AFAIK she has never mentioned purging. She mentions having "flirted" with restriction before the glow up diaries, but thats about the extent of it.
Alivia has never once mentioned the exact number of calories she attempted to "restrict" to that then caused the binge eating episodes. It honestly must be something very low (<800 calories a day) to create such horrible binge eating as a backswing to the restriction. People who do say.. 1200-1400 restrictions are far less likely to binge because their body is getting good enough nutrition (assuming you are female and a certain height). Combined with her negative and incorrect views/opinions about eating (cancel all junk food, eat only healthy, etc) it makes sense that she is basically developing an eating disorder at this point, if she has not already developed one.
She probably will not "go the way of Eugenia" because if Alivia was diagnosed with something it might be EDNOS. Definitely not anorexia by the DSM standards.
If you go further back on Alivia's youtube channel, you can see the following video:
This video isn't interesting at all, but it does show video of her approximately 7 years ago. You can see from the dancing videos she was actually quite thin then.. so something happened between here and when she started the glow-up diaries ( 2018 ). I'd say this "flirtation" with restriction probably started from dancing as dancing is notorious for causing eating disorders, alongside other similar activities like ballet, figure skating, and rhythmic gymnastics. She probably has been swinging back and forth between restriction and binge eating for awhile.
Someone (maybe me) could comb through her oldest videos and probably pin point the exact moment she started to really lose track. I think its somewhere around 2017.
