Eating EVERYTHING I Want for My Birthday Week | Reflecting On My Self-worth, Eating Disorder, & Life

This unironically made my cry - recently life has been quite tough on me, but I've blissfully ignored it. Linda's videos give me a sense of comfort. It's like a warm hug/shoulder you can cry on

My 30th bday is April 22 and this is the first time in years that I’m not going to starve before my bday dinner. I’ve decided that 30 should be a new change. 30 should usher in a new era of self love for my body. I’m fit and healthy and proud of myself and my body.

One thing I think people also need to remember is that it's such a blessing to be able to eat different types of foods. There are so many people with allergies to certain foods, disorders that make it hard for them to digest certain foods, etc, so being able to actually eat things like peanut butter and oats and burgers and all these tasty, amazing foods is something to feel happy and lucky about when you eat, and never guilty.

[@leilaclemente7564]

wow I've never looked at food through this perspective before but it's so true. thank you for reminding me that food should be a blessing :)

[@nineteenthirteen]

it's so true. i have an autoimmune disease that makes the list of foods i CAN eat shorter than the ones i CANT. i can't eat gluten, dairy, oats, peanuts, oats, sugar, corn, white potatoes, rice, legumes.. and so many other random things. despite this, i still feel lucky.. because at least i got my diagnosis before my immune system was too messed up for me to digest anything at all. its so important to be grateful for what we have

[@justbime172]

The way she talks about herself and how we can be the better versions of us it's so impressive . I love you. You made my day soooo much better, and Thank you for being you

Yesterday, i was insecure about myself and just not feeling good and when I was in the shower I thought: What I would need right know is a video from Linda… And 2 hours later this one came out, couldn’t belive it haha. I watched it and I just felt soo much better. These videos are always reminding me to never forget to love myself. Thanks for everything Linda

[@berrymelon6782]

"Dieting keeps your body small but it also keeps your life small" WOAH. You put words to what I struggle to describe. We lose so much when we limit ourselves unnecessarily. It is freeing to allow oneself to have full autonomy over what we eat

[@emmablacker2842]

I don't know how Linda is such an amazing woman, she inspires me everyday even in my darkest times. She has a rare gift that helps lift people up and lets them see that they are not a failure and can be happy if they tried. She helped and is still helping me through my self doubt and negativity that is killing me from the inside out when nobody is seeing it. I don't know where I would be in my life without Linda. Linda, if you see this. Thank you. I love you and you will acheive many things.

[@cakeandcats5860]

i always tell my friends how important it is to just eat whatever and how much you want, i tell them they're beautiful and that skinny doesnt mean good and theres *nothing* wrong with gaining weight and all that stuff... but then i still stress about my own body and the food i eat, i know nobody cares how i look or how much i eat, and i still binge at lunch for no reason and feel bad after (mostly bc i'm so bloated but also bc i feel out of control) now that i think about it, its actually not that bad, i do really enjoy food and exercicing, i love myself and thats the only thing that matters.. never forget that guys! okay that was a long comment i gotta go to sleep now byee

[@AnrupB]

No facepalm! I’m recovering from a chronic illness/disability and starting a new life for the second time in my 30s - now late mid 30s. It’s never too late to pursue what you love! And let’s be real - you’ve already been building a nutrition and dietetics business right here for over a year now. I’ve been WAITING for you to make the switch because it’s so obvious to me that this is what you love. Nothing we do - even a few extra university years - goes to waste. I promise you will find it all helpful down the line. Trust me, I’ve been through several professional and personal lives. You got this, Linda. Sending you love!

[@331bluejay]

I fell out with my two best friends a few months ago over something I don't even quite understand, and I've been feeling so lonely and bad about every choice I've ever made but watching your videos changes that. They help so much and they really feed the soul :) I feel much less alone every time you post a video, thank you for doing what you do

[@luna_belle5029]

I'm sorry that happened. I've been there and speak from experience, time heals all wounds. Love yourself, demand others treat you with kindness and respect. That includes healthy communication. If your former friends couldn't do that with you, I hope you see that you're worthy of more. Sending hugs your way.

[@nuhamehreen2029]

@@luna_belle5029 You're right! I myself have been there. I do feel lonely at times but I now have friends who genuinely love me for me. My former close friends...well, to be honest, it sounds like a Disney movie but we actually forgave each other and we hang out occasionally.

[@michellem7269]

Did I write this comment? Was best friends with these 2 girls all throughout my middle and high school years, but these friendships are only hurting me and making me feel bad about myself now. Literally going through the same thing as you, and having sooo much trouble letting go. Your comment actually made me feel better in that I feel so much less alone. And this comment is to let you know that you're not alone, either ❤️ Let's focus our time, energy, and love into people that do care about us!!

[@ejrobb2259]

hey. i actually recently went through the exact same thing, so im so sorry coz it hurts, and i still feel confused but i 100% agree with you. Linda's videos just make me feel like im being given a giant hug. xx

[@sarahwegner6816]

As a 31 year old trying to reconnect to herself and learn how to eat all over…Ive been watching your videos since January of 2023. I need you to know how beautifully and patiently you explain all of this. It gives me the same grace and safety that I needed little me to have with food and self love. Your stories make me laugh, cry, and smile so big. Thank you for letting me follow your story. It’s helping me recreate mine little by little. 💕

[@ejj1114]

I am so happy for you! finding peace in your life is something to celebrate! recently, i’ve started ditching some of my old useless habits like calorie counting. you really remind me that balance is key and intuitive eating is the BEST!! love you so muchhhhh

“You’re not going to want to change a single thing about your journey, once you see where it’ll take you.” Seriously just put this in my notes app to reflect back on any time I’m down or beating myself up. I’m pregnant with my first child & a year ago, 3 years ago, I could have never imagined the happiness that I’m feeling right now and can honestly say I wouldn’t change anything.

[@romanahestericova1740]

Wish u the best cause u deserve it GIRL! LOVE YOU.

[@michellem7269]

I've watched every single one of Linda's videos, and I can confidently say this is hands down the best video she's ever created!! Aside from the beautiful editing, it's so thoughtful, reflective, inspiring, and also so raw, truthful, and even heartbreaking at parts. I'm so immensely proud of Linda, she's the gift that keeps on giving 🥺❤️ Also, SO incredibly proud of you for dropping your program and pursuing your passion. It's absolutely what you deserve! Never feel bad that it took you awhile to get there. I've been through a similar experience myself, and I can safely say that every experience has helped me figure out what life I want my direction to go in from here on out. I'm so much happier today because of those experiences where I realized "this ain't it". All of us are always rooting for you!!

Ahh linda your only 21 so change is soo normal. Im 30 this year and contemplating yet another carer change so far i have a beauty, massage and teaching assistant degrees but also wanted to get into nutrition so might do a online couse because now I have a baby.

lately I've been finding myself bingeing your videos, they are honestly incredible. Your attitude, your smile, your voice, your words, I couldn't be asking for more. In a couple of weeks it's my twentieth birthday and I don't feel like celebrating at all, just like every other year. I feel guilty for not having accomplished enough in this past year and I don't feel like I deserve to celebrate anything. Your words, I am something to celebrate, they are powerful, so much more than you probably think. thank you for making these videos, it feels like having a friend who just gets you

Watching this and crying .. I have been diagnosed with hypothalamic amenorrhea (when you lose your period due to a combination of over exercicing & undereating) and I relate to every single word you said.. I'm happily indulging and chocolate and cnacks, gaining weight like crazy but that's what my body has asked for. Food is fuel, food is power ! And girls, we live in a cruel world where we idolize only one body type because celebrities made you feel/think that way. Don't you ever fall for the trap ! Diversity is beautiful.. don't you dare try to look like somebody else. We're all amazing in our own way

Somewhere out in the universe, your words always seem to resonate with my deepest darkest struggles of the month. I always feel heard, understood, and valid when watching your content. I recently chose to pursue my own creative passion of writing and 20 year old me who chose to do coding would probably die from shock at the news.

Being strong and fit at 41 brings it close. Having friends and family and awesome kids and a loving husband bring me endless joy! Find your joy Linda and embrace who you are! Be happy in your choices; have no regrets as these things made you; YOU!

I want this to heal properly after that only i will start exercising but as i have gained a lot of weight i was feeling so guilty abt myself and so sad to see my stomach but after watching your video i developed my condident again literally thank you Linda for helping me and for making me happy again.

So happy I stumbled across your channel last year, you're such an inspiration! And this is exactly the message I needed to hear right now. I recently started recovery from my ed and I'm also turning 21 this weekend and I've always hated my birthday, but am actually kind of looking forward to this one because I can finally celebrate it without having to be around the one who ruins it every year. I'm excited but also nervous and feel so weird about actually celebrating my birthday because I also hate being the center of attention, but I'm trying to relax about it because literally everyone else I know does it and I should be allowed to enjoy it for one day, but it just feels weird thinking about it and I know my ed brain is going to be screaming at me, but I need to just stop letting it control me. This is definitely an encouraging message so thank you!

After recovering from my ED, I still get happy sometimes when I’m making a meal and I think about how I used to be scared of this food. It’s just a small thing that makes me smile to myself, and I get a little emotional about it too.. I’m also so glad to be able to just enjoy life in general, I missed out on so much before. Now I feel so free and happy when I’m able to enjoy food and drinks with my friends and family. I think my friends and I are going on a mini road trip next month and I’m so excited to try out new foods and drinks and just experience life in general

[@hannahdavis3075]

Hey Linda! Wishing you a Happy Birthday! Something I want to point out is that you can be just as obsessed WITH eating as you can be NOT eating. Food freedom is good, but food freedom shouldn’t turn to food obsession. They are two different things. I’m just noticing that in a lot of your videos, you seem to see food as your life. But I want to encourage you that food simply fuels us to live a wonderful life. You are so much more of an interesting person than your relationship with food. Food doesn’t have to be the center of your life. Your life is so much more beautiful than eating and food. I know it’s difficult to keep your mind off food after so long of disordered eating and eating disorder and that recovery is not always linear, but tasty food doesn’t have to have control over your happiness either😊

I am SO proud of you for switching your program! I recently went through a similar thing. Also 21 and graduated HS in 2018. I took a gap year, so I'm already technically "behind" my peers, who already graduated or are graduating this year. I'm in a psych program (want to be a registered psychologist and specialize in ED's!!) and thought I had to rush through my program and finish ASAP. I recently decided to take a step back, slow down, take less classes and honour my mental health. I now have the option to apply for an honours psych degree (which would add 2 more years). Initially, it feels stressful to know that by the time I get my BA, I'll be turning 25, but so proud of myself for doing what's best for me AND to pursue opportunities I would've missed out on, had I rushed through things. So proud of you, and excited for what your future holds, Linda! You are not alone :) with love from Edmonton
