I really love how you’re willing to talk about your BPD as well as your health and fitness. My brother has BPD and it’s so good to see people doing well with it. You’re helping people on so many fronts. Love it. ❤️

I love it too!!! There's such a stigma and lots of fear around mental health. It is SO amazing to see a young, beautiful, healthy woman comfortable in her skin talk about it in such a nice way. Inspiring!!

I saw your page for a long time. I thought it was another Instagram scheme, but stayed following. BUT WHEN I HEARD YOU HAVE BPD?!? I bought the guides ASAP. I suffer from it, too. It’s been a crazy journey, mentally- forget the physical aspects. I watched all your videos and came up with my plan. Since starting your guides and becoming better (ish) about my diet, my Borderline traits have gone down drastically. I still have days, but they’re more manageable. I hope to continue on the path of recognizing, controlling, and rationalizing everything. I think you mentioning BPD and seeing your growth has been a “look, you aren’t alone. She did it and has BPD; you can, too!” Thank you for being open about BPD and for creating this program!!

Alyssa this comment touched my heart more than you know. A HUGE reason I shared my journey was in the hopes that I could help others with BPD change their lives. My fitness journey saved my life, and I am so incredibly happy to hear it is doing the same for you. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Keep up the amazing work

awwn I hope you take all this overwhelming loving support to heart! I just beat endometrial cancer a few months ago and also struggle with GAD. Now I'm working to regain all the muscle I lost on chemo and finish my degree! I know BDP is hard, you have no idea how inspiring it is to see you overcome your difficulties and become better each day and each week

BPD is a TOUGH disorder!!! My ex husband had it. Kudos to you for managing your disorder!

Brie Thompson thank you love ❤️

You are such a strong woman and you inspire me so much. I also have BPD and got diagnosed when I was 16-17. I know how tough it can be. You’ve come so far, look at you! And you motivate me so much. Because of you I’m finally starting my fitness journey. I just want to say a huge THANK YOU.

Yay! Love when your videos come on my feed, want to see more in the new year!!!

Always look forward to your videos🤗 thank you for always being so open with all of us, it's one of my favorite things about you!

I always look forward to your perspective on fitness, thank you for making videos! Love you ❤️

So so so glad I found you Mari ❤️ truly an inspiration

Yay! Have missed you Mari! More you and Greg together because you guys are adorbs!

Mari you explain things so well thank you for doing these videos & love the variety!

Thanks so much Mari! It’s so nice to see someone working hard for their goals and doing well while working with challenges! Love how real you are! This was a fun video!

Your amazing for being so honest about this, such an inspiration !

You inspire me everyday 💕 always excited to watch ur new videos !!

I’ve been waiting for a upload from you!!! I’m so excited to watch!!!❤️❤️❤️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

Love the new intro with your logo, super cute!! And love you and your videos of course. Thank you for being so open and informative (and entertaining 😊)

I love everything you do Mari! Thank you for being so honest and natural with us ♥

It’s so inspiring to see someone following their dreams - I’m more optimistic than Ive ever been about this lifestyle change and it’s thanks to you!! thank you so much

Love your videos! They've been helping me get back onto my fitness journey since a second ankle surgery that I had, love it! Keep it up 😊

I have been following you since before your journey blew up & I am so amazed by how far you have come! So informational & inspirational, thank you for being so real! 💕

Love you guys! Please keep sharing your life with us, your such an inspiration :)

I literally think you are the best fitness influencer ever. Keep it up! You are doing an amazing job 💛 Both of you are!💗

These answers were so helpful! You’re such an inspiration to me. It inspires me how genuine you are and dedicated to your work. When you’re looking for a fitness page to follow and gather inspiration from, it’s very rare to see real results with women who only want your money rather than for you to succeed. Thank you for all you do Mari!!! 💗

Love hearing more about you, Mari! You have such a wonderful perspective on fitness and nutrition. Thanks for talking about mental health; I had a diagnosis of a personality disorder and your piece on mental health and working out meant a lot. P.S. Got your three gym guides and your fitness band.

You inspire me in so many ways!! I definitely needed this because I have been discouraged with my youtube channel. Seeing you grow and your business taking off, pushes me to keep going with my videos.

Thanks for being vulnerable about BPD! It’s so helpful to see someone being so strong and focusing on creating a life worth living :)

I really enjoyed watching this video & learning more about you on a personal level. You are such an incredibly strong and inspirational woman, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what else is in store for you! Also, I just finished guide 1 today; onto guide 2!! Thank you Mari!!

Would love to hear more about your mental health journey. Struggling with mental illness and weight is so relatable!!

keep doing q&a videos, I love them! you are such an inspiration in so many ways ☺️

My son was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, it hit me hard and it's hard seeing him go thru the ups and downs, hes very young so it's scary to know that it might get worse when hes older. I will always do my best to be supportive of him and help him get thru his disorder in healthy ways. I see how well your doing in your life and how successful you are even thoe you have a mental illness and it gives me hope for him and his future 😊❤❤❤

You are so relatable and honest. Love you! Can’t wait to one day buy all your products when I have more money. 😂😂 ❤️❤️ I’m still trying to follow your gym guide!

8:55 Mari!!! This is SUCH a great video!!! Can you please please please do an entire video on how you changed your relationship with food to be more healthy? It's so inspiring and helpful to hear!!! I've been grappling with eating things that don't help my fitness goals for years. I'll do amazing for a month, crash, go again, crash... I want to really find lasting peace once and for all. In the meantime, I'm going to listen to this part of your video again and again to really 'get it into' my brain!!! =) Lub ya gurl! xo

I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago and they've been so helpful. I've had such a hard time over the years getting into shape and sticking with plans. It's disheartening to start at such a beginners level and not see a lot of results and be overwhelmed with info and suggestions. But I've loved your videos so far.

I love you guys soooo much!! you are amazing

I've been diagnosed with depression but after doing a ton of research, I'm 98% sure I have bpd. It's been getting really really rough lately, like my mental health is probably pretty close to the worst it's ever been. I'm trying to find a therapist to deal with it/get diagnosed but I'm struggling to find motivation, especially because bpd is such a misunderstood mental illness. Thank you for being so open about it. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to say that I'm doing pretty good, like you can 💛

I have BPD and went through DBT, that was a life changer for me. Without that therapy I would not be here today. How are you able to work with fitness while having BPD? I started working as a PT but it has been really tough on me. You are awesome, just found you a few days ago and have been loving your videos since then. Great content!

Love that you addressed the underwear question! Everyone thinks it so weird I go commando in my leggings/yoga pants. 👏🏻I’m 👏🏻not 👏🏻weird! Lots of love, thanks for all you do!!

Hey. Thank you for sharing on the disorder. That was really impressive and brave. It spoke to me. Especially how candid and calm you were. I'm dealing with so much fear and shame inside, because I'm watching myself behave in ways I don't want to, and I want to improve and grow out of this. I feel like I'm still a bit in denial and that leads me to sometimes hiding my problems from others or myself. I'd be mortified if someone in my personal life read this. Even though logically I know I have a few kind, understanding people in my life, I have this expectation of myself to be "stronger" and "more stable" than this. Which I know isn't right or fair, but it's hard not to be hard on myself. I'm also a bit in denial, I think, because I'm in a terrible situation. You could say I'm in the oven after just barely surviving the frying pan. Basically, compounded abuse & PTSD... And I think I may be telling myself once I get out of this I'll be "better"... But the truth is I'm not 100% sure of that. I'm not even sure that if I weren't so damaged by what I've been through I wouldn't still essentially watch myself behave in ways I'm not proud of. At the end of the day, if the abuse did it to me or my brain was always going to be like this, either way the result is that I'm really suffering...and I know that if I'm still hoping and holding out for the possibility that if I get out of this situation I'll "stabilize" may just be me unable to accept who I am as a person. It's a bit terrifying. But you made it look more okay than I've been able to envision in a long time. You're beautiful and successful and can even be forthright and confident about your disorder... You seem to be able to manage it and it doesn't control you. I really needed to see that. more than I knew. I really hope I can get to a point where I love myself and have confidence and contentedness and I so hope I grow better at handling this and get closer to who I want to be

I have bpd too. I was recently diagnosed. I struggle a lot with body image and eating habits, etc.

I love your videos! You’re an inspiration🥰♥️

Thank you so much for sharing your story on BPD. Are there any books on the disorder you can recommend?

I’m just gonna take credit for the underwear question 🙋🏽‍♀️ you guys are welcome

Intro is so cute reminds me of Pixar

Hi Mari, I started a small business- as it's difficult to have a regular 9-5 job due to BPD. Could you do a video on how you started your business, i.e what products you came out with in the beginning, how you manage the business with a mental illness (although your in recovery). Any advice you can offer would be great. 🙏🏽🇬🇧

I love you mary❤️❤️

Keep posting!

“Mari is, give or take, 10 years older than me” lmao so cute

anyone know where I can find a similar necklace? Its so pretty!

Does anyone know if the nutritional guides include vegetarian options?

If I’m trying to loose weight, but also gain muscles should I still be in a calorie deficit??

@TheeSarahWood

sofia salazar Hi Sofia, yes that is the goal when you desire to lose weight. Then as you improve your diet, you’ll replace your fat with muscle along the way. Honestly at first you don’t need to focus a whole lot on macros, but just nail the calories, and then progress to working towards macros will reign things in. Just be careful not to create too much of a deficit because that is not sustainable. I posted a video a few weeks about that if you want to check that out. ❤️
