- Today's video is something I've held in for a long time. My Divorce. My Weight gain. My Voice change. My Life Change. The old Candice looked so happy on the outside but was probably the saddest I've ever been. I wanted to talk about it.

We love you Candice.
And I love you 💕😘
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes we do!
I love 💕 all of you.
but... you’ve only commented once on this channel... 😕
"The old Candace can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because she's RED!"
Hahaha LIVING for this comment ❤️😂
hahaha BEST COMMENT!
LMAO xD
Aww love this comment!!! 💝

Almost all female UA-camrs started out with that fake high pitched voice and being overly bubbly. That was the expectation that women had to give into to get their videos viewed. I'm so happy that now in 2021 content creators are real. It's refreshing 😍😁😍.
good point.
I even noticed this with Whitney Simmons in her older videos. Now she is much more chill and I think she's showing us more of who she is.
Expect for Rosanna Pansino she started out with a normal voice then made it more higher and kid friendly.
People need to normalize that people can change & change isn’t bad.
Yesss!!
Amen!
Yes exactly!
Absolutely. Everyone changes constantly as they age. I'm not who I was two years ago, five years ago, ten years ago, etc. It's very normal.
Personal growth is not only normal, it's necessary. I have concern for those who don't realize that (and grow themselves).
yay I love you are feeling the power of being yourself!!
My two favoritessss!
Hello 👋 how are you doing
Honestly when I think of "Edgy Veg" a girl with tattoos and colorful hair comes to mind, not a bubbly blonde. I think you're finally coming into your own, and it's such a pleasure to be part of your journey! Sending you hugs and love ❤️
EDGY veg. Absolutely. It makes much more sense now. Very happy for her.
It’s crazy how long it takes to rediscover “who you are” after a toxic relationship. Congrats on your journey!
Yes! Thank you!
I love when female creators addresses how unsupportive their audience most often is when the creator don’t or no longer fits into the tiny box they want them to fit into. I wish you all the best on your journey. It’s very inspirational to see you be yourself.
whoever thinks your old you was happier, is simply seftabsorbed and BLIND! i actually stopped following your old blog & videos because it made me feel unconfortable. I could see you are suffering and it made me feel bad for watching all that go down without being able to help in any way. Rediscovered you last year and i was sooooo happy to see you goofing around and being happy. like genuine happy! you deserve it Candice, screw the haters!
Thank you so much for your honesty. I’m so glad you’re back! ❤️
Happy to see someone else who feels the same. I tuned out ages ago, and this is the first video I have seen in a while, and this is a much more positive direction for things. I am excited to look at some of the stuff I missed recently.
I was about to make a similar comment. I didn’t appreciate caricature Candace. I unsubscribed because of that. I’m so happy that you are able to deal with your mental health and taking your power back. Thank you for sharing your journey and empowering others. I just re-subscribed. I’d love to meet the real you. 😊
People think of women are behaving "appropriately" they must be happy. If you're thin, wearing makeup, smiling, and acting upbeat men will ignore all of the cracks around the edges that make it obvious that it's just a mask. When women are comfortable and relaxed with their appearance and their personality then men assume they're depressed.
Can we all just understand that it's really the republican newscaster stepford wives are the most unhappy and the women with messy hair and sweats that are drinking beer with their dog and their plants are the truly happy ones?
So the takeaway is that old Candice got happier, more comfortable with herself, less stressed and less anxious and blossomed into the new Candice! Sounds like a good change to me. :)
Damn, dude. People really act like you can’t change and evolve as a person. That’s so frustrating.
What's more frustrating is you thinking people asking about her is a bad thing.
"I give you so much more than my body" ~ one of the most empowering sentences I've ever heard spoken on UA-cam! Congratulations on finally being comfortable being you...an intelligent, informative, gorgeous rockstar! 🤘
I feel really identified with you. I was in a toxic relationship. I lost a lot of weight because I was too anxious to eat... People kept saying I looked great when I was the saddest I've been in my life. It's ridiculous. So happy for you to leave that life behind and start anew. You are so brave and strong and we are proud of you. I have to say also that I can't believe still people comment about people gaining weight... Get a life
I can totally relate to the comments about “you looked better when you were thinner” etc, I was an addict for 6 years and when I got clean 4 years ago the comments started rolling in about how I had gained weight, yeah because I’m not using drugs to sustain myself anymore please stop 🥴 made me feel like I was better off using.
Hello, internet stranger. Don't let the bastards grind you down. Be the shining star 🌟 you are free from addiction and chasing joy. Even the people making those comments to you know that looks are deceiving and surface level marketing. Also people suck. Be true to yourself, stay powerful and shine on.
People are so dumb. Skinny = healthy in many people’s eyes, and while for some people being slim in their natural body, some of us are naturally curvy or just average! Congrats for being clean for 4 years you are amazing 🙌🏼
@@misspeaches1144 Thank you!!
Girl you are preaching facts. Some people are naturally skinny but alot more people are skinny based on situations in their personal life.
HATE that they made u feel u were better off using. Nope. just nope. you are your amazing self now. and girl u are powerful, as in FULL OF POWER! You must be - cos hey, clean FOUR YEARS! so proud of you, and i dont even know u! AND to those who think a thin addict is better than an infinitely healthier non-addict whos finding her path....Ok people, off YOU fuck to Addiction-land then seeing u like it so much....COS OUR TRAIN DOZEN STOP THERE NO MORE!
You’re the best, I adore you! It’s so clear to see how much more comfortable and happy you are in yourself now 💘
Love you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I just got out of a 17 year TOXIC relationship so I knew exactly what you are talking about. I’m now 49 and single again so HARD to start over. I have always loved your channel through all the changes especially LOVE the addition of Molly.
OK, actually.... I'm pissed off that you even felt you needed to make this video. You have always been perfect.
100%
nah don’t be pissed about her wanting to do something she feels she needs to do. it’s good for her growth and channel, let her. i ain’t ever seen a video from her before, but idk why people think saying stuff like this is supportive
@@Zzz2x Well the whole intro says this video is because of BULLYING
As we say in Germany: Lass dir keinen Scheiß erzählen. You are in no way, shape or form fat. You look great and healthy. Not that my opinion on that matters. The only person who needs to be comfortable with your choices is you. In diesem Sinne: lass dich nicht unterkriegen. And remember, this random Stranger on the internet thinks you're awesome
Sending you all the love 💓💕 this wouldn’t have been an easy video to film/ make, but you absolutely shine in your truth ✨ keep doing YOU!!
Thank you so much!!
@@EdgyVeg Tabitha Brown did say she was sick, because she wasn’t being herself. She straightened her hair and hid her accent to fit with society. I’m so glad you are being your authentic self💜
I've been following your for about a year now. I always thought the dry, sarcastic humor was the "Edgy" in "Edgy Veg." 🤷 I never knew the old Candice, but I love the new one. 😁
Same!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
It was the "... maybe they're getting better" part for me. Preach! And congrats on your healing :)
Same!!!!
I don't think it matters. People change. I think it's for the better. You seem more relaxed, less stressed. Keep up the great work!
Ugh, my heart breaks for you, Candice. People's comments on YT are so wild and inappropriate, and like you said, you have so much more to offer than your looks. (Even though you're gorgeous!) So glad to hear you're in a much better place.
thanks!
I’m new to the channel, so I don’t know the “old Candace,” but I love your channel, personality, and look now. I’m so happy you took your autonomy back! Congratulations on growing into the wonderful you you are today. ✌️
thank you!
Social media can be one of the worse places you can be. No need to explain girl. Keep rawking it!
Be transparent. It’s okay but remember that your privacy is YOURS. Keep part of your life personal. Social media and UA-cam in general is very intrusive in people’s lives.
Just remember your life belongs to you. It’s your journey and to be experienced by you sharing the areas you choose when and if you choose within reason and still observing and appreciating your privacy.
👏 👏👏
And by the way, your brand being called the edgy veg makes more sense with your new look!! You rock ⚡️
UA-cam recommended your channel to me. This is the 2nd video I've watched (subscribed halfway through the 1st) Screw the haters! I dyed my hair blue when I was 35 and some people hated it~ I even had some old ladies cross the street to avoid me! :) ~ I've had every colour since then. You do you girl!
Thank you!
I think we are always evolving and it’s not realistic or healthy to want to stay the same , I think you are glowing and building who you are day by day, putting the effort , I love that, it’s beautifull, and people will always give their unsolicited opinion ( me now , sorry ) I send you a big hug and will stick arround to see what life brings thank you for being honest and open
Thank you for stating that weight and change isn't everything. Standing up for a healthy body image is important and I totally agree that it's rude in my opinion to say to someone "You've gained weight" I love the person that you have become. You are beautiful inside out. 💖
I agree. I thought it was very powerful when she said that skinny doesn't mean healthy, and gaining weight isn't always a bad thing. I lost a lot of weight at one point for no clear reason and have recently starting gaining it back. People shouldn't be commenting on anyone else's weight period because you never know what someone is going through.
@@DH-uw3us You're so right. My sister always struggled with her weight. When she was dying of cancer, she lost it all, and then some. I miss her, chunky butt and all. Her husband loved her curves. Her kids had more to hug, and she was vital and happy. Skinny, knock-kneed folks who criticise need to find some form of redemption.
I hate that you have to address your looks to anyone, especially on such a public platform but at the same time… I’m glad you did. We all need to hear we’re not alone. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing. Nothing but good things to come. Lots of light and positivity.
i never saw "old Candice", but this Candice, you, are are a beautiful person inside and out. I love and appreciate everything you for the community.
I've been watching you since 2016, and seeing you now, you look more comfortable in yourself than you used to. Don't buy into the critical comments too much, 'cause honestly you look fucking healthy, gorgeous and happier with yourself and it shows. Just be your true self, we love our Edgy Veg. 😘
thank you! It means a lot to have support from people for so many years!
What an incredible video! I know what it is like to be in a controlling, toxic relationship. I too was in one and when I broke up I started dressing and styling myself differently to be more me, so I get it! I think you look incredible and I actually bumped into you a month ago in front of a thrift store with my friend. Hello again! :) Keep being amazing! xoxoxo
Oh my gosh! Hi again, friend!!!!!
So happy you’re feeling more yourself, Candice! You’re rocking that red short hair! ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing
Thank you, for sharing all of this. We appreciate everthing you do, to entertain or inspire us! Hope you continue with the amazing work you are doing....
One of the best pieces of advice that I ever got was-
Progress doesn't come from being comfortable.
Staying the same and trying to live life with the intention of being the person you were 2, 5, 10 years ago again will never benefit you moving forward.
You are learning and growing, changing and evolving, this is how life needs to be.
Thank you for being REAL 💫
Love this advice perfectly descriptive!
You must be in your 30s .. I found my real self in my 30s too .. as most of us do. I think you look fine any way you want to look. Actually, being a new subscriber, I thought that you and Molly were a lesbian couple and that was how you found your true self. No matter, I tune in for the recipes anyway and wish you a continued happiness and prolific joy in your life. Greetings from a 73 year old fan from the Netherlands. 🌹
Just wait until you reach 48. It gets even BETTER!
Hello 👋 how are you doing
@Jessie Jay I'm 48 and it's much better;) Hang in there.
@@Godisfirst21 That's such a good attitude .. you know, it's a process that only WE can make work for us. 🌹
@Jessie Jay It doesn't happen magically .. it MUST come from within your own mind. I spent most of my life overcoming my dreadful fears! How? By stepping directly INTO them. Afraid of being judged, of losing face, of rejection, of performing in public, of being criticized, of being vulnerable, of not being good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or thin enough. You name it. It was only when I became engrossed in my favorite past times (music, rescue squad, study, spirituality, travel, languages, animal care, etc) that I lost interest in my SELF. My bruised ego no longer had a place on my list of hobbies. Cultivate the ability to laugh at yourself, think kind thoughts of those you really don't care for, help someone ELSE achieve the goals that you would have liked for yourself. Delve into your hobbies with gusto .. it's such a lovely distraction and is sooooooooo much more rewarding than feeling lost and unhappy in life. Good luck honey. 🌹
I love seeing how you've progressed over the years! Change is what makes life fun.
Thank you for being so vulnerable. You are loved!
As a person who at 49 is finally ready to live my best life, you go girl!! Haters gonna hate. It is up to us to find our own peace and be comfortable in our own skin! I heard this recently " you can't wait till life isn't hard to be happy" best advice EVER!! We all love you as you are be happy... be you! 💗💗💗😚😚
Hello 👋 how are You doing?
Aww, so sorry to hear you went through all of that. That sounds really rough! 😔 I've been a longtime subscriber, but have to admit that I had stopped clicking on your videos because I didn't feel like I could connect with you. Then, a little while ago, one of your videos popped up in my feed. I clicked on it just to see what you were up to, and I looooved the new style and the 'new' you. You're amazing, your recipes are great and I just really like you as a person. ❤️ Stay true to yourself, gurrrl.
Thank you for sharing that! Super happy to see you thrive after so many years!
It’s so wild that you had to address these things. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you grow over the years since the OG days, thank you for all the incredible content. luv u!
It's wild that you even have to address this. So glad you're feeling good! Keep doing you queen 💓
this is so relatable, I don’t even know what to say, just glad that you’re in such a better place now
I have followed you for close to a decade and I absolutely love your transformation and seeing you be happy! I remember feeling super sad when I watched some of your old videos because it felt like you were hurting. It’s awesome you escaped and created your life for yourself. Your whole vibe the last few years is so refreshing and I appreciate you sharing your journey. Cheers!
I resonated with this video so much. I am more confident now than when I was a size 4. Like you maybe they’re getting better. That’s exactly how I feel. Trauma is rough and I know cutting my hair is someway symbolic to letting the pain go
Candice, this is so empowering. I’ve been around since the early days and it is so incredible to have been present for this transformation. Love how the Edgy Veg is evolving along with you.
I love the current you! You’re great Candice!
Thank you so much!
I just started watching your videos. I would never have watched the old videos. Im a new vegan in Texas and I needed a confident person and I found your videos. It gives me hope. Thanks for being yourself.
I love the way you have changed and blossomed. I have been here from "old" and seen your youtube-change. I too have come back and had to re-find my self after a toxic relationship and it's hard work and it takes time. You have done so good. I am happy for you. Glad that you are in a better place. Yay you!
Lots of hugs and love ❤️
I am so glad you have been able to feel comfortable enough to show us your more authentic self and growth over the past few years.
I originally subscribed years ago (I think possibly before your ex with another one of my screen names) and you were really integral in getting my omnivorous partner into vegan food.
Thank you for everything, and I look forward to seeing where things go in the future!
I love this video and I love to see how confident you are in being yourself!! I subscribed pretty late in the 'old Candice' era so I can't comment much on that but you definitely seem to be having a good time on the channel now and that is what makes videos fun and enjoyable to watch. Also, heck the haters, you look amazing!!!!!
I literally just found you today, and BRAVO! Happy to be a new subscriber.
It's been really great to see you finding yourself and getting in a much better place. Thanks for creating such great content for us along the way!
I love the fact that you are now able to speak your truth. It also confirms your healing. We're here for you. Keep climbing, keep growing and you are loved. Blessings sweetie ❤❤❤❤
I've been subscribed for a long time now and that's not going to change ☺️ so glad you're out of that horrid sounding relationship, that must have been so tough. I'm just glad it's not your life anymore 💚 positive change and growth for the win and down with shit partners xx
Thank you for sharing and your openness. You are so inspiring for getting to know you AND living you. I'm on a journey to get more in touch with myself and live the life I want to live, and it's so challenging. So I'm really grateful seeing someone I admire (I.e. you), sharing that you have gone through something like that as well.
You have been so helpful to me for many years! I’m making your wonderful feta recipe in my lasagna this Sunday to feed my beloved family.
I want to thank you for all you (and staff) do! You are amazing 🤩 keep up the great work!
Wow, I remember 3 years ago thinking " wow she's really got energy" but would never have guessed it was a mask for what you were living through.
More POWER to you for living life on your own terms and finding a healthy partner. Thank you for sharing.
Girl you look amazing, glowing, gorgeous, nothing else 💖
Good for you. You’ve broken the pattern and you’ve done an amazing job. Your story will inspire others. Your appearance is your own, and you look fabulous!
I only found your channel in the last year and I love it! Thanks for sharing your story! I love authentic Candice!
Your change reflects the empowerment that you have now, your true self and a supportive partner . You look beautiful no matter your size and also you dress so good and love your hair colors , you have a super personality !
We explore, we learn, we grow, we change, we gain! I say bugger off to anyone who can not support you doing that! I'm glad you had the courage to do what was needed to be authentic. Keep it up girl from a 67 year old, divorced woman. It's better to be an imperfect authentic you, than a perfect version of someone else's version of you. Someone other than me said that, and it's not perfect, lol!
Beautifully said!,❤️
We support you.
Thank you for the work you do and message you put out.
We are sending you lots of love ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗
Thanks for sharing I got so emotional watching 😭 I’m so happy that you’re doing better and you definitely seem more relaxed 😌
Thanks for the video. I have definitely wondered this as well (except I didn’t notice you gained weight) but I would have NEVER asked 😬 glad you are finding yourself and becoming the woman you want to be :)
People in, as can be pretty brutal. I didn’t even think that I gained very much until the comments started coming in
I’m so proud of you! None of what you’ve described sounds easy! Narcissistic abuse is no joke and recovering from it isn’t fun. Sound like you’re doing so much better and happier! And you look amazing! ❤️❤️
This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. 💕 I’m so glad you’re happy.
This is beautiful, This is a growing Life! Love it! Keep up the Good Work!! 💚🌱
I'm happy for you! I'm glad you were able to get out of a toxic relationship and it lead you to find your true self! I honestly thought you were being more edgy just like the name of your channel but either way I freakin love your video!
I'm stunned to hear that there were so many comments on your 'weight'. I wasn't around for 'bubbly Candice', I've only ever seen this version of you and I have often thought: wow, I love how sensual and sexy and casual she looks, I would love a body like hers! Obviously I'm a heavy woman, but I always felt like your look was effortless (probably because you were clearly confortable in yourself!) and enviable. I was so glad to hear you say 'I've never been that' when it came to being called fat, because, lady, you are definitely not! You are healthy and glowing! And admired for how you look. What a shame that others are locked into toxic cultural and societal ideals that they thought a hyper skinny version of you was preferable. Based on the images and video clips you shared in this video alone, I can confidently say you are more beautiful now because you are radiating your authenticity. So, so much sexier!
Love this and where you're going. I always believe that putting personal stuff and struggles out there helps others, so I'm all for it.
I’m in the middle of a divorce right now, and your videos have been so therapeutic because of you. Thank you for your creativity and openness 💕
Candice I wish I had even 10% of your communications skills.
I’m here for the long haul.
OMG I can SO relate!! Thank you for sharing. I’ve was married, super skinny and then divorced gained 20 pounds (and LOVE being more bootylicious lol 😂 ), cut all my hair off, and now I wear my hair in several colors. And I’m the happiest I’ve ever been! We all resist change in others but hey change is good!!! 😀❤️🙏🏼
I’m so happy for you! That’s such an incredible accomplishment!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastically strong and powerful vlog, thank you. Wishing you continued health and happiness. Love the channel. X
I’ve loved you since I found your channel about a year and a half ago and when I watched your old videos I could actually see the mask that you were wearing as I used to do the same thing when I had depression and felt like I had to act a certain way and looking at the videos now I see how authentic, beautiful, and amazing you’ve become and I love it. It takes a lot to be able to let your true self come through when you’ve put on a mask for so long but it is also so freeing once you do it. I’m so proud of you and love that you’ve been able to be your true self. 💕💕
I can really relate! I went through the blonde hair bubbly phase where I was just trying to people please and make myself look happy. People were always surprised about my interests bc my look didn’t reflect myself. Glad you posted this and I’m happy you are feeling like yourself!
This is so interesting. I liked your content back when you were "old Candice" but I didn't feel a connection to you, I guess. When you became "new Candice" I felt the switch and I've been been watching and enjoying your videos even more! Glad to hear you are doing better and love your channel!
You look amazing, your vibe now is super dope, and the fact that you found the strength to be the person you truly are, deserves all of the praise. That shit is not easy. I’m so happy for you and look forward to supporting you and your channel! 💜💜
I saw some of your old videos when I was looking for specific recipes etc, but I subscribed later. I didn't even realise you were the same person.
Glad you are in such a better place, keep the content coming!
I feel what said when you said, "I looked happy... I wasn't" omg
You look so good, you look healthy and definitely come on, not fat.
I'm glad you've learned so much while you're still very young. It took me a lot longer! Also, you are beautiful and I love your red hair.
Thank you for sharing! I’m so glad you now have the space and strength to be yourself because you are awesome 💕
I love the "new", real Candice! You look great with the extra weight and I love the new haircut and color. But this is just a bonus, because I am HERE FOR THE FOOD and not the way you look! I am happy to hear that you are feeling a bit better and finding yourself and be brave enough to be the real you!
Sending lots of love and greetings from Germany,
Jessi 🌻
People change a lot in their lives. I change almost every month 😅 I started following you because I know you as you are now and I see you as "edgy veg", I couldn't imagine you any other way.
Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for sharing a piece of your real life with us and keep up the great recipes!
You look fantastic and you are so inspiring. Thank you for all the great recipes and info!
Thank you Candice for being REAL! I love this new version of you. I am 48 and I GET IT! I have been through so many transformations and I was 106 lbs at 37 because I was so STRESSED out and everyone would tell me how great I looked and I was so sad and miserable. I am now about 150 lbs. In the end, it doesn't matter. So true.....Linkin Park.
Why is everything so HEAVY?
P.S. At 48, I decided to NEVER dye my hair again. I am going through an ALL natural hair transformation and I LOVE it!
Hello 👋 how are you
I remember watching your videos every once in a while way back when, but I was off put. Maybe I actually thought it seemed like there was a fakeness? At some point when you had pink hair I subscribed though, because I really enjoyed your content, and watch your stuff regularly. I didn't realize there was a big shift, but I guess if I watched an old video I would see it
I love who you are!!! Thank you soooomuch for everything you share!! You are a beautiful person!! 💜
thank you!
Love your growth! You look great! Thank you for what you do!
So many of us have been there and completely understand.
Hey honey! Hope you’re doing well. Love your vlogs. Xoxoxo btw evolving is nice and comes with life ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
This is awesome 👌
I'm so glad you've found a road map for your inner peace. Thanks for posting this!
thanks!
You are beautiful!!! I’m so happy you cut out the toxicity and found yourself again ! It is such a healing and empowering journey !!! Big hugs to you 🙏✨💕🤗
