I watched this video because I want to start a new lifestyle and when she said "look in the mirror and say your beautiful and believe it" I did It straight away and randomly started crying because I realised that was the first time I've ever said it and believed it ...
I'm actually still doing it! It's hard in the beginning, but I don't even want anything sweet anymore and my body is craving movements like running or simple exercises.
My new years resolution is to find myself again. After a few years with depression and anxiety im so ready to come back to my life and be happy, i need to Get up and out, i need to se all of those who cares about me, and i need to appreciate what I have
my new years resolution is to be clean & happy. clean as in: organized, refreshed, drink alot of water, eat clean, have a clean phone & laptop, etc. and just be happy. seperate myself from negativity and just live for myself. :) love you mere!
I come back to this video every time I feel sad or hopeless. You are helping me so much and I don't know where I would be without you. If you see this (I don't really think so) just know that you made my life better and me happier, thank you Meredith❤️
this is was amazing. usually when RUclips videos say "healthy" it's all about fitness and eating. but this was so nice it's mostly about mental health and it's great to hear someone being so positive! thank you for this inspiring video❤️
my New Years resolution is to be more confident & accept myself, and compliment others more often because I know that getting a simple compliment on something as simple as my makeup really makes my day and makes me more confident throughout the day :)
this video actually made me cry...I have been going through a tough time and when she told me to treat myself right, it inspired me to think about myself in a positive way. Mere, if you read this...thank you so much. ily ❤
I have two, two big ones One of mine is to live, I'm still young and i have my whole life ahead of me, it's time for me to break the walls that I have surrounded around myself, to get out of my room aka the place I've been cooped up inside for the last couple years and do something with my life, there are children in hospital wishing they could have a life like mine, I can be breathe, I can run freely and I have multiple opportunities right in front of me, waiting to be taken, yes the world can be cruel but it can also be beautiful and its up to us as people to change the negative things into positive things because when you actually look around and take a close look, this world we live in could be improved so much more. The second thing is to realize that it's okay, it's okay to get angry and its okay to get sad, it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry but also realize that it's also okay to be happy, to reward myself and to love myself, the only thing that is not okay
Is to give up because if you give up then I will letting them win and by them I mean all the people who ever doubted me, the people who said "this chubby girl won't be able to do it, she can't run for her life and she wouldn't be able to last a day without junk food" the people who said "she's from a small town, a poor family, she won't be going anywhere in life" Twitter - YikesNikki
My new years resulation: - start my life with a healthy lifestyle - get my ass off my room, my laptop, phone and go outside and see the beautiful world, talk with people and make friends - be grateful of everything - stay positive and be happy
For some reason I started crying when you said "treat yourself like your best friend" because I've been treating myself like my worst enemy in the past couple of years. My eating habits have gone from one extreme to another and today i made the decision to finally recover from bulimia for real. I've been trying to recover for more than half a year now but it isn't working at all. I think I might try to approach every single day with the "treat yourself like your best friend"-mindset ♥️
My New Years resolution is to be stronger. I'm a single mom and my sons father is completely out of the picture. My son has ADHD and requires a different type of parenting than other children. I want to be the best mom as possible for him and to be a good example.
My new years resolution is - have enough sleep -start a healthy diet - to have better grades -excel in something I'm passionate about - live in the moment - to be productive every single day - to not waste the 365 chances I have - save money - fulfill the plan to save money to buy food for the childrens on the street - make my mom proud - to follow all your tips because its inspirational thank you meredith you made me smile when I watched the video I really need those tips of yours love yoy with all my heart mere! Pease keep on having this kind of videos.
my new years resolutions are: -to be happier -to lose weight (I have about 10kg left until I'm at a healthy weight ) -study more and do better at school -spend more time out of my room/house
I love this video the most, and I've watched it for so many times without getting bored. Whenever I feel depressed or tired, I turn it on and watch it. Thanks for inspiring me to live better ❤️❤️❤️
My new years resolutions are self-acceptance and the gift of forgiveness. I recently started attending this church program that taught me how important it is to love yourself and forgive others and ourselves for making mistakes because at the end of the day we are NOT perfect. Over the year of 2014 I was sexually abused, and I filled myself with so much hate and disgust that made me a very nasty and bitter person. I was very hateful and unforgiving in 2015, and I hope to turn over to a new leaf, with a fresh start in 2016 and learn to self love, and grow from my past. Everyone whose reading this should know how important it is to love yourself, and remember that there are many people out there that love YOU. xoxo Bianca
"Be happy with what you have while you're working for what you want." -Meredith Foster 2016 THIS YEAR... IS OUR YEAR. Man I love you Mere. That's litierally one of my favorite quotes from you.
She is such an inspiration to many, like myself, who struggle with self hatred and anxiety. Year after year I try to get into shape. Every single year I have gained nothing but weight. I really want to make this change for the better.
My New Years resolution is to have confidence !! I'm always judging myself and I finally realized that if I compare myself with every girl I'll never be happy! Like you said "you are beautiful in your own definition" thanks mere 💗💗✨
My New Years resolution is to live my life the way I want to without worrying about what other people would think about it. Experimenting with clothes and style, and just not giving a damn if people like it or not. That sounds amazing to me :)
MEREDITH I REALLY REALLY HOPE YOU SEE THIS COMMENT BUT I WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS VIDEO, WHAT YOU SAID, BROUGHT ME TO TEARS, IM NOT LYING, I HAVE TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY CHEEKS, BECAUSE YOUR WORDS MADE ME SO HAPPY, THIS VIDEO REALLY MOVED ME BECAUSE OF THE TOUGH TIME I AM GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, THIS GIVES ME SO MUCH INSPIRATION AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LENDING THE SUPPORT UPON YOUR WORDS. I WROTE DOWN THE NAME OF THIS VIDEO FOR MYSELF FOR ANYTIME THAT IM STUCK AGAIN AND NEED SOME MOTIVATION. MOST VIDEOS OR READINGS DONT EASILY MOTIVATE ME TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON. I AM REALLY THRIVING TO BECOME A POSITIVE AND HAPPY PERSON AGAIN LIKE I WAS. THIS VIDEO AND YOUR WORDS MOVED ME AND PUSHED ME TO BE THE HAPPY PERSON I USED TO BE BUT ALSO A NEW AND IMPROVED BEING, SOMEONE WHO IS HEALTHY ALL AROUND. I LOVE YOU MERE AND I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU MAKING THIS VIDEO. I HOPE I DIDNT DISTURB YOU WITH ALL OF MY DEEP WORDS OR SAYINGS AND MOST OF ALL I HOPE YOU READ THIS SO YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A POSTITIVE EFFECT ON PEOPLE.
My big resolution is to be healthy and more positive. I'm really stressed person and I have anxiety. I'm always super terrified of daily things that normal people do without problems. So I'm trying to change it all this year.
Fransesca Machand I feel you, anxiety sucks and I believe in you, I hope you have an amazing year and hope you remember to breathe and tell yourself everything is temporary. (:
My New Years Resolutions 1) Eat healthier 2) Keep making videos on my RUclips channel 3) Think positively 4) Make more friends 5) Inspire people 6) Go to the 5sos concert ;) 7) Be a better singer and guitarist 8) Speak fluent English 9) Find my soulmate (hopefully) 10) Be happy
+Julie Cuyvers YEAH!! I love them so much!! I'm glad you're going too :) I mean I don't even know you but I already like you hahah hope you have a awesome time there!!
My new years resolution is to enjoy every single moment of my life. Last year I have been so stressed out because of school and everything but I have always told me that better days will come soon but not actually did something for it! I want to better organize my life so that there are certain things in my week that I can be looking forward to which motivates me and cheers me up when I am about to break apart. Also I don't want to be wishing for things that I held for necessary and that also pulled me down because I was not able to get it. For example a relationship I was so stupid thinking how happy I could be in a relationship seeing all that tumblr couples that I got unhappy. I realized that I have to stop thinking about things that are missing in my life but being happy with what I have and what I am able to do and not always blaming myself for being me. And I really want to thank you for your videos Mere, seriously! You keep me going and always make me smile with your soulfulness!
In 2015 I lost everything, all my money (gov made a mistake and I have to pay for it literally.), got sick (epilepsy&PTSD) lost my job (didnt renew my contract), my best friend broke my heart (moved to israel without saying goodbye to me), my dog died (she had epilepsy and didnt stop) after all these things I, got into huge depression. So 2016 I am moving back into my parents home (just did) going to make my own room again next week, in two weeks I am starting college, and got a part time job cleaning, got a new pet dog from my parents and things are finally looking up again, so 2016 will be about me and rebuilding...after all that I lost... that laptop would be really helpful for college in two weeks I cannot afford one.
i cutted two "friendships". they "pushed" me into smoking (cig's and weed), alcohol, staying out too long and just stuff like that. the gave me the feeling that i'm cool and that i'm really into the squad and blah blah blah but actually the just pushed me down and i'm so glad that i don't spend any seconds of my life with them anymore. i don't smoke, i don't drink alcohol and i don't stay out for so long. i started working out, eat healthy and be around healthy spirits. i feel so freaking good! i'm not down anymore, i'm just happy! i live my life to the fullest.
I did the same. Its so much easier to quit bad habits when you're not surrounded by people who have the same bad habit. This is one tip I'd give everyone, just leave it behind you. It's hard at the beginning but after a while you will look at them and think how dumb and not cool their behave is.
sophia R. yup. I see them everyday at school and I just laugh about them 'cause they're just childish and dumb. I'm glad you were strong like me and quitted it, not everyone can do it.
You are so inspiring. I was bullied all through primary school and the names they called me kind of got to me, so this video really helped me realise that I am a good, strong, happy and kind person and you helped me learn how to love who I am. Thank You Mere!
Whenever I feel sad or need inspiration I always come back here. This is possibly the best video on RUclips. Thank you for promoting mental health as well because to be healthy physically, you need to be healthy mentally and I'm happy this video shows that instead of "dieting" and other ways to get "healthy". Your video is very inspiring so thank you for lifting me (and many others) up
My new years resolution is to treat everyone around me with love and respect, to be a loyal friend, to take tons of pictures, to do more yoga, and to not expect too much of myself! 😊
This video always inspires me to keep moving forward and achieve the things I'm striving to do. Merideth if you ever see this you have inspired me in so many different ways. I'm going to create my own RUclips channel and do what I love no matter what anyone else thinks! Love you so much!😊
Thank you Mere. I really needed this. Not the getting in shape and looking like a model or anything, but rather the mental game. I need to let go of the toxic people in my life, the ones who leave me out, make me over think literally everything i do because it is not approved by them. I need to take control of the situation and just let go. Maybe it's not the beginning of a new year right now, but it's never too late to make changes and get the treatment I feel I deserve. Thank you
this is my first time watching her and im very happy to see that she includes mental health in this. state of mind is just as important and possibly even more.
My New Years resolution is to be happy with by self and my body because I've always been self conscious and I really want to just stop that and stop putting myself down about everything and focus on more important things in life 💗
OK NAH NAH THIS INTRO NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION LIKE YASSSS SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. my resolution is to be more healthy and this video inspired me to do so!!!! i love you mere!!!!!
I didn't have any New Years resolutions but this video made me want to actually set a true goal and to make 2016 my year... I love you, thank you :) ❤️❤️❤️
I saw her first time on youtube for like 2 years ago. I already have a tons of compliments on her using my new account that I'm using right now. But still, I wanted to say this. The first video that I watched from her is the Locker Organization. At first, I really hate her. I even compare her videos to Bethany's. But then the time goes then ended up liking her. I didn't watch her videos like for 2 years!! Seriously!! I'm so sad because the wifi removed. So now I'm getting back and I was so blown away!! OMG she turned even more beautiful!! Her teeth, her body, her skin, basically she's flawless! Flawlessness is everywhere!! And she's rich like she's so perfect!! While me, looking like a potato. I wish I had her life. I also love her motivating videos! Everyday, Mere inspire and motivate me! My dream and goal is to be a famous and a positive youtuber, so hopefully.. PS. I love you Mere!
I love how this vid was all about how to feel better inside and out and create a better wellbeing as opposed to 'here's how to lose weight super fast' etc etc. Mere you are a beautiful inspiration thank you!!
i am older Meredith and was recently introduced to your vlogs. Your messages are amaxing. I currently have a circle of toxic friends and your right i need to dump them and find new friends. Your advice can help all ages and just wanted to thank you.
My New Years Resolution is to become a United States Navy Sailor. Since I am graduating high school this year, I needed to find something to do, so I'd have a future. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, but last summer my older brother joined the Army, and I also have a ton of friends and family in the military, so since I had no clue what I want to do in college, I decided I want to join the military. I just really want to make a difference in peoples lives and my own life, and make my family, friends and country proud. Hopefully by the end of 2016 I'll be a Navy Sailor.
+Layla River Thank you so much! My entire life most people I know told me my dreams are unrealistic, and to just stop trying. It's extremely hard to try to make your dreams come true when everyone around you is telling you that, "you'll never graduate high school", "you'll never get a job", "you'll never be good enough" But what I do, is just ignore those people, and think of how good it will feel when I finally prove them wrong. I've had my own parents tell me that I wasn't going to graduate high school, but here I am, with 130 days left of school, on honor roll, with 23.25 credits, and out of a family of 6 kids, 2 being older than me, I'm gonna be the first one to graduate high school. I don't know how old you are now, but no matter what, you shouldn't let anyone tell you, you can't do something. If your dream is to join the military, then join. It's your life and no one can tell you how to live it or what to do with it. Some people just feel that the military is their calling and that they want to and feel the need to serve their country. If you still want to join, I say go for it, and if those people that said you shouldn't join, really love you, they'll be with you every step of the way. I really hope you will achieve your dreams too. ☺
I have a kind of tradition that in the beginning of every new year I’ll watch this video. Seriously tho. And then I say it with her: cause this year is our year! btw I hope Mere is doing good and being healthy to herself atm. 😔💗
i know your probably not going to read this cause it was in january but i just want to say how much i love you and this is the firtst video that ive seen on your channel and now im going to try harder to respect others and treat others how i would want to be treated. oh and btw you've just gotten a new subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
You get a certain number of heart beats; no one knows how many you get, and so my New Years resolution is to live each one of those heart beats to the fullest ,appreciate the little things, and don't stress. 💗
I kind of expected this to be like a "workout more eat less" kind of video but I got so much more than that and I'm glad that I watched this. It's extremely helpful and encouraging. Thanks Mere! 💜💜
My new years resolution is deffinetly to start taking better care of myself and to clear myself from all negative energy and thoughts and just to get happier and to enjoy every moment. I want to be as healthy and confident in my mind than I want to be in my body. ❤️
My New Years resolution is to really, genuinely be happy in my own skin. I want to feel confident in myself. I want to stop hating myself and having low self esteem. I just want to be happy.
I can't lie to myself when I look in the mirror. I can't deny myself the truth. I'm not pretty, I know I'm not. No matter how many times someone tells me I'm pretty, I still feel extremely ugly. And the only time I feel a little better is when a boy compliments me, but then the feeling goes away.
Honestly, I feel the same way a lot. But like Mer says, everyone is beautiful in their own way. And if you aren't happy with your body, there's always room for change. :)
Last year I felt disgusted with myself. I was depressed and wasn't happy with being myself. Whatever it is that makes you think this way, block it out because nothing that you just said is true. I know that my comment will only be read once so I'm going to try to prove that you ARE beautiful. By reading this I assume your self hatred stems from other people. But listen, it may be hard but you have to let those people go because all that will do it bring you down even more. You are beautiful. And if people have shit to say about that, don't give any fucks. They don't deserve to say that to anyone. Because everyone is beautiful, including you and the only way to love yourself is to stop hating yourself. Your friends were never your friends if they spend their time trying to bring you down. Just believe me. You are perfect and of you want to change, do it, but don't do it just because others want you to. Lots of love, An ex-self-hater Find what makes YOU happy 💖
This helped me sm. Lately I've been down on myself about all my imperfections and letting go of people and honestly this put smile on my face and not to sound weird but almost made me cry. It honestly helped me understand that this is my year and my life and I'm going to live it. Thank u sm for making this and making people liek me lives sm better💗💗ilysm stay positive
My 2016 New Years resolutions are: 1. not necessarily workout more, but get myself into a schedule 2. become more confident in myself 3. do more things that will make ME happy (: 4. be the best version of myself!
Estou praticando meu português muito. Tenho muitos amigos do Brasil e o mãe da minha amiga sempre estava falando comigo em português então agora amo falar e escrever e escutar ao música brasileira. Boa sorte com aprendizado português. Eu sei que vc lo consegue

My New Years resolutions are Be healthier Stay positive Wake up when my alarm goes off in the morning Be happier Use my phone less Pay more attention in school Drink more water Sleep more :p Love you mere ❤️
I love being by myself it's great bcs I can be myself and no one will judge me and I can just think and be comfortable with my self and body it's really great bcs then I'm more happy😊☺️
my new years resolutions are to be happier with who i am, love myself and my body, stop lying to myself and truly try to recover from my eating disorder. i also want to use my phone less often, and be more willing and less anxious to hang out with friends or new people. anddd i want to care less about popularity and care more about the people who are really my friends.
I think this is like the 3rd time I've watched this video lol, it just brings me up and motivates me to be a healthier person, physically and mentally. I've been having alot of personal and family related struggles lately and I've felt really depressed, but just watching your videos, especially this one, makes me feel so much better about myself. Thank you so much Mere 💕💖

+Sydney K I agree
When is the giveaway ending
This video actually made me tear up, no joke I AIN'T CRAZY OKAY? OKAY
Why?
Rawan Essam Because she was being really inspirational and saying that your beautiful and stuff.
+Andrijana Anicic i dont know why peope dislike this. it's so good, and she is so smart :)
+Ashley Stoyko she uses less than , i think , 15 seconds which is what the allowed time to play a song is.
I'm not okkkakaaaaaayyyyyyy
this video actually made me cry...I have been going through a tough time and when she told me to treat myself right, it inspired me to think about myself in a positive way. Mere, if you read this...thank you so much. ily ❤
Mere is one of the most heart opening people I've ever met she's the light in who I've become and who I'm striving to become
I have two, two big ones
One of mine is to live, I'm still young and i have my whole life ahead of me, it's time for me to break the walls that I have surrounded around myself, to get out of my room aka the place I've been cooped up inside for the last couple years and do something with my life, there are children in hospital wishing they could have a life like mine, I can be breathe, I can run freely and I have multiple opportunities right in front of me, waiting to be taken, yes the world can be cruel but it can also be beautiful and its up to us as people to change the negative things into positive things because when you actually look around and take a close look, this world we live in could be improved so much more.
The second thing is to realize that it's okay, it's okay to get angry and its okay to get sad, it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry but also realize that it's also okay to be happy, to reward myself and to love myself, the only thing that is not okay
Is to give up because if you give up then I will letting them win and by them I mean all the people who ever doubted me, the people who said "this chubby girl won't be able to do it, she can't run for her life and she wouldn't be able to last a day without junk food" the people who said "she's from a small town, a poor family, she won't be going anywhere in life"

Man I love you Mere. That's litierally one of my favorite quotes from you.

My new years resolution is to enjoy every single moment of my life. Last year I have been so stressed out because of school and everything but I have always told me that better days will come soon but not actually did something for it! I want to better organize my life so that there are certain things in my week that I can be looking forward to which motivates me and cheers me up when I am about to break apart. Also I don't want to be wishing for things that I held for necessary and that also pulled me down because I was not able to get it. For example a relationship I was so stupid thinking how happy I could be in a relationship seeing all that tumblr couples that I got unhappy. I realized that I have to stop thinking about things that are missing in my life but being happy with what I have and what I am able to do and not always blaming myself for being me. And I really want to thank you for your videos Mere, seriously! You keep me going and always make me smile with your soulfulness!
+Natalie S @nataliie4711
The way this was filmed is amazing!! 😍
oh would you look at that... a comment without a resolution 😅
IKR?!? 😍
I know I love it! 💁🏼
ily💞💛
😄
I love how she was talking about being fit and also being emotionally healthy. I love you Mere! You have no idea how much this video impacted me!
Can't express how important this video is. Props to you Mere
In 2015 I lost everything, all my money (gov made a mistake and I have to pay for it literally.), got sick (epilepsy&PTSD) lost my job (didnt renew my contract), my best friend broke my heart (moved to israel without saying goodbye to me), my dog died (she had epilepsy and didnt stop) after all these things I, got into huge depression. So 2016 I am moving back into my parents home (just did) going to make my own room again next week, in two weeks I am starting college, and got a part time job cleaning, got a new pet dog from my parents and things are finally looking up again, so 2016 will be about me and rebuilding...after all that I lost... that laptop would be really helpful for college in two weeks I cannot afford one.
I wish you the best.
Rachel Edwards
oh thank you darling (:
+Rey Mikaelson you deserve that laptop, good luck lovely x
emily beacom
thank you so much sweetie
My dog also died from epilepsy.....
My best friend moved to Germany....
I am so sorry that you had to go throught this
Lots of luck in 2016❤️❤️
i cutted two "friendships". they "pushed" me into smoking (cig's and weed), alcohol, staying out too long and just stuff like that. the gave me the feeling that i'm cool and that i'm really into the squad and blah blah blah but actually the just pushed me down and i'm so glad that i don't spend any seconds of my life with them anymore. i don't smoke, i don't drink alcohol and i don't stay out for so long. i started working out, eat healthy and be around healthy spirits. i feel so freaking good! i'm not down anymore, i'm just happy! i live my life to the fullest.
this was so inspiring👏👏
I did the same. Its so much easier to quit bad habits when you're not surrounded by people who have the same bad habit. This is one tip I'd give everyone, just leave it behind you. It's hard at the beginning but after a while you will look at them and think how dumb and not cool their behave is.
sophia R. yup. I see them everyday at school and I just laugh about them 'cause they're just childish and dumb. I'm glad you were strong like me and quitted it, not everyone can do it.
You are so inspiring. I was bullied all through primary school and the names they called me kind of got to me, so this video really helped me realise that I am a good, strong, happy and kind person and you helped me learn how to love who I am. Thank You Mere!
Whenever I feel sad or need inspiration I always come back here. This is possibly the best video on RUclips. Thank you for promoting mental health as well because to be healthy physically, you need to be healthy mentally and I'm happy this video shows that instead of "dieting" and other ways to get "healthy". Your video is very inspiring so thank you for lifting me (and many others) up
My New Years resolution is to not let my anxiety control me anymore😌
Also my Twitter is EBruce01
+Karen Carrillo thank you!
+BeautyButterfly Hope it goes well!
My new years resolution is to treat everyone around me with love and respect, to be a loyal friend, to take tons of pictures, to do more yoga, and to not expect too much of myself! 😊
+Jade Slaughter great!!!!!!
This video always inspires me to keep moving forward and achieve the things I'm striving to do. Merideth if you ever see this you have inspired me in so many different ways. I'm going to create my own RUclips channel and do what I love no matter what anyone else thinks! Love you so much!😊
Thank you Mere. I really needed this. Not the getting in shape and looking like a model or anything, but rather the mental game. I need to let go of the toxic people in my life, the ones who leave me out, make me over think literally everything i do because it is not approved by them. I need to take control of the situation and just let go. Maybe it's not the beginning of a new year right now, but it's never too late to make changes and get the treatment I feel I deserve. Thank you
My new years resolutions are to get healthier, be more confident, get straight A's and not be afraid to express myself and my emotions.
Twitter: @tay_carson 44
my new years resolution is to truly not care what other people think of me.

+Nour rabeh omg TØP
+Bianca Ruane This will make your life SO MUCH easier!!! x
this is my first time watching her and im very happy to see that she includes mental health in this. state of mind is just as important and possibly even more.
Can I just say. Her winks are goshdang perfect.
My New Years resolution is to be happy with by self and my body because I've always been self conscious and I really want to just stop that and stop putting myself down about everything and focus on more important things in life 💗
+thatssosophie xo That's awesome girl!
+thatssosophie xo you go gurl !!!!! :)
Thank Youu!
OK NAH NAH THIS INTRO NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION LIKE YASSSS SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. my resolution is to be more healthy and this video inspired me to do so!!!! i love you mere!!!!!
I didn't have any New Years resolutions but this video made me want to actually set a true goal and to make 2016 my year... I love you, thank you :) ❤️❤️❤️
Being a more positive and confident person
I saw her first time on youtube for like 2 years ago. I already have a tons of compliments on her using my new account that I'm using right now. But still, I wanted to say this. The first video that I watched from her is the Locker Organization. At first, I really hate her. I even compare her videos to Bethany's. But then the time goes then ended up liking her. I didn't watch her videos like for 2 years!! Seriously!! I'm so sad because the wifi removed. So now I'm getting back and I was so blown away!! OMG she turned even more beautiful!! Her teeth, her body, her skin, basically she's flawless! Flawlessness is everywhere!! And she's rich like she's so perfect!! While me, looking like a potato. I wish I had her life. I also love her motivating videos! Everyday, Mere inspire and motivate me! My dream and goal is to be a famous and a positive youtuber, so hopefully.. PS. I love you Mere!
Mere made being healthy seem so fun and achievable ❤️
IKR, love your films Brooke
I want to be heathy now :)
Ikr this video was so inspirational! Also hey come check out my channel if you want?😀❤️
I dont believe in resolutions .. So every day every morning every year i just wanna be better.. Better in every way possible
I love how this vid was all about how to feel better inside and out and create a better wellbeing as opposed to 'here's how to lose weight super fast' etc etc. Mere you are a beautiful inspiration thank you!!
i am older Meredith and was recently introduced to your vlogs. Your messages are amaxing. I currently have a circle of toxic friends and your right i need to dump them and find new friends. Your advice can help all ages and just wanted to thank you.
My New Years Resolution is to become a United States Navy Sailor. Since I am graduating high school this year, I needed to find something to do, so I'd have a future. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, but last summer my older brother joined the Army, and I also have a ton of friends and family in the military, so since I had no clue what I want to do in college, I decided I want to join the military. I just really want to make a difference in peoples lives and my own life, and make my family, friends and country proud. Hopefully by the end of 2016 I'll be a Navy Sailor.
+Layla River Thank you so much! My entire life most people I know told me my dreams are unrealistic, and to just stop trying. It's extremely hard to try to make your dreams come true when everyone around you is telling you that, "you'll never graduate high school", "you'll never get a job", "you'll never be good enough" But what I do, is just ignore those people, and think of how good it will feel when I finally prove them wrong. I've had my own parents tell me that I wasn't going to graduate high school, but here I am, with 130 days left of school, on honor roll, with 23.25 credits, and out of a family of 6 kids, 2 being older than me, I'm gonna be the first one to graduate high school. I don't know how old you are now, but no matter what, you shouldn't let anyone tell you, you can't do something. If your dream is to join the military, then join. It's your life and no one can tell you how to live it or what to do with it. Some people just feel that the military is their calling and that they want to and feel the need to serve their country. If you still want to join, I say go for it, and if those people that said you shouldn't join, really love you, they'll be with you every step of the way. I really hope you will achieve your dreams too. ☺
I wish you good luck. And thank you😁👍👍
good luck!!! i believe you can!!
+Sam Kleinfelter good luck i hope u get the job ✌
Wishing you all the best 😁👍🏼
fav video to ever exist,i keep watching it over and over again

I have a kind of tradition that in the beginning of every new year I’ll watch this video. Seriously tho. And then I say it with her: cause this year is our year!
btw I hope Mere is doing good and being healthy to herself atm. 😔💗
i know your probably not going to read this cause it was in january but i just want to say how much i love you and this is the firtst video that ive seen on your channel and now im going to try harder to respect others and treat others how i would want to be treated. oh and btw you've just gotten a new subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
You get a certain number of heart beats; no one knows how many you get, and so my New Years resolution is to live each one of those heart beats to the fullest ,appreciate the little things, and don't stress. 💗
+alejandra soto That's beautiful
+JustJamie thank you 💗
So far, keeping up with my New Years resolutions💘
I kind of expected this to be like a "workout more eat less" kind of video but I got so much more than that and I'm glad that I watched this. It's extremely helpful and encouraging. Thanks Mere! 💜💜
I just wanna thank you mere, you have inspired me to be a better and more happy me, you are the most inspirational person to ever exist
that last speech was so beautiful.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
One of my resolutions is to discover and learn about myself and different versions of myself and genuinely start loving each one of them.
I love how this is an overall mental/physical health video, rather than just a diet video! Love you so much Mer
I feel like I'm just a little bit late to the giveaway ... 😂
Haha same😂

My new years resolution is deffinetly to start taking better care of myself and to clear myself from all negative energy and thoughts and just to get happier and to enjoy every moment. I want to be as healthy and confident in my mind than I want to be in my body. ❤️

My New Years resolution is to really, genuinely be happy in my own skin. I want to feel confident in myself. I want to stop hating myself and having low self esteem. I just want to be happy.
@alexmperez123
Girl you should love yourself no matter what💖
I don't know why but there's just something about the intro that keep making me come back to this video...
THE ARE THE MOST LIGIT TIPS IVE EVER HEARD!!! IM CRYING SO HARD!! I LOVE U SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MERE!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My New Years resolution is to gain abs, get better at volleyball, and have above a 90 in all my core classes
Twitter @ibrahim_suha
Me too
I can't lie to myself when I look in the mirror. I can't deny myself the truth. I'm not pretty, I know I'm not. No matter how many times someone tells me I'm pretty, I still feel extremely ugly. And the only time I feel a little better is when a boy compliments me, but then the feeling goes away.
Honestly, I feel the same way a lot.
But like Mer says, everyone is beautiful in their own way.
And if you aren't happy with your body, there's always room for change. :)
Is that you in your profile photo?
what do you look like? there must be something beautiful about you.
Last year I felt disgusted with myself. I was depressed and wasn't happy with being myself. Whatever it is that makes you think this way, block it out because nothing that you just said is true. I know that my comment will only be read once so I'm going to try to prove that you ARE beautiful. By reading this I assume your self hatred stems from other people. But listen, it may be hard but you have to let those people go because all that will do it bring you down even more. You are beautiful. And if people have shit to say about that, don't give any fucks. They don't deserve to say that to anyone. Because everyone is beautiful, including you and the only way to love yourself is to stop hating yourself. Your friends were never your friends if they spend their time trying to bring you down. Just believe me. You are perfect and of you want to change, do it, but don't do it just because others want you to.
Lots of love,
An ex-self-hater
Find what makes YOU happy 💖
Istolejiminsjams 00 yes

I've been having alot of personal and family related struggles lately and I've felt really depressed, but just watching your videos, especially this one, makes me feel so much better about myself. Thank you so much Mere 💕💖
