I love how you say that complementing on someone’s body is not everything… it‘s so much more important to like what‘s inside, to like somebody for who they are and not just what they look like ❤️
Yes, most of my life I thought this was obvious and that everyone else thought like this too,but then I realized how materialistic and appearance-oriented the world actually is. I've always made told myself to try my best each time my brain goes to judge a person by appearance,and instead to feel their energy first and their personality.💞
i have gained a lot of weight since holidays and i can't stop thinking about it. Thank you for your videos i try to forgive myself and stop caring about what others think
Me too, gained 4 kilogram in my holidays in only 3 weeks, and 1-2 weeks after my vacation I gained 4 kilogram more. Now I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks. I can definitely see in the mirror that I have gained more weight, but I just don't care a lot. You just have to avoid thinking about it. And ask yourself: What is wrong if I gained weight? Does it make me to a bad person? I know that it can be hard to ''just not thinking about it'', but it isn't worth to feel bad just because you gained weight.
Please don't feel guilty about it, weight comes and goes, focus on the healthy side, on what makes you feel good in your belli but also in your brain, listen to your body，make healthy choices (which includes eating) and work out, even a little xxx
"I looked hard at my faith, my friendships, my work, my sexuality, my entire life and asked: How much of this was my idea? ...Who was I before I became who the world told me to be?" Such a powerful quote.
Today was a hard day for me - particularly because I can't exercise since I twisted my foot, and had intense anxiety about eating. This video is such a gem - everything is worth reading and listening to. 🧡🧡
Hi :)))) That sucks that you twisted your foot! Don't get anxious about it though. I know not being able to workout sucks! (I was just sick for 2 weeks with the flu), but just remember, that you can still meditate or go on small walks to stay healthy :) It took me sooooooooo long to realize this, but just because you don't workout, that doesn't mean you are fat or any less beautiful! You go wear that crop top proudly with the rolls showing, you go wear those short shorts and show off those stretch marks! the fact is, EVERY woman on this planet has rolls and stretchmarks and fat! That doesn't make us any less beautiful! Just remember that :) I for an example LOVE doing workouts! Not because I want to loose weight or anything, but because they make me feel great, because I love being able to do each workout better and see the progress that my body is making! Because it is so healthy for me to do and because after each workout I always look forward to my Yoga stretch! If you're still reading this: YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMZING AND SOOO WORTHY OF SELF LOVE! I love you and I am so proud of you 💖💖💖
Why is Linda literally my therapist?? Thank you for making authentic content on a platform so wrapped in diet culture! Like diet culture makes food such an enemy!
What you said about pleasing everyone and trying to fit in resonated with me so much…Thank you for showing up as yourself here in the internet space ❤️
I just wanted to say that you changed my life, my perspective, the way I see things now is way different from before. I am able to listen to my body and finally be truly happy. Thank you for everything, I can't express in words how much joy and happiness you bring me. Sometimes, you are the reason I wake up every morning along with built bars😅
LINDAAAA we’re gonna need a podcast, i love listening to you i swear your videos make me look at life differently every time and (if you have the time and want to put in the effort if not it’s completely okay i know you are swamped rn) i would love to listen to you more because the things you have to say are so important❤️❤️
i seriously can't stop watching lindas videos and i always feel like i need a snack afterwards bc she makes food seem.. less scary! the stuff she says always resonates with me but recently.. i think i've been over exercising and my whole body hurts. i have hyper mobility so all my joints are hurting but idk if i can stop exercising everyday.. i get so anxious if i miss a day and eat less and then just do double the next day to make up for it. tbh i've only ever been praised or liked for my appearance and while i've got to a point where i don't care too much about what people think of me.. i just feel too exhausted to deal with the comments and the disappointment on my parents faces if i were to be who i really am. whether that meant gaining some weight or wearing the clothes that i actually like even if my tummy pokes out or just admitting chocolate is my favourite food.. it's like that opportunity to be myself is right there in front of me but i'm just too tired to deal with the consequences. sorry for rambling i just thought someone might relate and feel comforted by reading this.. also thank you linda for making food and life seem less scary even just for 20 minutes of my day, you're truly beautiful and inspiring and i hope so many young people come across your videos 🤍
@ilooklikebread honestly, same. I hope you know that it's just not your body that people should see, they should also see who you are on the inside. The people around you should love and appreciate you for who you are not for your looks; and if they don't they aren't the right people for you. Also if chocolate is your favourite food that's okay! Plus your stomach is supposed to poke a little its got organs inside it :) I know its hard but please try and take take to rest your body, its working so hard for you and you need to take care of it. Also I love your pfp! Im also a stay, im seungmin biased
All i can say Is thank you For being you For inspiring others For promoting happiness while still having a healthy life For these amazing voiceovers You are incredible Thank you
I swear whenever I see that you’ve posted I get this warm feeling inside, and it’s like u know me cause you always post right when I’m doubting my decision to get better or when I’m relapsing , thank you so much Linda , you’re my angel and I absolutely adore you , thank you ❤️❤️
this is going to be so long but who cares. linda idk if you will ever read this but you truly are an inspiration for me. i only found your channel a couple days ago (and I've watched so many of your videos) but you have really had an impact on my life. my grandmothers name was kinda and she was an inspiration for me as well. i have struggled with an eating disorder for about 5 months. I know that's not as long as other people but it still doesn't feel good. i count calories, try to eat as healthy as possible and you have been making me want to stop that and recover. oke sorry for ranting lol. byeeeee
literally crying while watching this Linda:( It's a happy- sad moment for me. Super happy that I stumbled upon your channel but also sad that I viewed things negatively before. You're right! I should absolutely listen to my body
Literally just love watching lindas videos and im not gonna lie im always watching her old videos until she uploads another one and i think I've watched every single video like 10x by now hehe and i dont regret watching it over and over again:)) Its like watchibg your fav tvshow/movie over and over again and never getting tired of it.
Lindaa if I could just be so demanding for a moment, may I put in a request for a podcast! I think that your UA-cam videos definitely give me that vibe, and my life would be complete if I could listen to Linda freakin Suns encouragement for a longer period of time!
Im proud that i'm 19 and already in my third year of my education and probally will finish my university degree being 21 ! And i'm slowly learning to love myself and that I should be proud of my body instead of hating it
i just realized why i love linda's vids so much, it shows the life I want while listening to the smartest and warmest poems. please make a poetry book or a podcast please please please linda.
hi linda. im only two minutes in the video and i'm already crying a lot. i had a horrible day where i thought i was the most unworthy person in the world. it's this feeling of being ridiculous, never enough, like no one wants me here. and i've hated myself so much today, because i feel anxious all the time, because i'm around people that are all better than me and i feel like i can never be as good as they are. because i feel like i'm lacking of everything, in school, in social life, in my image about myself. it's feeling like you don't deserve a place in the world, like you will never be enough. that's what i feel and i've been struggling with those thoughts since a while and it's very hard. and the way you spoke about all those things in the beginning, like this huge gap between what people expect me to be and what i am, like feeling never ever enough. i wouldn't know how to express how much you mean to me like i needed to hear that. it's so hard but at least hearing it, it helps even a little and i'm so thankful. and i'm crying so much while writing this, it's just that i wanted to tell you that i'm grateful for you because you're probably one of the persons who help me the most when it gets hard to be okay. i hope you're taking care of yourself, lots of hugs and love
Can ya'll believe this video made me cry? Especially the part where she ends the video with "Be who you want to be not that person the world wants you to be." Thank you Linda. I love your content!
I am 37 years old and a mother of 7. I truly search for your videos. Your video content is so uplifting and inspiring, it takes a bad day for me to a joyous one. Keep doing what you are doing. 💕
Recently I felt bad because I thought if I couldn’t do hardcore exercises like Linda and other people, then I’m in the wrong. But nope! Just turns out my body and lifestyle needs a different exercise and I found swimming to be mine! Many ways to improve that aren’t scale based (i.e. time, laps,). Add this with eating foods I like within a balance of eating what my body needs and what my body wants. Wouldn’t you know weeks later after being scared to weigh myself I stepped on and reached a new milestone (lowest)!! I am losing at a healthy amount per week after learning what my body needs, and that my body is no one but my own, meaning I don’t want the same workout or foods as some people. Find what works for YOU!!!
I needed this, I’m going on vacation next week and I’ve been mentally preparing myself for months to not restrict. I’ve been good about it in my daily life but vacations are a new challenge. It’s sad how many vacations I’ve spent either tracking or binging or restricting.
I became sensitive after hearing your words, really for the first time I feel mature and strong after everything I've been through I realize How do I treat myself the wrong way, I consider my mirror as the thoughts of the people around me before I am I realized why it is hard for me to feel self-sufficient You made me cry and review myself, take care of myself in a right way, and ask myself what kind of love I need to give myself I wish everyone around me had your inspiring and understanding thinking, my wish!! Your simply a friend who hears us from a distance ❤️ very comforting person, with all my love❤️❤️❤️❤️
I swear Linda's videos upload at the exact moment I need them ❤️ Linda - thank you once again for sharing your world and being you. You spend whole videos encouraging each and every one of us, but I want YOU to know that YOU ARE ENOUGH too. Your best is enough. Thank you for helping change my mindset about myself and who I can be xx To fellow viewers - Thank you for being another person in this world; for making it what it is. It's not perfect, but it holds millions of beautiful people....and you are one of them. Smile. You are loved. Wanted. Cherished. And most of all, you are alive. (Also, I feel like we need a name for this group of strangers that bond over learning how to become truer, healthier versions of our beautiful selves. Sun Tribe anyone??)
i love how i went from watching linda's videos to make myself not feel bad after eating a meal or snack that i didn't plan, to watching her while i eat something i never would've thought i would be consuming without guilt. thank you, linda.
I know that you are probably already working hard on your next video, but I just wanted to tell you HOW MUCH these videos help me with my recovery! I had a full blown panic attack this past Monday because I felt so out of control by not stepping on the scale or doing less calories....and then I watched a few of your videos and it brought me back down to earth and showed me what a normal relationship with food is....oh and your pancakes? BOMB!!!
I was crying in the whole video bc she was so relatable. She always is. When she said who are you in the beginning I thought awful. I try so hard to be liked, to be respected, to be taken seriously in my job, at home, at school, nothings working ..
you genuinely make me feel better and helped me with my mental health Linda, I don't cry anymore when I step on the scale or look at myself in the mirror I no longer starve myself, I eat intuitively, some days salads, some days a whole box of cookies, some days lilly sabri, some days not getting out of bed and a soft smile every time I look at myself in the mirror, u are an amazing girl Linda, I love you soo much, more than I love brownies, let good things happen to you, your family and your loved ones and Milo of course.....♥♥♥
Everytime life gets rough I watch Lindas videos and she always says something so motivating as if she knew me and my problems. She always says the right things. She always calms me down and helps me get through everything. Thank you Linda. You mean everything to me.
I've been crying the whole day and this maked me cry harder omg linda i love you, thank you for being so nice, you don't know me but thank you for be here for me, really thank you for everything
I wanted to take a few minutes to really thank you for creating videos like that- sharing your experiences and giving so much strength and courage to other people (me included)! Honestly every time I watch your videos something makes click in my head. I always get to reflect on myself and this makes me realize the things I’ve been trying to avoid, like how I am ignoring the signs of my body just to ‘fit in’ or to not disappoint anyone. You are like my reminder and tell me the exact things I need to hear: I am worthy, I deserve to be happy. I don’t need to live a certain lifestyle, eat healthy, weigh a certain amount of weight, etc. cause that does not define me nor makes me happy. What defines me is my inner beauty, myself and not my physical appearance and if someone tells me otherwise I deeply feel sorry for them cause they rely on other peoples opinions and the society so much that they can’t be themselves and always chase for ‘the best version of themselves’ that society has written for them. I want to thank you for being a part of my self love journey, even if you don’t know me or I don’t know you personally but you really showed me, and a lot of other people, that it’s okay to be you, that it’s okay to not ‘fit in’ the high standards of society cause they don’t define you or your value in any way. Thank you for helping me accepting myself more and more, I’ll be forever grateful for how much you and your words helped me in a time where I got lost in trying to be the ‘perfect version of myself’ when it hasn’t even been me.🤍🤍🤍
I can't believe it is already a year since I've been coming to your channel. Time does sure flew by. To be honest... I am indebted to you greatly for the reason that you partly saved me from my eating disorder and man was it rough but I was so happy when I discovered your channel. It felt like you were speaking out loud what I was afraid of and it helped me . A lot . I'll always be thankful for that. Also a lot of thing have changed starting with me slowly healing from my ED and coming to a stage where I can enjoy almost all foods without fear . I no longer have to think about food all day. I am finally fueling myself enough to be satisfied. Back to the point. As I said your channel helped me greatly during my ED and during my recovery from ED since then I've felt that I don't enjoy your videos anymore because I already know most of the stuff you're telling us and I don't fear food anymore which basically means that It's kinda annoying to some point. Nonetheless, I think it's great to have a girl like you fight for our fears and also encourage us to be ourselves.You are one of the greatest youtubers I've ever watched. We definitely need more people like you !! Sadly I have to say goodbye and wish you good luck in the future. Love ya
Seeing Linda celebrate her brother’s birthday made me realise I’ve been watching her for a year! Love you Linda and can’t wait to continue to watch you
i gained 4kg since i started watching Linda's videos but i love it cause i don't even care about the weight anymore, i just enjoy the food, i exercice for my health and i no longer see food like an enemy, i listen to my cravings and my body when it needs fuel. thank u Linda
i’m proud of how i take the first step. i’m a leader stepping into a world others shame. i’m proud of how i push myself and how i enjoy the little things. i’m proud of my sensitive feelings because it allows me to have compassion for others. most importantly, i’m proud of my love for God and the person he’s created me to be :))
OK, damn, girll! I'm so excited about every single video of yours. You're one of the few real ones out there. Love what you do. Take care Linda, I love you!💛
what am I proud of? That I chose recovery, that I no longer want anorexia to be a part of my identity. I don't want to be defined by something that is slowly killing me. I want my life back. I will recover! Yes, I am exhausted and scared, but as Linda said, we are not alone. Life will get better only if you do. Change must happen because it is the only constant in this universe.... and that scares me and fills me with hope at the same time. To anyone struggling, stay strong, we can do hard things, together. Thank you, Linda, for yet another wonderful video 🙏 much love🤍🌺
Thank you Linda:) Just thank you for teaching us so much about body acceptance and loving your body , Thank you for all the positivity you've spread , thank you for showing us that it is okay to not love your body somtimes, thank you for being there for us and thank you so much for hepling us with our mind set... to fix it , to get it into the right direction, to focus on taking care of ourselves and to love ourselves♡ Thank you for sharing your journey, for sharibg your thoughts and helping us getting though hard times:)) Sending so much love
Hiiii ! I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you. You will be happy with God. D’ont be sad, always happy in your life. Read the Bible. God bless you 🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Finding who you are is such a hard and long process. It's ridiculous because you think you know but then something happens in your life and you feel like a stranger to yourself. The questions you ask are so deep and provoking that they made me cry. Because I'm still trying to figure out who I am beyond my dreams, relationships, behaviors. Thank you for being so open, so kind and inspiring!
I still can't get over Linda's channel, all the videos are so well done, she always says something that feels right to me that feels like something I've needed to hear. I don't know what it is but her channel just makes me so happy and at peace.😊 Such a vibe
I cried a little tbh! I came across your videos not long ago but I already love you AND have started to love myself and appreciate myself a bit more. Lately I have not been motivated to do anything just lay and scroll on my phone.. your videos give me strength... didn't even realise that I wait for your new videos every week now. Just sending love and telling you to continue this great thing you're doing.. no pressure 💞
Hey Linda. I cried when I watched this video. I was feeling so lost over the lost few weeks, and your videos made my day a million times better. Thank you for your videos and affirmations and messages. You’re amazing, love ❤️
I’ve felt shitty all week bc it’s midterm week and I’m burnt out, I constantly forget to eat even though I love food. Thank you for reminding me to get up and nourish my body
I see you doing that Caroline Girvan calisthenics workout !!! You go girl, workout because you feel strong and want to, eat when you feel hungry and want to. You're such a huge inspiration to everyone out there. Lots of love 💕
I remeber when I had an ed, always watching your videos wishing I could think like you, I’ve had a terrible relationship to working out which I’m still working on. Now here I am recovered and coming back to your videos I am so thankful thank you so so much!!!!
Thank you for this video today. I have had the worst month and a half in my life and it has pretty much destroyed me but your words made me relax and just breathe and get back on track. I am a bit older than you but your words definition transcend age. Thank you for always pushing forward everyday and inspiring the world around you! ❤️
Linda, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video ❤️😭❤️ For the past three months I've been eating relatively healthy while still enjoying myself during school period but then the holidays hit and I realised how much I was restricting myself. For the past week, I've been travelling to so many places I haven't went in a long time and went all out with my food. I tried everything, ate everything, finished everything but inside, I feel like everything I have eaten will stay there. Words cannot express how anxious I am about eating so so so so so much and even though I still exercise, I'm not losing any fat with my bad diet. Before the holidays, I told myself I could eat the things I wanted but I have to eat everything in moderation. But when the time came, I just couldn't stop putting food into my mouth. It just kept coming and coming and coming, I wasn't hungry but I never felt full either. As someone who used to overeat, that is the worst situation for me to be in. I am so worried about falling into the habit of overeating again, it really is a scary thing to exist. Before this, I have eaten everything in control, I started with a small breakfast because I wasn't as hungry in the morning, fruit and a small snack in between, a reasonably sized lunch, yoghurt with granola in the afternoon and a dinner which always left me too full. Then after a month, I cut out my yoghurt and granola into the afternoon, had a smaller portion of lunch but I still always had too much dinner. After lowering the amount of food I ate in a healthy way, I was losing weight and felt full after a day's worth of food. All of that progress is messed up now. I don't even know how to come back to it because now, I feel hungry for most of the day, just like how I did when I was overeating. Sorry for the long comment and thanks to anybody who gave a care reading this, have a wonderful day, love u all ❤️
Firstly Linda helped me out of my eating disorder, no cap. There were a lot of other things but I won’t hesitate giving her so much credit bec her vids validated my feelings and my hunger. Secondly after losing about 10 kilos now I’ve come back to almost when I started to lose weight two years ago bec I thought this was way too much which surprisingly I don’t feel now, I lift weights now so that’s helpful but apart from that Linda changed my whole outlook and helped me live better, thanks Linda you’re a blessing for many. Your vids kept me going every week in 2020. Everyday was a struggle so I rewatched until I fed myself and told myself that it’s okay and it’s what was needed to be done. No excuses. Ps: I also stopped taking seven flights of stairs which I used to every single day bec of my over exercise disorder. For some of us, taking the lift over stairs and avoiding unnecessary obsessions is a win so yeyy
I have memory lost and I forgot who the person to make my life a bit better and I finally found u again :> thank you for this words, I've been insecure and concious about my body but this made me feel less concious about it. I'm happy I found u again. Thank you!
Today I went back to the gym at 5:30 this morning after a few weeks of not going… you mentioning going that early just felt like a sign that I needed. Loved this video❤️
I gained 15 lbs in quarantine and it may not sound like a lot but my body has changed. I had a hard time loving my body and eating the foods I love. Linda thank you for your videos. I’m in love with my body and I eat all my favorite foods regardless of what people would say.
My heart is so happy every time I see a new video pop up. Linda I had the same problem as you, then one day I saw a "what I eat in a week" by Linda Sun and my heart told me to watch it. After I was done watching it I felt ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Linda you inspire me to love my body for what it is and can do and not what it looks like. I love your account SO SO SO much. If we met in person I feel like we would be besties. We both love food, we both can't function with out our peanut butter, we LOVE working out, we both think the purple boba is BOMB, and so, so much other stuff. :) Thank you for coming into my life through UA-cam. I LOVE YOU! Sincerly, Mackenzie
Linda, your the only youtuber whose playlist 'what I eat' I have just finished! All of these 24 videos I've watched and will now be on your other videos. I hope you are all well.
At 24 I have learned so much in regards to my body and perspective and being happy from Linda thank you you were oasis during 2020 and I will continue to watch you for as long as I can I hope you never stop
Entiendo muy poco lo que dices (por mi inglés básico) pero realmente no sabes lo mucho que me ayudaste en mi recuperación y también inspiraste en crear un canal en español sobre lo que como y dar mensajes de aliento, se que hay muchas niñas o jóvenes en este mundo que también están pasando por un TCA o una mala relación con la comida, solo quiero que sepan que no están sola, que pueden superar esto, juntas podemos ! Love u Proud of you 🌄💋
These videos are so beautifully put together, your voiceovers are so beautifully written and said, please write a book or something your language is so satisfying ♥
Love you linda your words literally heal my cluttered mind ...... and just tells me to love and appreciate my body for what it is doing for me everyday and just focus on being who I actually am and how I picture my own happiness.......can't thank you enough linda love you❤❤
Honestly every time that i am about to give up you inspire me, I hate my body I am trying to change for the best but it is very hard. I tried many times I always give up, but this time is different I can fell it I will change for the best, And the only one I need to thank is you for inspiring me to never give up.❤️
Thank you for almost single-handedly helping me build my body confidence and rebuild my relationship with exercise and food. Both are still works in progress but they are 1000x better than before COVID
i have been rewatching all your videos while hoping a new one pops up in my notifications/when i refresh your channel page :”-) thank you for uploading linda, you’re inspiring & amazing 🤍
"I've stopped asking people for the directions to places they have never been."
Amazing work. Loved listening, you have an incredible heart!
This is from the song “we can do hard things” that Glennon Doyle’s daughter wrote

I love how you say that complementing on someone’s body is not everything… it‘s so much more important to like what‘s inside, to like somebody for who they are and not just what they look like ❤️
Yes 100% I preach what she says and I stand by it. Something like this especially is one that I have always stood by and I will continue to!
Yaa she's comfy❤️
Yes I agree because your body is the least interesting thing about you🥰
Yes, most of my life I thought this was obvious and that everyone else thought like this too,but then I realized how materialistic and appearance-oriented the world actually is. I've always made told myself to try my best each time my brain goes to judge a person by appearance,and instead to feel their energy first and their personality.💞
“Going to school and getting back without crying” that hit so close to home.
i have gained a lot of weight since holidays and i can't stop thinking about it. Thank you for your videos i try to forgive myself and stop caring about what others think
Same here 🥺
Me too, gained 4 kilogram in my holidays in only 3 weeks, and 1-2 weeks after my vacation I gained 4 kilogram more. Now I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks. I can definitely see in the mirror that I have gained more weight, but I just don't care a lot. You just have to avoid thinking about it. And ask yourself: What is wrong if I gained weight? Does it make me to a bad person? I know that it can be hard to ''just not thinking about it'', but it isn't worth to feel bad just because you gained weight.
Please don't feel guilty about it, weight comes and goes, focus on the healthy side, on what makes you feel good in your belli but also in your brain, listen to your body，make healthy choices (which includes eating) and work out, even a little xxx
@Amrita Kaur thank you so much honey but it's hard cause i've lost 15 kilos and gained it ALL back after months of hard work:(
@Amrita Kaur thank you so much stay safe💖
Who else watches Linda’s videos more than once because this is such a safe and comforting place?
youtube glows when linda posts. she's such a light.

agreed :)
"I looked hard at my faith, my friendships, my work, my sexuality, my entire life and asked: How much of this was my idea? ...Who was I before I became who the world told me to be?"
Such a powerful quote.
Today was a hard day for me - particularly because I can't exercise since I twisted my foot, and had intense anxiety about eating. This video is such a gem - everything is worth reading and listening to. 🧡🧡
You can still do some exercises! It would be more like palates though
Heyyyy
Hi :)))) That sucks that you twisted your foot! Don't get anxious about it though. I know not being able to workout sucks! (I was just sick for 2 weeks with the flu), but just remember, that you can still meditate or go on small walks to stay healthy :) It took me sooooooooo long to realize this, but just because you don't workout, that doesn't mean you are fat or any less beautiful! You go wear that crop top proudly with the rolls showing, you go wear those short shorts and show off those stretch marks! the fact is, EVERY woman on this planet has rolls and stretchmarks and fat! That doesn't make us any less beautiful! Just remember that :) I for an example LOVE doing workouts! Not because I want to loose weight or anything, but because they make me feel great, because I love being able to do each workout better and see the progress that my body is making! Because it is so healthy for me to do and because after each workout I always look forward to my Yoga stretch! If you're still reading this: YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMZING AND SOOO WORTHY OF SELF LOVE! I love you and I am so proud of you 💖💖💖

Why is Linda literally my therapist?? Thank you for making authentic content on a platform so wrapped in diet culture! Like diet culture makes food such an enemy!
"you're not asking for too much, you're just asking for love"
This had me in tears because i so needed this. You're incredible Linda.
What you said about pleasing everyone and trying to fit in resonated with me so much…Thank you for showing up as yourself here in the internet space ❤️
I just wanted to say that you changed my life, my perspective, the way I see things now is way different from before. I am able to listen to my body and finally be truly happy. Thank you for everything, I can't express in words how much joy and happiness you bring me. Sometimes, you are the reason I wake up every morning along with built bars😅

LINDAAAA we’re gonna need a podcast, i love listening to you i swear your videos make me look at life differently every time and (if you have the time and want to put in the effort if not it’s completely okay i know you are swamped rn) i would love to listen to you more because the things you have to say are so important❤️❤️
i seriously can't stop watching lindas videos and i always feel like i need a snack afterwards bc she makes food seem.. less scary! the stuff she says always resonates with me but recently.. i think i've been over exercising and my whole body hurts. i have hyper mobility so all my joints are hurting but idk if i can stop exercising everyday.. i get so anxious if i miss a day and eat less and then just do double the next day to make up for it. tbh i've only ever been praised or liked for my appearance and while i've got to a point where i don't care too much about what people think of me.. i just feel too exhausted to deal with the comments and the disappointment on my parents faces if i were to be who i really am. whether that meant gaining some weight or wearing the clothes that i actually like even if my tummy pokes out or just admitting chocolate is my favourite food.. it's like that opportunity to be myself is right there in front of me but i'm just too tired to deal with the consequences. sorry for rambling i just thought someone might relate and feel comforted by reading this.. also thank you linda for making food and life seem less scary even just for 20 minutes of my day, you're truly beautiful and inspiring and i hope so many young people come across your videos 🤍
@ilooklikebread honestly, same. I hope you know that it's just not your body that people should see, they should also see who you are on the inside. The people around you should love and appreciate you for who you are not for your looks; and if they don't they aren't the right people for you. Also if chocolate is your favourite food that's okay! Plus your stomach is supposed to poke a little its got organs inside it :) I know its hard but please try and take take to rest your body, its working so hard for you and you need to take care of it. Also I love your pfp! Im also a stay, im seungmin biased
All i can say Is thank you
For being you
For inspiring others
For promoting happiness while still having a healthy life
For these amazing voiceovers
You are incredible
Thank you
I'm so glad Linda is doing this for free bc this right here feels like therapy and I can't afford actual therapy
I swear whenever I see that you’ve posted I get this warm feeling inside, and it’s like u know me cause you always post right when I’m doubting my decision to get better or when I’m relapsing , thank you so much Linda , you’re my angel and I absolutely adore you , thank you ❤️❤️
this is going to be so long but who cares. linda idk if you will ever read this but you truly are an inspiration for me. i only found your channel a couple days ago (and I've watched so many of your videos) but you have really had an impact on my life. my grandmothers name was kinda and she was an inspiration for me as well. i have struggled with an eating disorder for about 5 months. I know that's not as long as other people but it still doesn't feel good. i count calories, try to eat as healthy as possible and you have been making me want to stop that and recover. oke sorry for ranting lol. byeeeee
Kinda is a good name:)
Just because your ED isn’t “As bad as other people’s” doesn’t mean it’s not “bad enough” to need help
Jup, you are "sick enough" to get help and to get better, I wish u lot's of strength, you can do this, no one ever regretted recovery
literally crying while watching this Linda:( It's a happy- sad moment for me. Super happy that I stumbled upon your channel but also sad that I viewed things negatively before. You're right! I should absolutely listen to my body
Literally just love watching lindas videos and im not gonna lie im always watching her old videos until she uploads another one and i think I've watched every single video like 10x by now hehe and i dont regret watching it over and over again:)) Its like watchibg your fav tvshow/movie over and over again and never getting tired of it.
Lindaa if I could just be so demanding for a moment, may I put in a request for a podcast! I think that your UA-cam videos definitely give me that vibe, and my life would be complete if I could listen to Linda freakin Suns encouragement for a longer period of time!
Im proud that i'm 19 and already in my third year of my education and probally will finish my university degree being 21 ! And i'm slowly learning to love myself and that I should be proud of my body instead of hating it
Thank you Sabra Ahmed ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know how but she always manages to post whenever I need her the most
i just realized why i love linda's vids so much, it shows the life I want while listening to the smartest and warmest poems. please make a poetry book or a podcast please please please linda.
hi linda. im only two minutes in the video and i'm already crying a lot. i had a horrible day where i thought i was the most unworthy person in the world. it's this feeling of being ridiculous, never enough, like no one wants me here. and i've hated myself so much today, because i feel anxious all the time, because i'm around people that are all better than me and i feel like i can never be as good as they are. because i feel like i'm lacking of everything, in school, in social life, in my image about myself. it's feeling like you don't deserve a place in the world, like you will never be enough. that's what i feel and i've been struggling with those thoughts since a while and it's very hard. and the way you spoke about all those things in the beginning, like this huge gap between what people expect me to be and what i am, like feeling never ever enough. i wouldn't know how to express how much you mean to me like i needed to hear that. it's so hard but at least hearing it, it helps even a little and i'm so thankful. and i'm crying so much while writing this, it's just that i wanted to tell you that i'm grateful for you because you're probably one of the persons who help me the most when it gets hard to be okay. i hope you're taking care of yourself, lots of hugs and love
"This life is mine alone. So I have to stop asking people directions to places they've never been."
This hit hard
Yes
Can ya'll believe this video made me cry? Especially the part where she ends the video with "Be who you want to be not that person the world wants you to be." Thank you Linda. I love your content!
I am 37 years old and a mother of 7. I truly search for your videos. Your video content is so uplifting and inspiring, it takes a bad day for me to a joyous one. Keep doing what you are doing. 💕
Recently I felt bad because I thought if I couldn’t do hardcore exercises like Linda and other people, then I’m in the wrong. But nope! Just turns out my body and lifestyle needs a different exercise and I found swimming to be mine! Many ways to improve that aren’t scale based (i.e. time, laps,). Add this with eating foods I like within a balance of eating what my body needs and what my body wants. Wouldn’t you know weeks later after being scared to weigh myself I stepped on and reached a new milestone (lowest)!! I am losing at a healthy amount per week after learning what my body needs, and that my body is no one but my own, meaning I don’t want the same workout or foods as some people. Find what works for YOU!!!
you go girl !!
I needed this, I’m going on vacation next week and I’ve been mentally preparing myself for months to not restrict. I’ve been good about it in my daily life but vacations are a new challenge. It’s sad how many vacations I’ve spent either tracking or binging or restricting.
My favourite part of these videos is honestly the food. I could literally just watch a compilation of all of her recipes❤️💜🧡💛
I became sensitive after hearing your words, really for the first time I feel mature and strong after everything I've been through
I realize How do I treat myself the wrong way,
I consider my mirror as the thoughts of the people around me
before I am
I realized why it is hard for me to feel self-sufficient
You made me cry and review myself, take care of myself in a right way, and ask myself what kind of love I need to give myself
I wish everyone around me had your inspiring and understanding thinking, my wish!!
Your simply a friend who hears us from a distance ❤️ very comforting person, with all my love❤️❤️❤️❤️
please make a podcast i would love to just listen to it i know it would provide me so much mental clarity bc ur voiceovers always hit the spot
I cannot describe how you have changed my perception of life ❤️ you're such a loving person Linda and many many ppl are thankful for your words ❤️🥺
I swear Linda's videos upload at the exact moment I need them ❤️
Linda - thank you once again for sharing your world and being you. You spend whole videos encouraging each and every one of us, but I want YOU to know that YOU ARE ENOUGH too. Your best is enough. Thank you for helping change my mindset about myself and who I can be xx
To fellow viewers - Thank you for being another person in this world; for making it what it is. It's not perfect, but it holds millions of beautiful people....and you are one of them. Smile. You are loved. Wanted. Cherished. And most of all, you are alive.
(Also, I feel like we need a name for this group of strangers that bond over learning how to become truer, healthier versions of our beautiful selves. Sun Tribe anyone??)
i love how i went from watching linda's videos to make myself not feel bad after eating a meal or snack that i didn't plan, to watching her while i eat something i never would've thought i would be consuming without guilt. thank you, linda.
I know that you are probably already working hard on your next video, but I just wanted to tell you HOW MUCH these videos help me with my recovery! I had a full blown panic attack this past Monday because I felt so out of control by not stepping on the scale or doing less calories....and then I watched a few of your videos and it brought me back down to earth and showed me what a normal relationship with food is....oh and your pancakes? BOMB!!!
I was crying in the whole video bc she was so relatable. She always is. When she said who are you in the beginning I thought awful. I try so hard to be liked, to be respected, to be taken seriously in my job, at home, at school, nothings working ..
WHY I ALWAYS END UP CRYING WITH LINDA'S VIDEOS? love u so much thanks for this amazing content
you genuinely make me feel better and helped me with my mental health Linda, I don't cry anymore when I step on the scale or look at myself in the mirror I no longer starve myself, I eat intuitively, some days salads, some days a whole box of cookies, some days lilly sabri, some days not getting out of bed and a soft smile every time I look at myself in the mirror, u are an amazing girl Linda, I love you soo much, more than I love brownies, let good things happen to you, your family and your loved ones and Milo of course.....♥♥♥
Your videos, your messages move me to tears. What you create is art, truly inspiring.
Everytime life gets rough I watch Lindas videos and she always says something so motivating as if she knew me and my problems. She always says the right things. She always calms me down and helps me get through everything. Thank you Linda. You mean everything to me.
I've been crying the whole day and this maked me cry harder omg linda i love you, thank you for being so nice, you don't know me but thank you for be here for me, really thank you for everything
one of the best parts of watching your videos is really watching you evolve and overcome your fears. I am literally so proud of you
I wanted to take a few minutes to really thank you for creating videos like that- sharing your experiences and giving so much strength and courage to other people (me included)!
Honestly every time I watch your videos something makes click in my head. I always get to reflect on myself and this makes me realize the things I’ve been trying to avoid, like how I am ignoring the signs of my body just to ‘fit in’ or to not disappoint anyone.
You are like my reminder and tell me the exact things I need to hear: I am worthy, I deserve to be happy. I don’t need to live a certain lifestyle, eat healthy, weigh a certain amount of weight, etc. cause that does not define me nor makes me happy. What defines me is my inner beauty, myself and not my physical appearance and if someone tells me otherwise I deeply feel sorry for them cause they rely on other peoples opinions and the society so much that they can’t be themselves and always chase for ‘the best version of themselves’ that society has written for them.
I want to thank you for being a part of my self love journey, even if you don’t know me or I don’t know you personally but you really showed me, and a lot of other people, that it’s okay to be you, that it’s okay to not ‘fit in’ the high standards of society cause they don’t define you or your value in any way. Thank you for helping me accepting myself more and more, I’ll be forever grateful for how much you and your words helped me in a time where I got lost in trying to be the ‘perfect version of myself’ when it hasn’t even been me.🤍🤍🤍
I can't believe it is already a year since I've been coming to your channel. Time does sure flew by. To be honest... I am indebted to you greatly for the reason that you partly saved me from my eating disorder and man was it rough but I was so happy when I discovered your channel. It felt like you were speaking out loud what I was afraid of and it helped me . A lot . I'll always be thankful for that. Also a lot of thing have changed starting with me slowly healing from my ED and coming to a stage where I can enjoy almost all foods without fear . I no longer have to think about food all day. I am finally fueling myself enough to be satisfied. Back to the point. As I said your channel helped me greatly during my ED and during my recovery from ED since then I've felt that I don't enjoy your videos anymore because I already know most of the stuff you're telling us and I don't fear food anymore which basically means that It's kinda annoying to some point. Nonetheless, I think it's great to have a girl like you fight for our fears and also encourage us to be ourselves.You are one of the greatest youtubers I've ever watched. We definitely need more people like you !! Sadly I have to say goodbye and wish you good luck in the future. Love ya
Seeing Linda celebrate her brother’s birthday made me realise I’ve been watching her for a year! Love you Linda and can’t wait to continue to watch you
i gained 4kg since i started watching Linda's videos but i love it cause i don't even care about the weight anymore, i just enjoy the food, i exercice for my health and i no longer see food like an enemy, i listen to my cravings and my body when it needs fuel. thank u Linda
Linda posted you alll😭😭😭 I missed he so much. The editing, the food, her voice. She literally reminds me to eat🥺💜
i’m proud of how i take the first step. i’m a leader stepping into a world others shame. i’m proud of how i push myself and how i enjoy the little things. i’m proud of my sensitive feelings because it allows me to have compassion for others. most importantly, i’m proud of my love for God and the person he’s created me to be :))
"Stop asking people for directions to places they've never been"
Yes Linda.
OK, damn, girll! I'm so excited about every single video of yours. You're one of the few real ones out there. Love what you do. Take care Linda, I love you!💛
what am I proud of? That I chose recovery, that I no longer want anorexia to be a part of my identity. I don't want to be defined by something that is slowly killing me. I want my life back. I will recover! Yes, I am exhausted and scared, but as Linda said, we are not alone. Life will get better only if you do. Change must happen because it is the only constant in this universe.... and that scares me and fills me with hope at the same time.
To anyone struggling, stay strong, we can do hard things, together. Thank you, Linda, for yet another wonderful video 🙏 much love🤍🌺
Lately I've been overeating and everytime i end up feeling guilty because am starting to gain weight but this is what i really needed😭
linda’s youtube videos have genuinely changed my life and makes me have so much hope when i’m going through some of the toughest times in my life
Thank you Linda:) Just thank you for teaching us so much about body acceptance and loving your body , Thank you for all the positivity you've spread , thank you for showing us that it is okay to not love your body somtimes, thank you for being there for us and thank you so much for hepling us with our mind set... to fix it , to get it into the right direction, to focus on taking care of ourselves and to love ourselves♡ Thank you for sharing your journey, for sharibg your thoughts and helping us getting though hard times:)) Sending so much love
Hiiii ! I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you. You will be happy with God. D’ont be sad, always happy in your life. Read the Bible. God bless you 🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
watching your videos makes me feel like life is actually worth of living
Do you ever think about starting a podcast channel?? I sooooo much love you to talk about things and your voice is lovely and inspiring!!❤❤❤❤
Finding who you are is such a hard and long process. It's ridiculous because you think you know but then something happens in your life and you feel like a stranger to yourself. The questions you ask are so deep and provoking that they made me cry. Because I'm still trying to figure out who I am beyond my dreams, relationships, behaviors. Thank you for being so open, so kind and inspiring!
I still can't get over Linda's channel, all the videos are so well done, she always says something that feels right to me that feels like something I've needed to hear. I don't know what it is but her channel just makes me so happy and at peace.😊 Such a vibe
Thank you for truly being yourself in these videos, while also putting s o much effort into the editing. It’s so entertaining and uplifting.
You help me so much, Linda. Your videos are like a hug I get daily. Thanks for all these comforting videos.🥺💕
You've changed my life, the way I view food and how I see myself, so THANK YOU
I really love this human being, like she literally saves me and makes me feel better every day
you are such a light in our lives
I cried a little tbh! I came across your videos not long ago but I already love you AND have started to love myself and appreciate myself a bit more. Lately I have not been motivated to do anything just lay and scroll on my phone.. your videos give me strength... didn't even realise that I wait for your new videos every week now. Just sending love and telling you to continue this great thing you're doing.. no pressure 💞
Hey Linda. I cried when I watched this video. I was feeling so lost over the lost few weeks, and your videos made my day a million times better. Thank you for your videos and affirmations and messages. You’re amazing, love ❤️
YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING 😭💗
Thank you for being unapologetically yourself, it truly refreshes my soul every time 💗
things i love about myself: my discipline, me thinking about what i can actually do to make someones day better, my eyes
I’ve felt shitty all week bc it’s midterm week and I’m burnt out, I constantly forget to eat even though I love food. Thank you for reminding me to get up and nourish my body
Linda LINDA !!you changed the way I view food , THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART❤️
I see you doing that Caroline Girvan calisthenics workout !!! You go girl, workout because you feel strong and want to, eat when you feel hungry and want to. You're such a huge inspiration to everyone out there. Lots of love 💕
I remeber when I had an ed, always watching your videos wishing I could think like you, I’ve had a terrible relationship to working out which I’m still working on. Now here I am recovered and coming back to your videos I am so thankful thank you so so much!!!!
And this is why Linda is my favourite UA-camr ❤️
Thank you for this video today. I have had the worst month and a half in my life and it has pretty much destroyed me but your words made me relax and just breathe and get back on track. I am a bit older than you but your words definition transcend age. Thank you for always pushing forward everyday and inspiring the world around you! ❤️
Linda’s videos make me feel so motivated, happy, and confident 💖😊
I just want to let you know you’ve really helped me and healed my relationship with food. Thank you
I’m serious Linda, your videos have changed my life and helped me so much. Thank you so much, I love you💘
Linda, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video ❤️😭❤️
For the past three months I've been eating relatively healthy while still enjoying myself during school period but then the holidays hit and I realised how much I was restricting myself. For the past week, I've been travelling to so many places I haven't went in a long time and went all out with my food. I tried everything, ate everything, finished everything but inside, I feel like everything I have eaten will stay there. Words cannot express how anxious I am about eating so so so so so much and even though I still exercise, I'm not losing any fat with my bad diet. Before the holidays, I told myself I could eat the things I wanted but I have to eat everything in moderation. But when the time came, I just couldn't stop putting food into my mouth. It just kept coming and coming and coming, I wasn't hungry but I never felt full either. As someone who used to overeat, that is the worst situation for me to be in. I am so worried about falling into the habit of overeating again, it really is a scary thing to exist. Before this, I have eaten everything in control, I started with a small breakfast because I wasn't as hungry in the morning, fruit and a small snack in between, a reasonably sized lunch, yoghurt with granola in the afternoon and a dinner which always left me too full. Then after a month, I cut out my yoghurt and granola into the afternoon, had a smaller portion of lunch but I still always had too much dinner. After lowering the amount of food I ate in a healthy way, I was losing weight and felt full after a day's worth of food. All of that progress is messed up now. I don't even know how to come back to it because now, I feel hungry for most of the day, just like how I did when I was overeating. Sorry for the long comment and thanks to anybody who gave a care reading this, have a wonderful day, love u all ❤️
The voice over sessions are so therapeutic ty
and this one was just special 💕
I swear Linda is my therapy 🥺💕 she’s such an amazing person and has helped me in so many ways
I love watching your movies, I love watching your work. Nobody ever motivated me to work. Every movie is so nice to watch. I love
Linda's videos bring me so much joy and light! Sending lot's of love to everybody! 🙏🏻💞💫
Firstly Linda helped me out of my eating disorder, no cap. There were a lot of other things but I won’t hesitate giving her so much credit bec her vids validated my feelings and my hunger. Secondly after losing about 10 kilos now I’ve come back to almost when I started to lose weight two years ago bec I thought this was way too much which surprisingly I don’t feel now, I lift weights now so that’s helpful but apart from that Linda changed my whole outlook and helped me live better, thanks Linda you’re a blessing for many. Your vids kept me going every week in 2020. Everyday was a struggle so I rewatched until I fed myself and told myself that it’s okay and it’s what was needed to be done. No excuses. Ps: I also stopped taking seven flights of stairs which I used to every single day bec of my over exercise disorder. For some of us, taking the lift over stairs and avoiding unnecessary obsessions is a win so yeyy
I have memory lost and I forgot who the person to make my life a bit better and I finally found u again :> thank you for this words, I've been insecure and concious about my body but this made me feel less concious about it. I'm happy I found u again. Thank you!
Today I went back to the gym at 5:30 this morning after a few weeks of not going… you mentioning going that early just felt like a sign that I needed. Loved this video❤️
I saw something once that said “your body is the least interesting thing about you” and that changed a lot of things for me
I gained 15 lbs in quarantine and it may not sound like a lot but my body has changed. I had a hard time loving my body and eating the foods I love. Linda thank you for your videos. I’m in love with my body and I eat all my favorite foods regardless of what people would say.
My heart is so happy every time I see a new video pop up. Linda I had the same problem as you, then one day I saw a "what I eat in a week" by Linda Sun and my heart told me to watch it. After I was done watching it I felt ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Linda you inspire me to love my body for what it is and can do and not what it looks like. I love your account SO SO SO much. If we met in person I feel like we would be besties. We both love food, we both can't function with out our peanut butter, we LOVE working out, we both think the purple boba is BOMB, and so, so much other stuff. :) Thank you for coming into my life through UA-cam. I LOVE YOU! Sincerly, Mackenzie
Linda, your the only youtuber whose playlist 'what I eat' I have just finished! All of these 24 videos I've watched and will now be on your other videos. I hope you are all well.
At 24 I have learned so much in regards to my body and perspective and being happy from Linda thank you you were oasis during 2020 and I will continue to watch you for as long as I can I hope you never stop
Entiendo muy poco lo que dices (por mi inglés básico) pero realmente no sabes lo mucho que me ayudaste en mi recuperación y también inspiraste en crear un canal en español sobre lo que como y dar mensajes de aliento, se que hay muchas niñas o jóvenes en este mundo que también están pasando por un TCA o una mala relación con la comida, solo quiero que sepan que no están sola, que pueden superar esto, juntas podemos !
Love u
Proud of you 🌄💋
These videos are so beautifully put together, your voiceovers are so beautifully written and said, please write a book or something your language is so satisfying ♥
I loved it when you said - I dedicate it to my body ❤️❤️❤️
Love you linda your words literally heal my cluttered mind ...... and just tells me to love and appreciate my body for what it is doing for me everyday and just focus on being who I actually am and how I picture my own happiness.......can't thank you enough linda love you❤❤
That was the wake up call I needed. Thank you for being such a a beautiful, strong and inspiring soul Linda 💖
Honestly every time that i am about to give up you inspire me, I hate my body I am trying to change for the best but it is very hard. I tried many times I always give up, but this time is different I can fell it I will change for the best, And the only one I need to thank is you for inspiring me to never give up.❤️
Thank you for almost single-handedly helping me build my body confidence and rebuild my relationship with exercise and food. Both are still works in progress but they are 1000x better than before COVID
i have been rewatching all your videos while hoping a new one pops up in my notifications/when i refresh your channel page :”-) thank you for uploading linda, you’re inspiring & amazing 🤍
