    When you feel the urge to compulsively exercise , here are a few ideas !
    - paint toenails / fingernails - don’t let that beautiful polish get smudged going burpies ! Wait for it to dry then see if the urge is as bad
    - arrange your desk or tidy (your brain will think it’s moving around and exercising - plus it’s just as /if not more productive)
    - bake something - or if you’re too scared too / broke to you can try making slime or something. You can’t focus on squatting if you’re mixing something!
    Just a few tips , if they don’t work that’s fine . Remember if it feels like it’s hurting / making you feel unhappy try not to do it to yourself ❤︎☻︎

    It’s refreshing to hear someone talk about this who went through the same thing as me at such a younge age i think most people don’t fully understand that even though I was 11 doesn’t mean that my addiction to exercise was ok or normal or that I just had “a lot of energy” bc like i didn’t have energy but I was just scared to stop moving

    I am 13 years old and during lockdown I was working out 2, 3, even 4 times a day. I thought I was happy. I convinced myself that I was. But honestly, I wasn’t. I stopped working out for about 3 and a half months and my mental health improved, by a lot. Then I starting working out again and it all went downhill. I was back where I started. Then I found Linda. Her videos helped me so much and completely changed my perspective on working out. I was actually happy when I was working out smiling the entire time. Then I was slowly introduced to Caroline Girvan. Now I workout to become stronger not to burn calories. And it feels… amazing.

    I’m currently about a month into my ED recovery (for a second time in my life). I didn’t realize how bad my exercise addiction got until i recently developed a stress fracture, tried taking a single rest day (where i didn’t actually rest, but just didn’t exercise nearly as much as most days) and it created sooooo much anxiety, anger and depression in myself. I’m proud of myself for trying but it seems impossible to even imagine taking a rest day. The fear of doing so is intense. And i know i need to rest (if for no other reason than having a stress fracture), but i just feel like i can’t. I genuinely love and enjoy exercising and making well balanced tasty meals. But I’ve become so addicted it’s hurting me. Proves that too much of a good thing isn’t healthy either. Your video is motivating me to attempt another rest day soon! The only way to overcome anxiety is to do the thing you’re anxious about, so i know i have to do it!

      i feel like she is using those thumbnails to sort of "lure" the most desperate people about losing weight and thier body changing but she actually talks about self love and intuitive eating to the most "desperate audience" if that makes sense or at least thats the way she helped me. I really wanted to change my body and was looking at different youtube videos to diet/change my weight and lindas thumbnails caught my attention which basically saved my life :)) hope this helps my view on her thumbnails!!.

    • @esmxerose

    it was such a huge weight off my shoulders when I stopped exercising back this summer. i no longer wanted to try to uphold a certain fit physique and i didn't want to be a crazed fitness guru, I just wanted to feel "normal" like my other friends at 21. Who, if they workout-great, and if they don't-great. There was no inner worth or identity attached. And I knew I needed to just stop altogether. And my body & mind loved it. My body didn't feel so swollen or bloated anymore, I felt like I had so much more time on my hands and could actually go 2 days without washing my hair, etc etc. The world is your oyster, don't fear the uncomfortable

    you're literally describing what i'm going through right now, i thought i was alone. every single day, i wake up at 5 and workout and then go for a run and then come back and workout and then go for a run - back and forth back and forth all day long - I no longer own a desk chair, and even when i stand and do work, i can't for more than an hour. the exercises i do are no longer even challenging, just time consuming and tedious. i mean honestly how much is my body going to change if i don't do 30 seconds of bodyweight calf raises or arm circles? i wish i could stop and i want to but as soon as i consider stopping, it's like all that 'justification' i have for the amount that i eat (which is a lot) goes away. i'm hoping i can be more like you in the future, tysm for sharing ur story

    • @x3iShopx3
      @x3iShopx3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If it’s any consolation body weight exercises similar to arm circles don’t really do anything for aesthetics and calf raises or whatever aren’t going to burn many calories. Obviously you should tackle the mental aspect that’s the root of the issue but for aesthetics even 45 mins of weight training like 3x a week would accomplish more and save you a hell of a lot of tiem

I didn't WANT to stop for a long time so not sure if you are at a place where you want to get free from all of this or not, but I just want you to know that you can get free from this. ❤

    I know these feelings all too well. I remember waking up at 5:00 am and working out half asleep and half conscious. I remember people telling me that I was so strong and motivated and healthy that I worked out everyday. I remember being told to keep working out to maintain my physique. Little did they know I was stopping my growth, killing my mental health, and starving/ killing my body. My exercise addiction was bad but the comments of others and “motivation” to keep working out was even worst. I felt like if I missed a day of working out I would let down everyone around me. I’ve now learned to not comment on anyones body or workout status. I try to never bring up the topic because if I can force someone to not have body dysmorphia or an eating disorder for just one more day, I would be happier after eating a fear food with no guilt. Linda I love your energy and you inspire me to continue my recovery no matter what! I love you and never stop inspiring.

    I’ve been really struggling with myself. Gaining weight, eating, my body image, smoking, staying consistent in the gym… I really needed this. Thank you 🙏

    It's so refreshing to hear these. Somtimes all people seek is reassurance from others,sometimes encouragement and sometimes only one push to go forward (and this could be that push). You really are special Linda. I mean i don't think even you know how many lives you are changing. Just want to say thank you. I hope you get all that your deserve!

    Just turned 16 and have been exercising since I was 13 years 9 months maybe and haven't been able to skip extra days other than designated rest days. This gives hope to be honest. Everything that you are saying through the video about exercise and study, not being able to sit still and just not having the option to skip is making me feel that it's just not me? It was SO difficult to hold back when I got covid and I still mostly didn't. That was the first time in 1.5 years I took a 1+ day rest in a week except when I was forced to by my sister.

      I went to something similar last week, got really sick and still went to the gym and morning runs, but as expected i woke up so damn sicker and had to stay home resting, i could only think about the exercises i should be doing instead of reasting. Maybe one day it will pass and we will have a better relationship with exercising.

    I haven't had the guts to watch you again after stopping from working out after a year of consistency just bc I had too much fun in life haha. I could not watch u again those times bc I'm afraid that I might feel bad for myself for stopping and for gaining weight again. But here I am, back on track and this is the video of urs that I happen to bump on in after a while.
    Thank you, Linda. ♡

    I’m older than you (34) but this resonated with me so much. I am consistent with workouts-from 5am workouts, extensive hikes, yoga…and I, too, find it therapeutic. I am currently sick so have been forced to slow down (believe me, I tried). I decided to listen to my body and rest. It’s been so unsettling but I know it’s best. Much love to you ✨

    Thank you. After the holidays I feel really bad because of how much I ate, and always think that I have do offset with exercise. Or end up restricting myself to don't eat what I like because I have had to much. I'm on this process to fight ortorexia, and this video is like a hug, because you showed me that it's ok to eat what you want and you don't have to restrict. Seriously, thank you

    This is very relatable. I used to workout EVERY SINGLE DAY for a whole year and starting mid 2021 i start to feel extra tired or just not in the mood of being sweaty so i take breaks, or during periods. And honestly, it feels so much better, rewarding, and sustainable to workout because you love the feeling rather than doing it out of guilt. You go Linda, keep spreading the positivity! And thank you for this comfort place you've given to us❤️

    I really relate everything you're saying. When there was days that I couldn't workout, I felt like guilty cause I did exercise everyday. It was exhausting and it took part of my "life" as well. Other things like... I couldn't stay still because my mind was always saying... You're gonna gain weight and stuff. And if I miss a day of working out... The next day I need to do something. The same with food... It was a nightmare.
