4:49 How I failed with a celebrity fitness trainer
13:11 How I finally succeeded
14:33 Transformation results
17:41 Some advice that helped me succeed
To clarify any confusion: I did in person training sessions with Steve but failed because of my mindset. If you want to know the story behind what happened when I trained with Steve, watch Glow up Diaries Season 2, Episode 4 (this episode will be out soon)
Then the pandemic hit so I left Steve’s gym. I gained more weight during the pandemic and reached the heaviest weight I had ever been. I then went on to do Steve’s online workout program (ATUmobile.com) at home during the pandemic when gyms were closed and that's when I finally succeeded!

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.

[@beeshep]

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.

[@elisesiklosi6862]

I just did the same thing!

[@LadyLyn1234]

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!

[@nvrrtmnty]

i came here after watching that video as well. you worded my exact same feelings, couldn't have said it any better.

[@saffaali-uw1ex]

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

[@Ravioliyt]

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.

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.

[@sanfengmiao5367]

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.

[@buns5598]

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

[@soybean3423]

Same here. Food/sugar addict for 15 years. I feel like I finally clicked thanks to my nutritionist/personal trainer. I only wanted the personal training but she didn't give me a choice, she said I had to change my food habits, and of course I already knew this, but the fact that she is so strict and asks me to show her my food diary every time we meet, somehow makes me stick to a diet for the first time! The food diary is like a report card that I have to hand to a parent and I'm anxious for their reaction. It's absolutely ridiculous, when you think about it, because I wanna get healthy FOR ME, not for someone else. It's not rational at all, but we humans tend to be much less rational than we would like 😂 I hope you will find your way to change, good luck!

@@happyattaway Cool! Let me know how it works out ;) To be sure: before going to the nutritionist, I was doing what I called a 'gradual diet' where I gradually made healthier choices. The biggest hack for me to escape the sugar addiction was to choose ONE high-sugar snack, not my favorite one, but just one that I thought tasted 'pretty OK': for one week, that snack was my ONLY snack but I ate as much as I wanted. I actually gained weight by doing this, but after doing this, it became much easier to replace this unhealthy snack with a healthier one (low cal fruit yoghurt with sugar-free muesli). That was the first step of my gradual diet and I would recommend it to people who cannot quit sugar cold turkey. I wish you good luck!

You are so correct. That kind of thinking controlled me as well for over 20 years. It was awful!!!

women are just really sensitive with food

@Laura Die Waldfee they aren't fat shaming her. She has expressed she is not happy with what she looks like and they are trying to help her better herself. Heck even the VIEWERS can see how sad she is with how she feels in her body. This video literally shows you how gross she felt and unmotivated she was and now she feels better.

[@ananyadutta1154]

She can't be any more right to say "Nobody's coming to save you. You have to save yourself".

[@aliviadandrea]

@@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.

I love how you were more upset about the thanksgiving “cheat” day than Steve was. He explained it pretty well. At the beginning of this video, I didn’t see a chubby girl. I saw a healthy lean girl. But because your relationship with food changed, your body started to change. This proofs to me that healthy weight loss isn’t about how much you work out or how less you eat. It’s basically about your relationship with food and your body. If you have a healthy relationship where you take care of your body it will have a positive effect on weight loss.

[@why.do.I.even.try.]

So trueee, I saw myself as fat for years, body dysmorphia since 11, and then I put on weight as a result of my weird relationship with food during high school due to stress/binge eating

[@dpbass8898]

Girl, you can be so proud of yourself! Not only bc of your physical transformation, but for everything you managed to change! Most people don't see that changing your mindset is often the first step to change bad habits etc. And you are so young and done all that mainly by yourself! I've been through a similar journey, but it took me longer I feel to get to a better place. Your video is amazing and so powerful! 💕

[@Hdddysk]

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.
