall into place. Alivia said that the moment you give up on yourself is when you fail. But as soon as you get back up you HAVE NOT FAILED. This isnt only about weight. It's about fighting for the person you want to be. Alivia reached HER GOAL and she wants us to fight to reach our fitness goals as well. Or even just to be healthy. You saw as alivia started being consistent her whole attitude changed she was dancing around, she didnt frown at her body. YOU COULD SEE THAT SOMETHJNG WAS CHANGING. YOUR FITNESS GOAL can be SO DIFFERENT from hers. She just doesn't want you to lose hope and stop trying because there is a glimmer of hope in trying. Skinny is not happiness - confidence is. Who do you want to be? Ask yourself that question.
@No Name when its presented in such a way its easy to miss the point of this series. But they are important topics to discuss especially when the content is as complex as a healthy mind and body.
I definitely think that the mental episode should’ve come before the physical one. I know that you’ll address it in the next one. But I think it would have been more beneficial to show alongside your training how you stopped the binging cravings. Which was the thing that was holding you down. Putting that to the side made this episode feel incomplete, and confusing. Like you just committed to a training program and that was what saved you. Which I know, it’s not the case. I know that you organize this in chapters. And because the mental part is so important, maybe you would like to give it a whole episode. So you can cover it in detail. But maybe combining the two would’ve worked better. Because in our minds the question was there all the time: What made you actually commit this time and not give up? What made it different this time compared to the other ones? I think maybe that way the message in this episode, and Steve’s lecture, would’ve been properly heard and appreciated. Because is also very valuable information on how to really take care of our bodies. But cutting of the mental/mindset part, made it feel like that.
I’ve came back to your channel to rewatch this series many times. I’m on the same journey, and I keep feeling the same ways you did. I’m really trying, I’m trying to change my binging. I want to get my dream body, but I know I have to unpack my own emotions and see a therapist before I can.
To me Glow Up doesn't mean weight loss(I'm already skinny) , it means glowing up in what's important in my life. Right now, it's studying. This year is gonna be challenging. I will be giving my 10th grade board examinations. The marks will determine my furthur studies. I want this year to be an inspiration for my future self. I want to study, stay healthy, reduce ny screen time and get rid of distractions. In every video, I'll updating my glow up diary, just to be on track. My aim till next video is to reduce screen time to only 2 hr( currently it's 6hr :(
I’ve been struggling with my weight and health ever since I was a little kid. I’m currently 15 and in this last year it’s really hit me harder than ever before especially with many of the adults around criticizing me and making uncomfortable comments. I really just want to thank you for sharing your journey, I feel like I’ve been failing so many times as well especially during vacations, holidays, and stressful school days. I know other people struggle too, but it still felt lonely since no one talks openly about it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤
Rewatching this crying because I'm at a horrible point in my life emotionally and physically. The only good thing going on right now is my kids, I needed that re-see this so badly.
I feel you. Just think about your kids. You'd die for them right? So live for them. Take care of yourself so you can live longer to be in their lives. Sending love and light 💙
I have never EVER seeing a channel that puts this dedication on every video, she's also of the most realistic people on social media I swear most of her videos make me cry, she's really smart and so she give us beautiful and inspirational words and quotes that makes us see life different, I wish she could know how thousands of people are benefiting from only seeing her through a screen
Some parts in this little docu-series had me in tears and for someone (ofc like me) I’ve been called names like. “Gordita” but now I just realize it makes me feel like I’m not doing something right and you put your struggles,and your transitions and all of your feeling and emotion into it and I appreciate that and since we have the same body type or when you did have it I want to be just like you because if you can do it I can too and I appreciate you motivating me to start this again I’ll come back to this video and tell you my journey have a blessed day/night🤍 (Before edited)
@@Coolcat-lo4zt I been wondering how a college student can afford renting a whole ass fancy apartment, go on trips, eat out a lot, and afford gym/ trainer... I was broke in college and I worked a lot.
im 149 ibs and i relate to this oh so much. i have a condition and my body can't burn sugar fast, i gain weight immidetaly and losing is hard even though i dont eat much. ive been struggling with my body image my whole life, all my friends are family are skinny so even though i am not that fat i still feel ugly and worthless and that i dont deserve to be loved and desired. because there will always be a skinny girl with a better personality than me and i can never compete. i hate this mindset but i cant help but to think like this everytime i see a beautiful, skinny girl. i know just losing weight will not completely erase my weak self worth and insecurities but i hope that it will help and i will have the body i dreamt of since forever.
A 14 year old girl already stuggling with weight??? Whatt girl u need to focus on ur nutrition before doing any misleading diet. I've been there before and it causes me to stop growing, hair loss, and anemia. Please maintain your nutrition more than ur weight. All love❤️
@@jojo-fj7lw i’m 13 and i’ve been struggling with it ever since i was 9 it’s such a big part of my life now and i subconsciously think about it all the time
Listen to me when I say this: DO NOT try dieting before ur actually 17 or 18. You're still growing. The only thing you'll do is stunt your growth. U might feel like it's the end of the world right now, but it's not. Your life barely even started. Teen series and movies have sold u the wrong idea that the most important stage of life is high school. They're wrong. Trust me when I say college and the life after would be far more memorable for u than high school. I used to be really chubby during high school. I weighed 150 lbs. Then I hired a personal trainer in my senior year and managed to lose 33 lbs in 8 months. Glad i didnt do it when I was younger because it was HARD to keep up with when ur surrounded w a family that barely ate healthy and didn't have a job. To try then would be to uselessly torture myself.
Confusing message tho because it’s all about an all round glow up (mentally and physically) but then Steve talks about aesthetics and symmetry like celebrities in films which isn’t realistic😖 I loved this episode up until that point. Steve obviously does an amazing job, but there’s a reason why celebrities got to him trying to change their body for an upcoming role (not real life!!).
Yeah this is true I felt kinda sad cause the sort of mind set Steve has about fitness didn't really fit into the whole premise of her series. Alivia was aiming for lifestyle changes that last forever and Steve's program is just a quick fix. I mean if it worked for her that's great but tbh the episode kinda feels out of place
yeah i wish that steve didn't take up half the video. it doesn't seem that personal to me. i love alive and i was so excited for this but.. idk not what i was expecting
@@Meep295 if you mean “of course he will speak about aesthetics” because he’s a celebrity trainer , I understand what you’re saying but there’s definitely a contrast of “beauty is on the inside” and “you want to aim for symmetry like you see in the movies”
@@Georginaluce I meant that hes a personal trainer mostly specialising in training celebrities and actors for movies. That kind of training is mostly about aesthetics and symmetry. It's not about being strong, it's about looking strong. Therefore you shouldn't be surprised when he talks about aesthetics
eh my dad said he saw I gained some weight when I came home from college 7 ish years ago and I didn't take it personally and started working out. Realized how much I loved the gym and haven't stopped going since then. I don't mind the honesty as long as its not meant to be malicious.
I’m 13 yrs old and I hate myself, since Covid I gained a lot of weight and now I have to go to high school, I fear of being bullied and shamed and I js wanna be like everyone els. I’ve been trying so many different things to lose weight and idk part of me wanted to give up but I wasn’t bc I’m too stubborn too but, this rlly showed me to not hate myself and not give up bc I can do it. Thank u Alivia, and Steve.❤
You've always been beautiful, Alivia. It's so rough watching someone so young struggle with disordered eating. I'm glad you're doing better now. You're the most beautiful you have ever been.
Ugh that scale section brought back some memories. I was working with a personal trainer who had the same kind of vision as Steve and I was down from XL shirt and size 20 pants to a M shirt and size 16 pants. My mental health was the best it’s ever been and I felt absolutely amazing. But the scale never budged a pound over the course of that year. My controlling ex forced me to quit with my trainer because she wasn’t “effective” and now here I am a few years later back up 30 lbs and feeling like absolute crap. I’m starting back with the same trainer next month and it should go a lot differently now that I’ve lost 130 lbs of dead weight (my ex)
Your video showed up in my feed so I decided to watch it bc I’m struggling to lose weight - again. In 2017 at age 46, I joined Weight Watchers and lost 30 lbs! I was so proud of myself and I looked and felt amazing. But then life got crazy, Covid happened plus having a teenage daughter got me stressed out and depressed and I gained 22 lbs back 😭 But watching this video, especially Steve’s segments, made me have an a-ha moment. I’m in menopause now and have no muscle mass. I’ve been feeling so weak and Steve explained why. That 30 lbs I lost was probably my muscle mass bc I lost the weight without ever exercising. It was all about what I ate and the number on the scale. They never taught me about weight training and losing muscle. I’m so mad. So here I am now, trying to gain more muscle mass so I’m not a fragile old lady in 20 years. I’m so thankful that I watched your video and had that a-ha moment. I get it now and I know what I have to do. I’m gonna try to cut out gluten and sugar as much as possible and up my protein to feed my new muscles. Wish me luck! 🙏🏼💪🏼
Ok, but all we see is a girl binging with mcdonald's wrappers around her and then a skinnier (healthier?) version of the same girl after working out. Alivia, I love your narration but images are your form of story telling and for this episode at least, it doesn't address your current relationship with food, how its changed, what you eat now, and how you progressed to this point. Also how you "cured" your ED. Are you seeing a therapist, and if not then how did you transform your mindset and associations? Or do you continue to battle your unhealthy thoughts everyday and how do you deal with that? I think its understandable why people feel concerned or have been triggered by this episode in particular. Supposedly your next part will address the aforementioned questions and I'm excited to see your journey. I've always been interested in Steve Zim's workout plans so I for one am quite excited to try ATUmobile but I can also see why people would feel a bit tricked like this was just an ad.
I think you are correct and all but you probably don't even watch her instagarm lives. She WILL COVER ALL HER NUTRITION SIDE after getting over these first few parts/episodes. her season isn't just these 2 episodes. She cuts out sugar from her life and is pro NOT RESTRICTING yourself. She will get into all those details later! She will also get into the secret behind fasting and doing it healthily and not in a way where you starve yourself.
if she doesn’t see a specialist there is the real reality she’s going to develop into someone that struggles with a restrictive disorder. she’s been like this for a long time, losing weight is simply not going to ‘fix’ her.
I think the problem with Alivia is she lacks being informative to us. She's just so busy editing her episodes that she doesn't let ppl know more info in case they misunderstand her and start to nitpick at her. A ton of people here commenting even on ep 1 are obviously not following her on ig or watching her lives a few months back. There is a lot of behind the scenes of Alivia and she has a ton to give out in season 2 that she's doing it by chapters.
Wow. This is the most inspiring video I have ever seen. I haven’t related to a video so much , and I love how real this is . Many people are scared to upload authentic videos. But this is incredible. You should be so proud of yourself. Please don’t be so hard on yourself , you have the most beautiful soul I’ve ever seen ❤
Diets are never the way to go. It’s totally okay to eat rice and eat bread, just eat it in moderation. Stay hydrated, get your muscles working. You’re beautiful no matter what ❤
Maybe in some cases, but definitely not always. For example I have a problem with overeating sweets, so it’s much easier for me to completely cut them out than to “eat on moderation”, because once I begin it’s really hard for me to stop
Hell yes. I think that she is on the other extreme, she pushes herself too much and as soon as she will gain weight she will binge again. I was there. I starved myself,(I know she is not starving herself) I was making lots of exercises and i was unhealthy, and as soon as I gained 3 kgs, in the next three months I gained another 25 kgs because I hated myself. Now I'm in a good place, I am healthy but speaking of her...I fear that she will be underweight some day or, she will binge again...
I cried watching this cuz ppl don't know how it feels to be like that , and how hard and difficult to change our lifestyle! Fighting everyone we can do it !!
You can do this!! I believe in you. I was at around your weight and I lost 7kg already. If I can do it, you can too! It’s hard but not impossible. We are in this together!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS. i been wanting to share a weight loss journey but once i got to my goal weight, i thought i was good like steve explains in the video and i started eating like how i was before. I didn’t add onto my workouts and i gained my weight back. I’m ready to start again, YOURE BEAUTIFUL KEEP UP THE HARD WORK
