"I'll never have this version of myself again, so let me slow down and be with her." Hits home, in so many ways for so many people. So glad you said it. ❤️
Most important thing is not to take things in the extreme way.. I've been leading a very active lifestyle and eating way too little calories until I lost my period.. don't do the same mistake that I did :(
It’s very tricky to find a right balance with being healthy, looking how you want to look, and also trying to be positive, while wanting to or losing weight. when you look on TH-cam and you have someone saying “don’t lose weight, your perfect” and then the next thing that pops up is a workout video that you want to try. Ultimately I think there must be a place in the middle. If you want to look a certain way, go for it! If you want to be healthy, go for it! It’s all an individuals choice, and no matter what you do, there will always be people against you
I just had a meltdown. After listening to my comfort playlist and scrolling on Pinterest for a while, (an hour) I decided to come on TH-cam and watch my comfort TH-camr. I was planning on finding all older video because I didn't think you'd posted, but here it is. This is fate. I love this channel so much. My go to when I can't talk to anyone, because you answer in your voiceovers as if I've told you everything.
Girl, nobody thinks you're not as "good" as other influences. You're better than most because you're not creating a persona or pretending to be something you're not. You're so inspiring, love you so much!!
when she said, 'ill never have this version of myself so let me slow down and be with her', god that hit me. linda, the way you love and trust lilly with all of your heart and soul is exactly the same way we love you.
"ill never have this version of myself again, so let me slow down and be with her" that is when I started bawling. That really hit home for me. i love you so much linda
LOVE YOU LINDA! As someone documenting their ED recovery journey, I have been following your channel for a while and you have been SUCH AN INSPIRATION! Thank you so much for being true to who you are and staying authentic. YOU ARE SO WORTHY! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
You’re gorgeous inside out and I’m just so impressed by how you can lift my mood so easily. I feel like the way you view life and talk about it is so beautiful and I’m so grateful for being able to follow you and your journey
I literally got goosebumps and started crying a little while watching the video. It was so good and your words really touched me. I love all of your videos so much and you are to me, what Lilly is to you.
Just what I needed to watch to end this day with a little more positive perspective. Today has been really a challenge to come through, so many thoughts have just clouded my mind, stress at work, stressing bc I have no time for myself currently and I'm running low on sleep while I feel super ill. And to make it all worse one of the workers at the gym that I go to tried to sell me a "nutrition guide", I respectfully tell her I'm not interested but she continues on telling me how it supposedly makes me "healthier" which in her understanding of this world would equal a smaller version of my body. I am currently trying to just live day by day and to focus more on my mental health as this is a thing I've to acknowledge more since the past year as I've been struggling with getting panic attacks caused by stress and anxiety. So this was an absolute trigger for me at my "safe place" as I know don't even can be myself at the gym anymore without feeling "judged" by not being enough. Enough with this rant since all I wanted to tell you is how you're an inspiration for me. I am doing a lot better mentally, just accepting my body for what it is and you are definitely one of the people that make it a little easier on days like these where all I wanna do is hate it.
I can't wait to one day see a 'My body is enough' video by Linda. I really want you to get through this journey to loving your own body cuz you have helped me see myself from a whole new perspective and nothing would make us happier than to see you happy ❤
Having lost my period due to weight loss I can relate with you on so many levels but “health is the golden ticket “ was exactly what I needed to hear today! I am trying to recover from hypothelamic amenorrhea and dealing with weight gain is really hard sometimes. But our physical appearance changes throughout our lives and health should always come first. Having regular periods is more important than having a thigh gap and I need to remember that everyday. Every time I feel insecure or even ashamed of my body I try to remember that health always comes first .
WRITE A BOOK QUEEN. You are one of the most inspirational people I know even though I've never met you. Keep going you are doing such amazing things for people. Also you are so beautiful inside and out.
Hearing that you use an image of one of us to help you console yourself and remind you to value & admire your body for what it does is so amazing. Even down to the idea that is one of us crying send like you're really caring for your mind AND body by accepting how you feel, but gently reminding yourself that no everything your mind tells you is true. I hope one day we can all find that level of gentle strength ❤️
I love when sucessful and confident people open up about their body image struggles. I think I'm going to post a video soon about my eating struggles and maybe I can help one person like Linda helps all us :)
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Psalms 139:13-16 NLT
such a beautiful verse. i think it’s important to listen to Linda’s motivating words about body image but also remember we were given this body (the ability to move and eat nourishing and tasty foods) by our creator. He has given us every single moment, therefore everyone is beautiful. Even the moments we doubt ourselves or just don’t understand life and all it’s emotions, even those moments are beautiful and a gift :)
Linda I’ve watched this video so many times and honestly my heart aches for a second when you said you didn’t have the body of a gym shark athlete. But hun you were placed there for a reason as you have influence and grace. Everyone in that room was enjoying themselves doing something they loved and that’s the greatest pleasure is living your life in content. I’m so glad you loved London and wishing you luck in your school work
For the last 3 months, I tried to get stronger, building up some muscles with strength weight training. Because of covid, I trained at home and I don't have a full-size mirror there. Therefore I never saw myself while I was training. Yesterday I went to an in-person class for the first time since July. I saw myself in the mirror there and I was shocked. I gained muscles, I got bigger. Seeing myself like this made me really confused and scared. All I was thinking about is how scared I was of my body and that I wanted to be slim like I was 2 years ago. But then I remembered your words, Linda. That my body and I will find a balanced way to be at peace with each other. You helped me to realize that I gained so much more than just weight. I gained strength, confidence, power and joy and I am just really thankful for that💕Keep going, love u xx
I feel so proud of linda! I'm literally crying,She's grown so damn much and finally maybe has started to see her as the beautiful, strong and inspiring woman we see her as.
Everytime im on the edge of falling down the big hole of negative self talk and bad relationship with food even more i watch your videos and it makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER and makes me cry ( both happy and sad type lol) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE💞
Awww Linda I really regret not saying hello, I was in the first group at Lilly’s event. Your words really hit home for me, as after the event. I was overly tired and I burst into tears as I was ashamed of what I saw in me on video etc. The lean Familia sorted me out, but you are not alone in having these thoughts. Thank you so much for doing this video blog! ❤️❤️
LINDA! I cannot even begin to tell you how inspiring you are. You, your words, your body, your expiriences are beautiful and I hope that I can find the same joy, freedom, adventure and self love that you have. Thank you for showing up as you and everything that comes with that. You are the biggest light
I can never emphasize this enough....no matter how many times I say it... Linda is the best...her videos literally hit all the right spots...they are literally more comforting than a warm hug.......really really thank you for being there for all of us .....REALLY REALLY THANK YOU...also I love you 🥺🥺❤️❤️✨✨
I literally had a whole meltdown at the end! Linda you have changed my life. You came into mine at one of the worst times of my life, and now I am a new person. ILYSM!
you make me cry tears of joy. i was in my lowest, and your videos and your words are what saved me. they continue to til this day. I'm learning to be comfortable in my own skin, workout for enjoyment and not punishment, andto eat food because I want to and need to and it fuels me. thank you for being so open and so incredible, kinda. truly, thank you
Hey Linda, I know that a lot of people are saying how much inspiring you are but I also wanted to thank you even if you're likely to not see my text (by the way sorry for my english, I know it isn't perfect). It's okay to struggle, I myself have an ED. My image and idea of myself have always been a huge issue for me (due to school harassment, etc...) and this year by joining a school of music and dance and leaving my family, it has been really hard. I feel like what I'm saying is useless but really, I feel like life is like the weather. Someday it shines, someday it rains, and we as little human, we should learn that's it's okay to cry and to be down if we know that tomorrow will be clearer. So I don't know what you're really going through but I think and wish for you the best. Don't forget that you might be our inspiration but we also got you girl. I can't really help but I'll think of you, WE think of you and wish you a happy life. You deserve to be happy. So let's work for our happiness together okay?! ❤️
@@alyssashoemaker3414 ahah thank you so much. Since english isn't my mother tongue, it's kinda hard for me to put my thoughts in a text so I'm really happy about your comment. Thank you so much❤️ Have a nice day
I think you expressed yourself very well and I agree with what you've said. I like the comparison with the weather. No matter what, the Sun always comes back (pun intended :D). I hope your day is going well! Same goes for anybody else reading this comment! Regardless of how you perceive yourself at the moment, you should know that you're great. 💕
Linda, what a full circle moment!!! You are so inspiring with everything you do, this is by far one of my favourite pieces of content on the internet. I am with you on your journey towards accepting yourself for who you really are. I'm done being ashamed of my body, and all for honoring how I feel. You are living in spirit, and you sharing this experience with us empowers us to do the same. I've been watching you since the beginning and it's almost scary how parallel our universes are. Always on the same page. Your strength, insight, power, who you are is just so inspiring. From Canada, sending you all the love in the world. I hope to meet you one day. I think we would be hella good friends. xo
it's funny how i cry when they said goodbye, i feel that so much, thank u for share this beautiful moments with us. i feel a lot with those videos!!!! this is a little light in my mind, i'm so grateful linda, i love u, you deserve this AND MORE!!!💘
Wow.. this was a beautiful video. I almost starting crying numerous times. Being someone who is at the end of my 20’s, I find your message about growing up to be so touching. “You needed to break, and get broken a few times to be who you are now” hauntingly resonates with me. Thank you for sharing your life with us Linda!
omg you are SO worthy of the life you are living and the fun you are having - you have NO idea how many people you help and how just simply joyous you are to watch !! you're a delight
literally cried over the past 3 minutes of the video, but not in a sad way.. your words have just touched me, kinda made me feel better about myself and.. I don't know. It just soothed my heart in a way. Thanks.
this video was just what i needed today. i’ve been having a bad body image week or so and i’m recovering from an Ed. you have no idea how much your videos mean to me and how much they have helped me through all my hard times. your words are exactly how i’m feeling all the time.
hi linda, thank u for motivating me all the time i didn't know howe much im obsessed with your videos until i saw the effect now whenever i feel like i dont want to workout i watch ur videos they comfort me a lot
When I first started watching your videos my whole world was surrounded with loosing weight and looking a certain way. Honestly seeing your journey has helped me so much. You have really taught me how to live my life the way its meant to be rather than obsessing over things like how my body looks or am I good enough. You have given me so much courage and inspiration and truly thanks to you I am no longer depressed over those things and am learning to appreciate myself and this wonderful world...LOVE YOU LINDA!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! PS - Am forever grateful to you ....
Thank you Linda for being someone who is so real, raw and gives courage to everyone, even when it’s a vulnerable topic. You have changed my life. Keep being such a beautiful soul. The world needs tons more people like you💛💛
Linda never fails to leave me sobbing at the gym 😭 if you ever read this, you are truly an inspiration and safe place on the internet. Your vulnerability pushes me to learn so much about life and myself. You are changing millions and I only hope for you, the best ❤️🔥
Your words touched my heart and I honestly felt like I needed to hear that. Struggling with body image pulled me out of my life and I was stuck in a circle where I felt like I supposed to be like that and act this way. I felt like I had to live my life in a certain way to match the beauty standards because that's the only way I should live my life which is so wrong. I'm so so thankful to be one of you subscribers. Your videos are so therapeutic to me. Definitely cried a bit but I'm feeling a lot better about myself.
You deserve like 50 million followers. I love how raw and real you are. By being you, and showing us what it means to have bad/good days, you continue to inspire and uplift a whole generation of badass women
If you ever see this I hope you know how amazing it is to see someone out there living life fully and truely on their own. So many people live trapped lives and never feel authentically themselves and you are so clearly crushing it out there and we couldn't be happier or more proud of you. Definition of a role model ❤
Linda, this made me cry. "Suddenly life is pretty unrecognizable, but is so much more beautiful. Just in a different way". Thank you for starting your TH-cam channel because you really have been a joy to grow up with. I genuinely hope you're so happy
That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing. When you said you wanted to go back and relive it, it made me happy that you have this documented video where you can come back and view it again.
you are such an inspiration and you do represent a group of athletes within gymshark, students trying to find themselves and break away from the molds they've been confined in for far too long! always remember you have such a positive impact on people and you're changing the world one video at a time💗
Linda, you always let me out of words. I literally can not express how much you've influenced my food decisions (in the greatest way) we love to see your growth and that you are taking us along! I am grateful to be part of this community.
You are amazing. Your vlogs are so therapeutic. I just can't put into words how much you've helped me with my journey to self love and self acceptance.
i am so insanely proud of you Linda, of who you have become and that you have found how to build a home within yourself, you are amazing and truly inspiring, keep going, you are amazing, i look up to you so much, you are like my lily, thank you for always inspiring me and making me feel so much hope. you are the best, thank you, love youu
Linda you make me be a better version of myself with every video you post, I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and this has helped me so much when I was at my lowest so thank you so much, love you abd you're amazing
This was so relatable. I love working out and feeling strong but sometimes I get so frustrated that I’m not seeing certain changes and start wondering if I should start tracking my calories - even though I know that could be such a slippery slope for me. I also just try to focus on feeling good and letting myself go at my own pace but the truth is we don’t always love our bodies and that’s ok.
Finished watching and this was truly one of her most inspiring videos, I love how she makes life so much brighter and more enjoyable! I couldn’t be happier for her that she was able to go on this trip
I swear I wish you would upload more than one video a week😭I’m so addicted to your TH-cam channel, and I never get tired of watching your videos more than once😩❤️🥺
So I’ve seen some people discussing that your content or style must get tiring and at first I thought oh, yeah maybe that’s true. But now I’m sitting here thinking about the reality.. this is truly my mentality and it is life long. I don’t think “full recovery” or whatever people are saying is possible for a lot of people. I love my body, it has taken me soooo long to get here, but I still have so many days that I’m really insecure and it is hard every single day. I personally watch your content for this exact reason! Because you always say self critical things and you always follow it up with the realization that it doesn’t matter and you should enjoy your life. It’s so helpful to see someone else who kind of always struggles with these things. It gets me down when I watch videos of content creators who are fully recovered or who are perfectly secure and I wonder why I can’t ever get there. So thank you for being honest and reminding us CONSISTENTLY that we are allowed to have negative thoughts and that we are also allowed to love ourselves and eat what we want at the same time. ❤️❤️❤️
your videos have helped me sm, after struggling with ed's in the past it's so hard having the right mentality and motivation. I'm glad there are TH-camrs like you that share their journey and moments of the ups and downs of body image.
Hey Linda, Gianny from Dominican Republic and now living in Spain. I just watched this video after I was regretting of eating donuts, and I just started crying. I just had 2 months here in Spain, and everything that you said was like meant for me. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for your words! Love you Linda!
your videos hurts my heart ,so much. Because it true.. its so raw and open and honest. i just feel like im wasting my time bc i dont know how to fill my life so full and adventuros and nothing makes me happy, i dont know what my thing in life is. i cant find it,and i dont know for how long its gonna be that way.maybe ill never find it... i just miss being happy and all i can think about is when i was happy as a kid and everything was easy i didnt have to try so hard.i didnt need answers bc there was no quesions..
this video made me cry. it’s so beautiful and i swear you are such a beautiful person. your heart and your hard work has brought you to where you are, so so happy for you Linda
Every time I watched your vlog it always touches my soul that it hit me in every bit of it. I love your journey and I love you Linda for teaching us to be the best version of ourselves and accept the flaws that we have. ❤️
"It's not healthy unless it's balanced" You are moving your body, you are strong and you eat all amazing food (some healthy some not). You take care of your body yet you still enjoy life Now that's inspiring❤
I'm just scrolling through old videos I missed because of my burnout and I'm so happy and proud of you for how far you've come. Yes, we are humans, we will never be perfect because we aren't supposed to be. But that's also what can give us some good challenge, right? I never thought I would enjoy working out because of how PE lessons ruined the joy for me. But meeting you and later Lilly was a life changer. I never knew what I can do. And even thought some workouts were reaallyyy challenging at first, they were easy after few tries later. It's amazing what our bodies can do :) Thank you for living your life and giving us little insight, you are really amazing. With your ups and downs :) I appreciate you show us little of everything and are real with us. You are like a friend I could come to and cry (with) while I struggle a little 😄
I realized why I’m still alive •future •healthy life •more to expierience •foods to try •places to visit Im grateful for my body I’m going to work on it I’ve been gaining weight lately because of my period but I’m hopping back again tomorrow no excuses💕
OH MY GOD! EVERY SINGLE VIDEO! Thank you Linda! For being yourself, for sharing everyones inner most thoughts, for making us all feel less alone and more motivated in ourself. Thank you! X
So proud and happy for you Linda. Seeing you thriving and living your best life not only brings me happiness but also makes me feel more grateful and every time I watch one of your videos I learn a lesson ❤️
I will always watch each of Linda’s videos at least 5 times back to back and then a few times until she posts again. I always feel so comforted by her words but more so by her energy. I have struggled so much with my body image and each video is like a reminder to check in with myself and ask myself am I really unhappy with how I look? Or am I just comparing myself to those who are just as beautiful? Because no body is going to look identical to someone else’s because they’re not the same and that’s OK. I decided to say goodbye to old friends, habits, routines or lack there of, and just my old life. I don’t want to feel guilty after eating something or feel like I need to limit my snacking habits. I don’t want to feel like I need to work out or that I need to look a certain way in order to be happy. I can honestly say Linda has taught me that you are not meant to stay the same you’re not meant to look, speak, eat, act, or see things the same and that’s what growing is. Growing is changing and shaping ourselves and it’s going to be uncomfortable because you’ve never experienced it but that should be all the more reason to keep going. I will never be able to explain the amount of gratitude I have towards Linda and her videos because I don’t feel like I’m watching an influencer or a TH-camr I feel like I’m chatting with a friend I feel like I’m experiencing this growth and self discovery with her. I don’t feel jealous or bad about myself for her wins & accomplishments I feel proud. She inspires me to keep going because I’m working towards my goals and my dreams and they aren’t going to look the same as hers or others and that’s okay they are still valid and important and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you Linda for teaching me that loving yourself is a journey and that I’m not alone 🌷
Linda this video was SO beautiful to watch. Thank you for all the content you upload, they touch so deep and really make you think and feel. I feel so much more connected with myself whenever I watch and listen to you. So thank you 💖
Linnndddaaaa so much love! Thank you again and again and again to infinity. How you will never know how much you truly mean to so many of us ❤️❤️❤️Sending blessings, excitement, fun and heartfelt fulfilment to each of your days!
I’ve been waiting for your Lilly Sabri vlogggg thank you thank you thank you for sharing your journey with us! It made me to love myself even more it feels like I worth it!!!🥺💗
you inspire so many people and i love you so much linda, a year ago i would not be able to eat the foods i am eating now and appreciate my body as much as i am now and you have helped me so much linda and also you’ve hooked me on built bars!!! anyways, love you linda♥️♥️♥️
I’ve been watching you since you started and you have come so so so far, and just seeing how you’ve blossomed into such an amazing woman is inspiring. The ending to this blog was just pure beauty. I almost forgot I was watching your video because it seriously felt like a movie I didn’t want to end, goodluck on your new adventures!
"I'll never have this version of myself again, so let me slow down and be with her." Hits home, in so many ways for so many people. So glad you said it. ❤️
Most important thing is not to take things in the extreme way.. I've been leading a very active lifestyle and eating way too little calories until I lost my period.. don't do the same mistake that I did :(
It’s very tricky to find a right balance with being healthy, looking how you want to look, and also trying to be positive, while wanting to or losing weight. when you look on TH-cam and you have someone saying “don’t lose weight, your perfect” and then the next thing that pops up is a workout video that you want to try.
Ultimately I think there must be a place in the middle. If you want to look a certain way, go for it! If you want to be healthy, go for it! It’s all an individuals choice, and no matter what you do, there will always be people against you
Love this!
good point!
love this comment :3 You're absolutely right!
I feel like that’s what body neutrality aims for

Everytime im on the edge of falling down the big hole of negative self talk and bad relationship with food even more i watch your videos and it makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER and makes me cry ( both happy and sad type lol)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE💞
Never expect sth bad to happen to you when things feel too good to be true. You deserve the good things!
Awww Linda I really regret not saying hello, I was in the first group at Lilly’s event. Your words really hit home for me, as after the event. I was overly tired and I burst into tears as I was ashamed of what I saw in me on video etc. The lean Familia sorted me out, but you are not alone in having these thoughts. Thank you so much for doing this video blog! ❤️❤️
it is not luck, it is hard work and mental toughness that brought you where you are now.
Love you Linda :)
LINDA! I cannot even begin to tell you how inspiring you are. You, your words, your body, your expiriences are beautiful and I hope that I can find the same joy, freedom, adventure and self love that you have. Thank you for showing up as you and everything that comes with that. You are the biggest light
The only thing that could make this terrible day a little better... Love you Linda
Pray your spirit is lifted and your days are filled with joy ❤️
I can never emphasize this enough....no matter how many times I say it... Linda is the best...her videos literally hit all the right spots...they are literally more comforting than a warm hug.......really really thank you for being there for all of us .....REALLY REALLY THANK YOU...also I love you 🥺🥺❤️❤️✨✨
I literally had a whole meltdown at the end! Linda you have changed my life. You came into mine at one of the worst times of my life, and now I am a new person. ILYSM!
you make me cry tears of joy. i was in my lowest, and your videos and your words are what saved me. they continue to til this day. I'm learning to be comfortable in my own skin, workout for enjoyment and not punishment, andto eat food because I want to and need to and it fuels me. thank you for being so open and so incredible, kinda. truly, thank you
Hey Linda, I know that a lot of people are saying how much inspiring you are but I also wanted to thank you even if you're likely to not see my text (by the way sorry for my english, I know it isn't perfect). It's okay to struggle, I myself have an ED. My image and idea of myself have always been a huge issue for me (due to school harassment, etc...) and this year by joining a school of music and dance and leaving my family, it has been really hard. I feel like what I'm saying is useless but really, I feel like life is like the weather. Someday it shines, someday it rains, and we as little human, we should learn that's it's okay to cry and to be down if we know that tomorrow will be clearer. So I don't know what you're really going through but I think and wish for you the best. Don't forget that you might be our inspiration but we also got you girl. I can't really help but I'll think of you, WE think of you and wish you a happy life. You deserve to be happy. So let's work for our happiness together okay?! ❤️
Okay, but your english is actually perfect texting-wise, just thought I'd say that 😅
@@alyssashoemaker3414 ahah thank you so much. Since english isn't my mother tongue, it's kinda hard for me to put my thoughts in a text so I'm really happy about your comment. Thank you so much❤️ Have a nice day
I think you expressed yourself very well and I agree with what you've said. I like the comparison with the weather. No matter what, the Sun always comes back (pun intended :D). I hope your day is going well! Same goes for anybody else reading this comment! Regardless of how you perceive yourself at the moment, you should know that you're great. 💕
Linda, what a full circle moment!!! You are so inspiring with everything you do, this is by far one of my favourite pieces of content on the internet. I am with you on your journey towards accepting yourself for who you really are. I'm done being ashamed of my body, and all for honoring how I feel.
You are living in spirit, and you sharing this experience with us empowers us to do the same.
I've been watching you since the beginning and it's almost scary how parallel our universes are. Always on the same page. Your strength, insight, power, who you are is just so inspiring.
From Canada, sending you all the love in the world. I hope to meet you one day. I think we would be hella good friends.
xo
it’s only goodbye for now, i just know you’re next adventure will be even better ❤️
it's funny how i cry when they said goodbye, i feel that so much, thank u for share this beautiful moments with us. i feel a lot with those videos!!!! this is a little light in my mind, i'm so grateful linda, i love u, you deserve this AND MORE!!!💘
having a terrible bad body image day today, thank you for posting this
Wow.. this was a beautiful video. I almost starting crying numerous times. Being someone who is at the end of my 20’s, I find your message about growing up to be so touching. “You needed to break, and get broken a few times to be who you are now” hauntingly resonates with me.
Thank you for sharing your life with us Linda!
omg you are SO worthy of the life you are living and the fun you are having - you have NO idea how many people you help and how just simply joyous you are to watch !! you're a delight
I can’t stop crying omg I’m literally so proud of you and see you so happy melts my heart! I can’t wait to see your friendship with Lilly growing!!!
literally cried over the past 3 minutes of the video, but not in a sad way.. your words have just touched me, kinda made me feel better about myself and.. I don't know. It just soothed my heart in a way. Thanks.
this video was just what i needed today. i’ve been having a bad body image week or so and i’m recovering from an Ed. you have no idea how much your videos mean to me and how much they have helped me through all my hard times. your words are exactly how i’m feeling all the time.
Literally makes me smile everytime. So happy seeing you live your best life ❤️
hi linda, thank u for motivating me all the time i didn't know howe much im obsessed with your videos until i saw the effect now whenever i feel like i dont want to workout i watch ur videos they comfort me a lot
Honestly at this point Linda feels like a long distance sister, thank you for helping so many of us ❤
When I first started watching your videos my whole world was surrounded with loosing weight and looking a certain way. Honestly seeing your journey has helped me so much. You have really taught me how to live my life the way its meant to be rather than obsessing over things like how my body looks or am I good enough. You have given me so much courage and inspiration and truly thanks to you I am no longer depressed over those things and am learning to appreciate myself and this wonderful world...LOVE YOU LINDA!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
PS - Am forever grateful to you ....
My built bars literally just arrived today... the stars have aligned. Love you Linda, thanks for everything you do!!
Thank you Linda for being someone who is so real, raw and gives courage to everyone, even when it’s a vulnerable topic. You have changed my life. Keep being such a beautiful soul. The world needs tons more people like you💛💛
Linda never fails to leave me sobbing at the gym 😭 if you ever read this, you are truly an inspiration and safe place on the internet. Your vulnerability pushes me to learn so much about life and myself. You are changing millions and I only hope for you, the best ❤️🔥
Your words touched my heart and I honestly felt like I needed to hear that. Struggling with body image pulled me out of my life and I was stuck in a circle where I felt like I supposed to be like that and act this way. I felt like I had to live my life in a certain way to match the beauty standards because that's the only way I should live my life which is so wrong. I'm so so thankful to be one of you subscribers. Your videos are so therapeutic to me. Definitely cried a bit but I'm feeling a lot better about myself.
You deserve like 50 million followers. I love how raw and real you are. By being you, and showing us what it means to have bad/good days, you continue to inspire and uplift a whole generation of badass women
Linda, you are so amazing!!!! I am struggling with an ed right now. But thank you for you being you!!!! Thank you so much 🤍
Linda really each of your videos shows me something new. Thank you very much. A hug and a lot of affection from Panamá 💗
If you ever see this I hope you know how amazing it is to see someone out there living life fully and truely on their own. So many people live trapped lives and never feel authentically themselves and you are so clearly crushing it out there and we couldn't be happier or more proud of you. Definition of a role model ❤
Linda, this made me cry. "Suddenly life is pretty unrecognizable, but is so much more beautiful. Just in a different way". Thank you for starting your TH-cam channel because you really have been a joy to grow up with. I genuinely hope you're so happy
That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing. When you said you wanted to go back and relive it, it made me happy that you have this documented video where you can come back and view it again.
I am so happy that I found someone understanding my deep fears that no one understands them ,I really love you Linda😍
you are such an inspiration and you do represent a group of athletes within gymshark, students trying to find themselves and break away from the molds they've been confined in for far too long! always remember you have such a positive impact on people and you're changing the world one video at a time💗
Linda, you always let me out of words. I literally can not express how much you've influenced my food decisions (in the greatest way) we love to see your growth and that you are taking us along! I am grateful to be part of this community.
You are amazing. Your vlogs are so therapeutic. I just can't put into words how much you've helped me with my journey to self love and self acceptance.
Every time you post it is medicine.
i am so insanely proud of you Linda, of who you have become and that you have found how to build a home within yourself, you are amazing and truly inspiring, keep going, you are amazing, i look up to you so much, you are like my lily, thank you for always inspiring me and making me feel so much hope. you are the best, thank you, love youu
Linda you make me be a better version of myself with every video you post, I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and this has helped me so much when I was at my lowest so thank you so much, love you abd you're amazing
This was so relatable. I love working out and feeling strong but sometimes I get so frustrated that I’m not seeing certain changes and start wondering if I should start tracking my calories - even though I know that could be such a slippery slope for me. I also just try to focus on feeling good and letting myself go at my own pace but the truth is we don’t always love our bodies and that’s ok.
Finished watching and this was truly one of her most inspiring videos, I love how she makes life so much brighter and more enjoyable! I couldn’t be happier for her that she was able to go on this trip
Linda actually inspires me to love life and live healthier
linda you are such in a happy mental place. it's beautiful to see you in this video, your energy is literally glowing.
I swear I wish you would upload more than one video a week😭I’m so addicted to your TH-cam channel, and I never get tired of watching your videos more than once😩❤️🥺
So I’ve seen some people discussing that your content or style must get tiring and at first I thought oh, yeah maybe that’s true. But now I’m sitting here thinking about the reality.. this is truly my mentality and it is life long. I don’t think “full recovery” or whatever people are saying is possible for a lot of people. I love my body, it has taken me soooo long to get here, but I still have so many days that I’m really insecure and it is hard every single day. I personally watch your content for this exact reason! Because you always say self critical things and you always follow it up with the realization that it doesn’t matter and you should enjoy your life. It’s so helpful to see someone else who kind of always struggles with these things. It gets me down when I watch videos of content creators who are fully recovered or who are perfectly secure and I wonder why I can’t ever get there. So thank you for being honest and reminding us CONSISTENTLY that we are allowed to have negative thoughts and that we are also allowed to love ourselves and eat what we want at the same time. ❤️❤️❤️
It seems like you are saying things that runs all the time in my mind, you are a blessing Lindaaaa😭😭♥️♥️
I can't even explain how much your videos have helped me
Your body is meant to change and you can still be healthy, loving yourself and how your body is important ❤
the fact that linda’s videos always bring me to tears in the most beautiful way
your videos have helped me sm, after struggling with ed's in the past it's so hard having the right mentality and motivation. I'm glad there are TH-camrs like you that share their journey and moments of the ups and downs of body image.
I’m so proud of you! London looks so beautiful!
Hey Linda, Gianny from Dominican Republic and now living in Spain. I just watched this video after I was regretting of eating donuts, and I just started crying. I just had 2 months here in Spain, and everything that you said was like meant for me. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for your words! Love you Linda!
your videos hurts my heart ,so much. Because it true.. its so raw and open and honest. i just feel like im wasting my time bc i dont know how to fill my life so full and adventuros and nothing makes me happy, i dont know what my thing in life is. i cant find it,and i dont know for how long its gonna be that way.maybe ill never find it... i just miss being happy and all i can think about is when i was happy as a kid and everything was easy i didnt have to try so hard.i didnt need answers bc there was no quesions..
Linda made me addicted to this song “Sand people” that she plays at least once every single video !!! I love it!
I love how real you are, not afraid to actually be a human, ur a blessing tysm
Ah Linda 🥺 adore your videos! Your honesty about fitness and self love together, united as one, gives me all the feels. Thank you ❤
this video made me cry. it’s so beautiful and i swear you are such a beautiful person. your heart and your hard work has brought you to where you are, so so happy for you Linda
I love watching your videos when I'm anxious. Your videos help me calm down. Thank you Linda you are the best ❤️🩹
Every time I watched your vlog it always touches my soul that it hit me in every bit of it. I love your journey and I love you Linda for teaching us to be the best version of ourselves and accept the flaws that we have. ❤️
Everytime I doubt myself I watch your videos and they make me feel better. Thank you!✨🧡
Thank you Linda! Your videos and honest emotional journey really helped this 28 year old accept and love my life and body and working out.
U REALLY DESERVE THIS LINDAAA!, don’t say you don’t, u make my days and I love so soo much💗
"It's not healthy unless it's balanced"
You are moving your body, you are strong and you eat all amazing food (some healthy some not). You take care of your body yet you still enjoy life
Now that's inspiring❤
I'm just scrolling through old videos I missed because of my burnout and I'm so happy and proud of you for how far you've come. Yes, we are humans, we will never be perfect because we aren't supposed to be. But that's also what can give us some good challenge, right? I never thought I would enjoy working out because of how PE lessons ruined the joy for me. But meeting you and later Lilly was a life changer. I never knew what I can do. And even thought some workouts were reaallyyy challenging at first, they were easy after few tries later. It's amazing what our bodies can do :)
Thank you for living your life and giving us little insight, you are really amazing. With your ups and downs :) I appreciate you show us little of everything and are real with us. You are like a friend I could come to and cry (with) while I struggle a little 😄
I realized why I’m still alive
•future
•healthy life
•more to expierience
•foods to try
•places to visit
Im grateful for my body I’m going to work on it I’ve been gaining weight lately because of my period but I’m hopping back again tomorrow no excuses💕
OH MY GOD! EVERY SINGLE VIDEO! Thank you Linda! For being yourself, for sharing everyones inner most thoughts, for making us all feel less alone and more motivated in ourself. Thank you! X
So proud and happy for you Linda. Seeing you thriving and living your best life not only brings me happiness but also makes me feel more grateful and every time I watch one of your videos I learn a lesson ❤️
I will always watch each of Linda’s videos at least 5 times back to back and then a few times until she posts again. I always feel so comforted by her words but more so by her energy. I have struggled so much with my body image and each video is like a reminder to check in with myself and ask myself am I really unhappy with how I look? Or am I just comparing myself to those who are just as beautiful? Because no body is going to look identical to someone else’s because they’re not the same and that’s OK. I decided to say goodbye to old friends, habits, routines or lack there of, and just my old life. I don’t want to feel guilty after eating something or feel like I need to limit my snacking habits. I don’t want to feel like I need to work out or that I need to look a certain way in order to be happy. I can honestly say Linda has taught me that you are not meant to stay the same you’re not meant to look, speak, eat, act, or see things the same and that’s what growing is. Growing is changing and shaping ourselves and it’s going to be uncomfortable because you’ve never experienced it but that should be all the more reason to keep going. I will never be able to explain the amount of gratitude I have towards Linda and her videos because I don’t feel like I’m watching an influencer or a TH-camr I feel like I’m chatting with a friend I feel like I’m experiencing this growth and self discovery with her. I don’t feel jealous or bad about myself for her wins & accomplishments I feel proud. She inspires me to keep going because I’m working towards my goals and my dreams and they aren’t going to look the same as hers or others and that’s okay they are still valid and important and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you Linda for teaching me that loving yourself is a journey and that I’m not alone 🌷
Linda this video was SO beautiful to watch. Thank you for all the content you upload, they touch so deep and really make you think and feel. I feel so much more connected with myself whenever I watch and listen to you. So thank you 💖
You have no idea how much your videos help me. They mean so much to me and make my day every time.
Linnndddaaaa so much love! Thank you again and again and again to infinity. How you will never know how much you truly mean to so many of us ❤️❤️❤️Sending blessings, excitement, fun and heartfelt fulfilment to each of your days!
