I have the same kind of problem with my body change after high school. Your talk made me feel better. I felt alone with this problem. So thankful that you shared it with us. Sending love from Poland
bro i needed this. i’m sitting here feeding my new baby with my own body, yet every day i have a hard time looking in the mirror and coming to terms with my vessel now, but remembering that heavenly father designed each one of us to be unique, is AMAZING and so helpful. you’re awesome marla 🖤
Girl…post high school weight gain is so normal yet no one talks about it! I swear women go through a 2nd puberty when you’re a late teen/early 20s. I’m 25 and I’ve had a baby, I take way better care of myself now than I did in highschool but I still find myself looking back at photos like “oh I looked so much better then.” Our bodies will change all throughout our life and while it’s hard to accept, it’s better to accept it and move on than to constantly be trying to chase a body we may never have. You’re so beautiful! Taking care of yourself is the most important thing❤
Thank you for talking about the weight gain after high school. I have been feeling the exact same way as you. I am so thankful that you talk about these types of things as an influencer. I am also 19 and have been growing up watching you since 7th grade. Good luck on your new journey. So many people are supporting and praying for you!
I seriously look up to you so much and I am so graceful for your example. You are the only influencer I like to keep up with because you are so genuine and positive! I love following you and literally trust you with my life..😂
I'm actually kind of thrilled for you. I'm much older than most of your other fans but I have so much respect for you for making such an exciting adventure at your age.
The way Marla thinks about things is really cool. I like her kinda rambling moments, it makes me feel like I’m just talking to my friends and family, not just watching a video. ❤
Marla thank you so much for being vulnerable about your experience with your body. I have gone through a really similar experience the past two years. I’ve gained quite a bit of weight and have had to navigate loving my body for what it is right now and not what I wish it was. no matter the number on the scale or the size of my clothes. I’ve had to learn that body change is normal at my age (I’m almost mid twenties) and hearing that someone else is going through the same thing is so comforting. Also your Jo West clothing has been so fun for me to purchase and wear because I love how I look and feel in them!!
i needed to hear what you said about gaining weight and just making sure you’re healthy and feeling good. i’ve gained some weight since I graduated and i’ve felt the need to lose the weight because i’m not like how i used to be, but you’re so right. i just need to make sure i’m healthy and just accept change and know that it’s normal! love your channel, Marla!! 🤍
marla, thank you for the discussion about body acceptance and weight gain after high school. i went somewhat of the opposite direction after high school and developed an eating disorder about a year ago and am now in the process of reversing that and inevitably gaining weight. i’m ready to have a good relationship with food again and that comes with possible weight gain which is scary, but i’m ready for it.
I’m doing ilp next semester so I would really love and appreciate a like haul, even if they’re not new, just stuff you’re packing, and like what clothes and outfits you want to wear in Thailand and where to get similar clothes. Or even a cute little look book🤪
Girl I compare myself to myself SO MUCH. It's not even other people it's literally my past self. Ironically fall of 2020 too. But we're meant to change!
Thank you so much for talking about the post-high school weight gain! I agreed with everything you said and it helped me so much!! I needed to hear this today!
I think we all have a misconception that we will have the same physical aspects after high school but i think its okay that we did because nobody really tells us that we’ll go through another puberty faze. I am glad that you’re using your platform to share this because if I was younger than you, I would also try to accept changes of body at younger age so when I get older it won’t take a toll on me. In the end, we will continue to be beautiful in the different stages of our lifetime.
Marla i graduated at age 16 (took like 2 gap years haha) and did not ever expected the second puberty to hit me at ages 19-22 but yes you’ll keep growing into an adult till then but realize that it all “grows on you” you’ll realize thats you now and you won’t want to go back to before, just because the new body represents your present mature self and your teen one like a past personality. And yes the exact thing happened to me with meals. This self thought helps you later on help younger ones and your own little ones to adjust to life
Hi marla!! i just wanna say i loved this video & i can relate soooaur much to what ur going they at the moment. im preparing to leave on a mission to paraguay in december. im also super bummed to miss out on the holiday season with my family this year, but we’re also trying to make the most of it for the time we have together. lastly, i have totally been feeling the same about my body this past year. going thru body changes after graduation has been so tough to deal with, but hearing u talk about it & having all my same feelings being eloquently described by u just made me feel so understood. i hope u have the best time in thailand (that program sounds awesome & id love to have that opportunity when i return from my mission it sounds amazing!) love ur content so much! we’ll all miss u🤍🤍😊
Love you Marla!! I’ve struggled with weight fluctuations. I used to do sports in high school and college and now my body has changed and it was weird to get used to. Thanks for sharing your story
Marla, oh my gosh, I feel like that too. I have been struggling a lot lately with the relationship I have with my body. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings, & this is something I really needed to hear right now.🫶
Funny how I think that I'm the only one with weight gain after high school and corona, and I feel so annoyed by myself because I haven't done anything about yet and I go around all day judging myself about it. I hate it. Hearing you talk about helps a lot. Watching your video I was like wait how is it that I feel the exact same way ❤ Thank you for sharing - Love from Denmark
Hey Marla! I’ve been struggling for the past two years with horrible hormonal acne…but 6 months ago I cut out seed oils from my diet and I have never felt better! My acne is so minimal now it’s amazing. I’d say give it a try and see if it helps…love you! ❤
It’s so funny that you think your house isn’t aesthetic, because I always watch your & your moms videos wishing my house was decorated like yours! That goes to show that not everything on the internet is 100% raw & realistic😅 I also really appreciate the story about your teacher, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately & I am going to take the advice! Thank you for sharing your life with us, and being vulnerable!!
Hey Marla, we’re the same age so it’s been cool to watch your channel (been watching since freshman year in high school with the ‘ “get ready with me’s”) You’re one of the RUclipsrs I could most relate to, even now. I still live with my family who I love spending time with and go to a college here in town. I’ve gained weight too, from being super fit playing soccer and track to gaining near 25 pounds. I feel really uncomfortable sometimes and totally understand comparing yourself to your old self, but it was comforting to hear people share the same struggles and your mindset towards it was super positive :-) Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in Thailand!! Is it like a mission trip or moving? (If you don’t mind me asking) Either way what an amazing experience ! -lexi
I can totally relate to lack of confidence due to weight gain and comparing yourself to how you looked previously. I'm dealing with that rn because I've gain some weight in my last yr of college and when I started dating my boyfriend. I am trying to be more healthier by being more active and want to make lifestyle changes although I get down when I don't notice any difference
Maybe a few meals that make you feel good! Cuz I’ve also been feeling like what I’ve been eating has been making me feel crappy and lethargic and Ik when I eat healthier foods it makes me feel so much better!
Hi Marla! I know you are a women of faith and so am I. I struggle with my body image and weight as well and comparison. What helped me out if those negative thoughts is this bible verse “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:14) I say that scripture every single morning to remind myself that I am beautiful in the eyes of god and that’s all that matters! No matter how my body looks, my soul knows that I am wonderfully made.
Last year I was at my skinniest, this year I’m at my biggest no matter what I do to change it, as you get older these things happen but at least I’m still swag 😅
I’m suffering with post school weight LOSS😭 I’m 5’4 and 99 pounds and I feel like skin and bones, I used to be 125 and looked so cute and healthy :( but I need to learn to accept how my body fluctuates
Coming from a mid 20s girl - you will never keep your body you had at 18/19. I am permanently 5-7 kilos heavier than I used to be back then but I am also more mature so way more confident. But I was the same in teens/20s, aaaaalways wanted to change until I just became comfortable and happy
your hair might be getting too used to the shampoo and conditioner you use if you have used it for a while. that maybe be why you feel its greasy after washing it
Best tip - throw out the scales girl! Weight is the most irrelevant thing. Muscle weighs more than fat, and our body is made up of organs etc that all weigh something! You are beautiful.
You are still beautiful! I don’t think you look any different than you did in high school tbh I didn’t even notice any weight gain! But I’ve noticed I’ve lost some baby fat I’m 18 and I feel like I looked better at 15 lol I hate my body it’s super scrawny and I don’t have any muscle lol but I’m working with it

I feeling the same !! I'm comparing a lot !

it’s crazy to me that people the same age as me have it in them to move across the world to a country they’ve never experienced
I'm Thai. I'm very excited that you will come to Thailand. May I ask where are you going in Thailand? >
We love longgg video😍😍
Maybe a few meals that make you feel good! Cuz I’ve also been feeling like what I’ve been eating has been making me feel crappy and lethargic and Ik when I eat healthier foods it makes me feel so much better!
