Oooooo ooo oo oopinion oooooooooooooooooo o oooooooooooooo o oo oh oooo oooo oooo o o oo oooo oooo oo oooooooooooooo oooo oh hago o oh o ooo ok oooooooo ok oooooooooo ooooon olove ooolove ooohhh ooplease lo
her videos are nice to watch, great editing, encouraging & all, but rlly, they are repeating the same thing...a motivational speech voiceover and clips of her working out & eating...
Wow well said, “I’d rather be alone than being around people who bring in negative energy because I just don’t have the energy to be anything but myself” you’re so inspirational and have the right morals to be happy :))
It’s so true. After being surrounded by negativity my Freshman year of High School, I realized I’d rather be alone then be around people who bring negativity. Being around negativity changes you and makes you negative as well so sometimes it’s best to be alone, even if it hurts.
Been depressed this past 3 months, neglecting college work, strained relationship with my mum, and just been hit with the news of my parents divorcing today. But every time I watch your videos, they bring me hope to keep on fighting and to take care of myself. Thanks for always being such great help when I’m feeling low ❤️ (with tears pouring down my face)
I really for you my parents divorced as well into my sophomore year. Just be present with yourself and take days one at a time. Also if your relationship with is strained with your mum, distance can do wonders believe me. My relationship with my dad is not the same as it was after the divorce but I realize both my parents are happier apart than together
Im a recovering anorexic and when Im allowed to go on youtube I come straight to your channel. You are truly amazing linda. You motivate me so much to keep pushing through all my horrible mental and physical feelings. This is one of the hardest things I have ever gone through in my life and you make me a little better when im at my worst. I Truly thank you linda ❤️
She is the reason that I am able to eat everyday and not be so very hard on myself, I don’t need to burn every cal I consume and I don’t have a reason to feel guilty about it. THANK YOU LINDA!
As someone who struggles with body image positivity, stress and anxiety, and struggles with wanting to workout and eat healthy, your videos inspire me so much Linda. I just want to say thank you for everything❤️
LINDA thank you so much for everything that you do. You are such an inspiration for so many around the world and I know life can be hard but you are doing amazing things. I have been documenting my ED recovery on my own channel and have really admired you strength and dedication in smashing society's stupid rules about food and what our bodies SHOULD look like. Thank you for always being honest. Sending love ❤️
Ok this is weird but i literally kept thinking you'd post today and you did. Ik you probably won't see this but Linda, you're such a beautiful and strong human being. You've been through so much and you stayed strong. I haven't been doing the best lately either so I relate to this video so much. I haven't even watched it but ik it's beautiful. We love you so much and we're so proud of you and your accomplishments! ❤️
honestly ive been watching linda’s videos since 30k, and it feels as though im growing up with her. ive had a lot of ed’s, negative thoughts, and u can guess the rest. im so so proud of linda for helping me become a better person mentally and physically, but im mostly proud of her. please linda, never stop being happy 😊
I’m in my final year of medical school and I’m *stressed* 24/7 and the whole covid situation makes everything a 100 times harder. If I’ve learned anything in 2021, it’s to take each day as it comes- life isn’t something I can dissect and plan and micromanage - and I’ve learned to accept that. I prioritise peace over everything else. I’m here for such a short time in the grand scheme of things and I’m not going to waste it stressing over things that might or might not happen. I had a hard year but it was better than 2020 by a mile. 2020 battered me and in 2021 I started to heal and I’ll continue to heal and thrive in ‘22, ‘23 while learning and growing.
I’m going through a rough breakup right now and also moving into my own apartment for the first time. This video’s message about appreciating alone time and letting emotions be felt was so needed ❤️ thank you Linda!
I'm crying rn thinking why can't i love myself and appreciate my body and eat whatever i want why am i making my life stressful by restricting myself so much i hope i can overcome my restriction and be happy again.. Thank you linda you've inspired me to love my body and appreciate myself.
Linda, you are the person who has changed my midset and everytime I watch your videos you keep reminding me, that life isnt perfect, we are broken sometimes, we are hurt sometimes, we are depressed sometimes, but the key is to get up stronger and face the challenges. Thank You Linda, hope you are great
You can't even imagine how much I suffered today. I was so nervous and feeling bad but I just tried to give rest to myself and calming my own self. Then I just saw you uploaded a new video and I was in seventh heaven. Thank you so much Linda for everything. You are one of my best friends for REAL. I love You so much xoxo
everyone had these days or weeks or even months! sometimes. its okay to feel this way just know we are all proud of you and how far you've come with your journey with self love :)
this notification came at the exact right time wow. i was struggling so bad with food and alimentation ect, i've been struggling in general recently. Thank you for this
Hope I become a person like her.. my confidence levels are raised rn as I was super mad at myself for not working out like since 2 months and my body did change and I didn't even go on a diet.. I hated myself but this just got me motivated
is crazy how much i ralete you, i start to watch you a year ago, i think, just since you start and thank you so much, for everything i mean just for be there to me even when if you didn't know it, you're my confort youtuber, not pressure, just know it.
Linda brings so much comfort with her video's. She is a nice reminder that the world is meant to be confusing at times and I'm not the only one who sometimes doesn't understand why I don't like my body or why school is torture.
Your mom and brother are real sweethearts…they swooped in quick with the participation awards and I think that’s awesome! Congrats on the nomination! And I wish I could’ve eaten the yummies ☺️
I really needed this right now. I was so stressed for quite some time cause it's been three months since I've stopped working out I started eating way too much, I gained so much weight, I had no motivation and these school's/studies are killing me but after watching this video I feel better than before and kinda motivated Thanks, Linda :)
I’m in my 60’s & you have put words to my journey to self love. you are amazing, social media does have some things of value, I wouldn’t have been able to have this audio visual pep talk without it, thank you for sharing your story💕
My son is due in less than a month. Im 20 years old and in college, and have been struggling with the changes in my bodily appearance and the fact that I can’t just dive straight back into intense exercise and dieting. Your videos have given me the confidence and self love that I have lost over the last 9 months, and I am ready to work on creating a new form of self care that revolves around my marriage, parenting, and new lifestyles. Thank you for these videos love 🤎🤎
One thing that helped my friend with her body image throughout her pregnancy was the fact that her body was strong enough to grow another life and that in itself makes you beyond beautiful and powerful. Rooting for you and your son💜
You got this! I had kids young. I had two by the time I was 23! You got this! Life gets so hard sometimes, it always brings me back to Jesus. He is my hope when I have none.
OMG I literally teared up while watching the whole video; thank u sm for doing this. Personally, today was a really though day and listening to this was all that I truly needed. ly queen
christmas has always been a hard time for me with all this because usually i either overeat and feel really uncomfortable in my body or restrict and miss out on all the amazing holiday food my family prepares. this video had perfect timing 💗
Woah, Linda - that was incredible. Your channel has honestly become such a safe and comforting spot for me, so thank you for being so open and honest. This was so relatable, but also so inspiring - you have made me feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. You are such a golden soul, Linda, and I hope you know how many lives you are changing. Keep loving yourself xx
i cant thank you enough for putting yourself out here. i have been struggling with fear of gaining weight and i have so much guilt over food and over exerise sometimes. but your channel is my safe place! you bring me so much comfort when it gets too overwhelming. please never stop
Linda, I know you get so many comments and messages. But one more - there are some youtubers I like, but there is no one that gives me so much the feeling that I am ok the way I am broke and not ok. I try so hard to heal but often - I don`t or there is still so much wich did not heal, new things in me breaking and you share this with us in such a personal, kind and honest way that is so amazing! You don´t say what you mastered but what you are trying, you are not just sad - it´s really amazing. Thank you Linda send you a hug from germany!
Absolutely love your editing. You have really gotten me through quarantine and hard times this past year. Thanks so much for blessing us with your amazing videos. Everyday you post is a good day.
I really needed this❤️. I'm moving across the country for my first job, and I'm terrified of being lonely. Thank you for reminding me that "alone" doesn't equate to "lonely", and that doing things by oneself (and for oneself) can actually be empowering. Lots of love from South Africa 🤗
This is the BEST video I have ever watched, it's so motivating and I actually can relate to what you are saying in the video. An year ago, I was so insecure, not at all happy in my body. I worked out so I don't get body shammed, I worked out so people look at me and think I have a hourglass body or for people to look at me and say ohh wow that's body goals. I never worked out for myself and I have realized now how badly I treated myself, I poorly I listened to my body and its needs, how selfishly I tortured my self to go and workout everyday, to skip a few meals, to not eat the food I liked cause I feared the shape of my body would completely change if I ate one pizza with my friends and how I forced myself into being pretty.
Oh wow, I'm sorry things are rough for you right now...I really hope things go well for you, your baby, and your significant other, Lillian. Children are a gift from God, and although you must be going through a lot right now, congratulations on your little baby. It's a blessing amidst the hardship. Wishing you the best, and if you need any help, please don't be afraid to reach out. May Jesus Christ guide you and your family 💛
Holidays are so hard. Being around family and eating out so much, comparing how much I’m eating to them and constantly thinking I’m better if I don’t eat as much as they do or the junk food that they eat. My ED bad thoughts always pop up around family and extended family, which is usually around holidays. This week and next week will be hard, thank you for this video.
Linda really is my safe youtuber. I'm so proud of you and try to remember it's okay to have bad days, bad weeks, just a bad time and that doesn't mean its a bad life. 💕
I recently stumbled onto this video, and I just want to tell you: Thank You. I've been feeling very low in my life right now and have been wanting to improve my life, but not know how. Thank you for showing me it's okay to want to focus on myself. Thank you for being another inspiration and motivation in my life. I hope both our journeys will continue and make 2022 our better year. Thank you!
Linda I am 51 years old and I think you are such an inspiration, the battles never go away they just change....I worry about you, look after yourself please 💞
i've had a really rough past few months, especially dealing with food, and I know this sounds so cringey but this video just made me smile. knowing I'm not alone and this is all normal felt like a genuine hug through the screen. thank you so much linda and everyone else that can admit when they're struggling, because it honestly gives other people who are dealing with similar things strength.
These videos are lit art and talk about how a lot of us are feeling now 🙌 the editing, the talk, the quotes and everything are perfect and not only help Linda, help us to make us stronger and better each day 🙏
This is what I've been working on telling myself the past two months and I've felt an incredible shift in my mental clarity. Be easy with yourself now, we have all had incredible challenges and heartaches over the past couple years and it's time for us to love ourselves and to heal. Sometimes the problem isn't what's in front of us, but what we're allowing to consume us. You got this!
This is seven months late but I just wanted to thank you for somehow always saying the right thing. Your videos never fail to make me feel better about my insecurities. You really are helping me mend my relationship with food and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you Linda
Linda, you are probably the biggest reason why I got over my disordered eating and my need to live for other people's satisfaction. I'm not saying they're not there anymore, but you remind me to accept myself, flaws and all. You're an inspiration to so many because you're human, and seeing someone else just existing makes it easier for the rest of us. Thank you :3
I came across your channel today. I’ve been on youtube for 3 years and finally today, I found a channel (yours) that speaks to me in every sense of the word! Im on the same path and your journey is soooooo relatable. 🥺 Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve lost myself completely. I have no motivation to get out of bed anymore and to start working out again since i got covid. i was doing so good before i got covid and was finally starting to love myself, but then i lost a lot of weight… and i’m underweight again. it all just hurts knowing all that progress i made with glute and leg gains and weight gain is just gone… all for nothing. it took forever to get where i was and it took a week to lose it all. to lose myself once again. i don’t know when i’ll be happy, i don’t know when i’ll be back to myself, i don’t know when i’ll start working out again and love my body, but i do know that i will keep pushing to get myself out of bed and pushing myself to be the strong person i know i could be. 2022 will be my year. i WILL achieve most of my goals, if not all. i can not wait. i will make it.
Genuinely one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. It was one of those moments but I feel so better after watching this. I’m so happy I’ve found your channel! Thank you for doing this
Girl I am so glad I found your video. It hit my soul just right , you brought tears of resonation and release…Many blessings to you , beautiful soul ☮️💟❤️
i am SO glad you talked about how sometimes the most basic human activities (talking, pretending to be in a good mood, eating, living) are exhausting. its so true and can be so difficult to get past when you’re in a down phase. although, on the flip side, there are up phases of life where those simple activities are super fun and exciting! i find that throughout the month (especially with hormones) i swap between feeling elated by everything in life, to not having it in me to put in effort to do the smallest tasks. but i know the fluctuations are pretty normal, and that the hard times never last forever
I'm proud of you and all that you've accomplished in the last couple of years. I appreciate how candid you are and I love that you're still making videos despite how you feel. You've really helped me this pandemic. I have a better relationship with food and I workout for myself instead of trying to change my body because I don't like what I see. So, thank you and I appreciate you :)
This video is so perfectly timed because I know exactly how you feel. I'm chronically stressed because of nursing school so I eat what I want to telling myself I'll workout, but then I never do because I'm either too stressed or too exhausted. Then my mental health bears the weight because I feel guilty about what I'm eating and that I'm not working out. I can always relate to your content and it always reminds me that it's okay if I'm not constantly working out and that I'm allowed to eat without feeling guilty. Thank you for always being transparent, Linda!
These past few weeks have been SO rough and sprinkles of joy like your videos and your oat and pancake recipe are what help me make it through the day. I relate to so many of your struggles and what you talk about, and it helps me not feel so alone. Thank you so much, I'll never be able to thank you enough.
You got this Linda. You are very young and have a long life ahead of you. Don’t let a number, a size, a man, a brand to define who you are. 20 years from now, you look back on this time in your life as the fun time, the moments where you can make mistakes and live freely! Enjoy! Happy Holidays!!!
For the past 6 months I have been living in hell and negativity was leading me to the end of the road but now it's a week now that I'm watching your vedios, and I think I figured out what I was doing wrong and what I should do from now on. And I owe this to you Linda. Thank you. ❤
Linda I am about your age and it is so cool to be going through this journey with you. You are wise beyond our years and so helpful to me to remind me about loving where I am at in my life and accepting the bad days-- it will get better. Thank you.
I always love how absolutely Raw and Real you are Linda you always hold a mirror up to actual issues and feelings that we all go through on the daily lately during these trying times...Thank you for being You we love you Linda please never change 😊
I sit down with coffee and breakfast, put on Linda, a sigh of relief leaves my lips, I feel content now, the stress of the coming day leaves. Thank you Linda.
Linda, thank you so much for this video. For sharing your journey, your highs and lows with us. And thank you for your words. Christmas is the hardest time of the year for my mental health. This year was even harder then the past years because I gained a lot of (healthy) weight. Seeing my new body on family photos hit me so hard. I just cant stop crying for two days now. One hour ago, I finally made it out of bed- and found your video. Im still crying, even harder than before. But now, Im crying because Im so proud of you. And also proud of myself. Im crying because you destroyed all my thoughts that wanted me to give up. In just 23 minutes. I will never, never, never give up, because losing weight and restricting leads me to giving up my family, my future, my friends, my health, my strength and my freedom. I dont want to be the toxic person in my life anymore. Stay strong, we love you. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you so much for being this voice of kindness and reason 😭 your balance of taking care of yourself and giving yourself what you want/love is so inspiring
I have grown big and hearing u always makes me eat what I want to eat. That no one is perfect and everybody has their own problems.2 years back if I had grown this big I would literally think of eating only apple and eating less rice but now I eat as much I want. And Linda u have always motivated me to love myself. Thank u so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and love u form the bottom of my heart 💖💖
you are my comfort person and i love you so much. i’ve followed you since the start and it’s been a privilege to witness your soul shine stronger in every video, you inspire me so much thank you for encouraging me to be strong
It is inspiring how you dont let the bad body image days or the days you turn to your old disordered habits turn into a relapse (thats how I interpreted it). Ive been struggeling w that for the past few months. Your voice is so calming to listen to! Thanks for the message you're spreading!❤💪
Linda I love you and I’m so proud of YOU. I cannot express how much your videos have changed my life. You remind me why we’re all here. I’m so grateful for you and your videos. 💛
The part where you said to connect with those who make your life richer really spoke out to me. Recently I had to cut off a friendship of 5 years and it was really hard. Even though it hurt I knew it had to be done for my mental health. Love you and your videos!!
Your videos help my mental health so much, Linda! I am so thankful that I found your channel this past year. :) You are so amazing for being your wonderful self, and for letting us have someone to connect to when we feel misunderstood. It might sound weird, but I love you like a best friend. Please keep up the great work!

Hi, are you feeling better now? I'm sorry to hear you had a rough time during Christmas.
I am thank you :) you’re so sweet for asking
As someone who struggles with body image positivity, stress and anxiety, and struggles with wanting to workout and eat healthy, your videos inspire me so much Linda. I just want to say thank you for everything❤️

Absolutely love your editing. You have really gotten me through quarantine and hard times this past year. Thanks so much for blessing us with your amazing videos. Everyday you post is a good day.
Thank you for being you. We value you and are here for you🥺❤️. Thank you for being there for me when I didn’t know I needed it.
thank you for existing girl😭
I really needed this❤️. I'm moving across the country for my first job, and I'm terrified of being lonely. Thank you for reminding me that "alone" doesn't equate to "lonely", and that doing things by oneself (and for oneself) can actually be empowering.
Lots of love from South Africa 🤗
watching linda feels like a warm hug - it’s so comforting and safe and steers me towards better thoughts if im having intrusive ones
This is the BEST video I have ever watched, it's so motivating and I actually can relate to what you are saying in the video. An year ago, I was so insecure, not at all happy in my body. I worked out so I don't get body shammed, I worked out so people look at me and think I have a hourglass body or for people to look at me and say ohh wow that's body goals. I never worked out for myself and I have realized now how badly I treated myself, I poorly I listened to my body and its needs, how selfishly I tortured my self to go and workout everyday, to skip a few meals, to not eat the food I liked cause I feared the shape of my body would completely change if I ate one pizza with my friends and how I forced myself into being pretty.
Just found out that I'm unexpectedly pregnant on Christmas Eve. You're videos always make me feel better💖
Oh wow, I'm sorry things are rough for you right now...I really hope things go well for you, your baby, and your significant other, Lillian. Children are a gift from God, and although you must be going through a lot right now, congratulations on your little baby. It's a blessing amidst the hardship. Wishing you the best, and if you need any help, please don't be afraid to reach out. May Jesus Christ guide you and your family 💛
Holidays are so hard. Being around family and eating out so much, comparing how much I’m eating to them and constantly thinking I’m better if I don’t eat as much as they do or the junk food that they eat. My ED bad thoughts always pop up around family and extended family, which is usually around holidays. This week and next week will be hard, thank you for this video.
Linda is the love of my life! Her content brings me so much joy, I can’t even express it
Linda really is my safe youtuber. I'm so proud of you and try to remember it's okay to have bad days, bad weeks, just a bad time and that doesn't mean its a bad life. 💕
I recently stumbled onto this video, and I just want to tell you: Thank You. I've been feeling very low in my life right now and have been wanting to improve my life, but not know how. Thank you for showing me it's okay to want to focus on myself. Thank you for being another inspiration and motivation in my life. I hope both our journeys will continue and make 2022 our better year. Thank you!
u know what you are healing us💖
Linda I am 51 years old and I think you are such an inspiration, the battles never go away they just change....I worry about you, look after yourself please 💞
I'm not crying, you are, I didn't even know I needed this today, but thank you for everything and you got this!
i've had a really rough past few months, especially dealing with food, and I know this sounds so cringey but this video just made me smile. knowing I'm not alone and this is all normal felt like a genuine hug through the screen. thank you so much linda and everyone else that can admit when they're struggling, because it honestly gives other people who are dealing with similar things strength.
These videos are lit art and talk about how a lot of us are feeling now 🙌 the editing, the talk, the quotes and everything are perfect and not only help Linda, help us to make us stronger and better each day 🙏
This is what I've been working on telling myself the past two months and I've felt an incredible shift in my mental clarity. Be easy with yourself now, we have all had incredible challenges and heartaches over the past couple years and it's time for us to love ourselves and to heal. Sometimes the problem isn't what's in front of us, but what we're allowing to consume us. You got this!
This is seven months late but I just wanted to thank you for somehow always saying the right thing. Your videos never fail to make me feel better about my insecurities. You really are helping me mend my relationship with food and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you Linda
Linda, you are probably the biggest reason why I got over my disordered eating and my need to live for other people's satisfaction. I'm not saying they're not there anymore, but you remind me to accept myself, flaws and all. You're an inspiration to so many because you're human, and seeing someone else just existing makes it easier for the rest of us. Thank you :3
I came across your channel today. I’ve been on youtube for 3 years and finally today, I found a channel (yours) that speaks to me in every sense of the word!
Im on the same path and your journey is soooooo relatable. 🥺
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve lost myself completely. I have no motivation to get out of bed anymore and to start working out again since i got covid. i was doing so good before i got covid and was finally starting to love myself, but then i lost a lot of weight… and i’m underweight again. it all just hurts knowing all that progress i made with glute and leg gains and weight gain is just gone… all for nothing. it took forever to get where i was and it took a week to lose it all. to lose myself once again. i don’t know when i’ll be happy, i don’t know when i’ll be back to myself, i don’t know when i’ll start working out again and love my body, but i do know that i will keep pushing to get myself out of bed and pushing myself to be the strong person i know i could be. 2022 will be my year. i WILL achieve most of my goals, if not all. i can not wait. i will make it.
Genuinely one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. It was one of those moments but I feel so better after watching this. I’m so happy I’ve found your channel! Thank you for doing this
Linda always seems to say exactly what I need to hear in every video... Thank you Linda, you are such a beautiful light in this world!
The narration is comforting! Everyone is trying too. Love you linda 💗
Girl I am so glad I found your video. It hit my soul just right , you brought tears of resonation and release…Many blessings to you , beautiful soul ☮️💟❤️
i am SO glad you talked about how sometimes the most basic human activities (talking, pretending to be in a good mood, eating, living) are exhausting. its so true and can be so difficult to get past when you’re in a down phase. although, on the flip side, there are up phases of life where those simple activities are super fun and exciting! i find that throughout the month (especially with hormones) i swap between feeling elated by everything in life, to not having it in me to put in effort to do the smallest tasks. but i know the fluctuations are pretty normal, and that the hard times never last forever
I'm proud of you and all that you've accomplished in the last couple of years.
I appreciate how candid you are and I love that you're still making videos despite how you feel.
You've really helped me this pandemic. I have a better relationship with food and I workout for myself instead of trying to change my body because I don't like what I see.
So, thank you and I appreciate you :)
My safe and comfortable space she can do so much to change my mood she's adorable we love you Linda 😭😭💕💕💕
i love how shes always honest with us, it just makes me feel so much better because i feel like i'm not alone with all my problems
You have no idea how your words supported me in a dificult time, thank u so much! God blasses you
This video is so perfectly timed because I know exactly how you feel. I'm chronically stressed because of nursing school so I eat what I want to telling myself I'll workout, but then I never do because I'm either too stressed or too exhausted. Then my mental health bears the weight because I feel guilty about what I'm eating and that I'm not working out. I can always relate to your content and it always reminds me that it's okay if I'm not constantly working out and that I'm allowed to eat without feeling guilty. Thank you for always being transparent, Linda!
These past few weeks have been SO rough and sprinkles of joy like your videos and your oat and pancake recipe are what help me make it through the day. I relate to so many of your struggles and what you talk about, and it helps me not feel so alone. Thank you so much, I'll never be able to thank you enough.
You got this Linda. You are very young and have a long life ahead of you. Don’t let a number, a size, a man, a brand to define who you are. 20 years from now, you look back on this time in your life as the fun time, the moments where you can make mistakes and live freely! Enjoy! Happy Holidays!!!
These videos are so comforting it makes me emotional. I love you and keep doing this.
For the past 6 months I have been living in hell and negativity was leading me to the end of the road but now it's a week now that I'm watching your vedios, and I think I figured out what I was doing wrong and what I should do from now on.
And I owe this to you Linda. Thank you.
❤
Linda I am about your age and it is so cool to be going through this journey with you. You are wise beyond our years and so helpful to me to remind me about loving where I am at in my life and accepting the bad days-- it will get better. Thank you.
I always love how absolutely Raw and Real you are Linda you always hold a mirror up to actual issues and feelings that we all go through on the daily lately during these trying times...Thank you for being You we love you Linda please never change 😊
yess another comforting and insightful video from Linda
i haven’t watched linda in so long, I’m so glad I found her again, I love her. she makes me feel so comfy.
Every one of your videos hit so close to home for me, thank you Linda, you have no idea how much you’ve helped me 🥰🥰
Linda you are not aware how much you help others💚 Thank you💚
thank you so much linda for getting me through the last two years. i am forever greatful 💗
i love you so much and thank you. you have no idea how refreshing it feels to hear these things from someone
I sit down with coffee and breakfast, put on Linda, a sigh of relief leaves my lips, I feel content now, the stress of the coming day leaves. Thank you Linda.
YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN GAH IT KEEPS SURPRISING ME BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST INCREDIBLE
Linda, thank you so much for this video. For sharing your journey, your highs and lows with us. And thank you for your words. Christmas is the hardest time of the year for my mental health. This year was even harder then the past years because I gained a lot of (healthy) weight. Seeing my new body on family photos hit me so hard. I just cant stop crying for two days now. One hour ago, I finally made it out of bed- and found your video. Im still crying, even harder than before. But now, Im crying because Im so proud of you. And also proud of myself. Im crying because you destroyed all my thoughts that wanted me to give up. In just 23 minutes. I will never, never, never give up, because losing weight and restricting leads me to giving up my family, my future, my friends, my health, my strength and my freedom. I dont want to be the toxic person in my life anymore. Stay strong, we love you. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you so much for being this voice of kindness and reason 😭 your balance of taking care of yourself and giving yourself what you want/love is so inspiring
"You’re going to figure it all out, it you don’t have to figure it out right now." Aawwweee! Thank you for that! I needed it…🥺❤️
I have grown big and hearing u always makes me eat what I want to eat. That no one is perfect and everybody has their own problems.2 years back if I had grown this big I would literally think of eating only apple and eating less rice but now I eat as much I want. And Linda u have always motivated me to love myself. Thank u so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and love u form the bottom of my heart 💖💖
i hope you know how much your videos help people. i needed this so much right now and watching this made me cry. thank you
you are my comfort person and i love you so much. i’ve followed you since the start and it’s been a privilege to witness your soul shine stronger in every video, you inspire me so much thank you for encouraging me to be strong
It is inspiring how you dont let the bad body image days or the days you turn to your old disordered habits turn into a relapse (thats how I interpreted it). Ive been struggeling w that for the past few months. Your voice is so calming to listen to! Thanks for the message you're spreading!❤💪
you are so wonderful! pls never give up on yourself, I'm so thankful for you and I'm sure I'm not alone!
Linda I love you and I’m so proud of YOU. I cannot express how much your videos have changed my life. You remind me why we’re all here. I’m so grateful for you and your videos. 💛
LINDA YOU ALWAYS manage to change my perspective on things and it honestly blows my mind. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
The part where you said to connect with those who make your life richer really spoke out to me. Recently I had to cut off a friendship of 5 years and it was really hard. Even though it hurt I knew it had to be done for my mental health. Love you and your videos!!
Your videos help my mental health so much, Linda! I am so thankful that I found your channel this past year. :) You are so amazing for being your wonderful self, and for letting us have someone to connect to when we feel misunderstood. It might sound weird, but I love you like a best friend. Please keep up the great work!
