I had the opposite experience. I was the 'skinny kid' that got told she was anorexic and only got compliments about how skinny she was and how jealous everyone was of me. Well, the moment I hit puberty and got curves I freaked out. I tried so hard to stay skinny... it's 12 years later now and yet I still cannot fully accept my curves and sometimes want that childhood body back. Which is kinda weird but oh well

[@brigc7755]

oh my god I relate to this so hard. I was always compared with my sister in a weird light, she was the "chubbier kid" with "bigger bones" and I was the skinny kid who got compliments for looking good in everything. Fast forward to age 13 and I hated how my thighs touched each other (still do) and how my arms looked in certain tops (plus we'd go to the beach and I hated pics of myself). Plus I didn't even gain a whole lot of weight just like... a normal amount for a teenager. It hasn't been 12 years for me though so I'm still working on it but it's so odd how we had the same experience😅

[@oxanadc]

Just a reminder that growth is part of being human both physically and mentally, so think of it that you have become slowly more the version your body is naturally tending towards and that is the most beautiful thing you can be

This video unlocked so many of my childhood memories of food. In my childhood I was mostly a fat kid and at that time I didn’t care about how I looked or weighted I was happy I was just me. Only when I was exposed to the media about how I should look did I care. I’m now over critical of myself and have a low self-esteem, but watching your videos has made me realised how important it is to love myself for who I am and to keep looking forward in life. Thank you so much

[@EDrecoveryhowmuchmore630]

This was beautiful and so healing for me. I loved food too when I was a little kid, the variety, cooking, smells and I pretty much loved it all! Somewhere along the way I got lost in restriction for DECADES! I am now in my 40s and learning intuitive eating and 'reconnecting' with that little girl who felt shame around delighting in food and am learning to enjoy food again, not in a medicating way but in a balanced way; putting food in its proper place, enjoying and responding to my body's cues. Grateful for healing ❤️

know that pushing yourself to “lose” weight won’t do you much good. unless you’re doing it for your health and happiness. not cause of how you look. i was there too. and i ended up having a huge tumour that made me bigger. and none of the exercise and starving i did, helped me. if you’re a bigger size and can’t lose weight i recommend going to the doctor.

I relate to Linda on so many levels. I remember go back to school shopping and hating trying on clothes. I never fit into anything while my older sisters looked beautiful. Then ,throughout high school, I developed an eating disorder. It's hit especially hard during covid and I was crazy. I remember skipping out of food and telling myself jt will always be there later. Well, this year I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I cant have things like my grandads tortillas or my dad's homemade cookies anymore. I could've treasured them a bit more and now I can't have them. Don't take food for granted and it's nostalgia.

if you’re a bigger kid, please know you don’t need to eat health or worry about your body right now. you’re fine. you’re a child. we have baby fat. we all grow. it took me until i was 17 to slim down due to an illness. balance is her key but if you’re still a chubby kid, you can’t really balance it cause all the reason you’re doing it is to be small. you’re okay. i promise.

the treadmill is the bane of my existence now. i hated forcing myself to use it for 2+ hours bc i felt the urge to burn calories. now i have my own work out regiment and i feel much more satisfied when i am done; in the sense that I feel as if my body benefitted from the workout to the extent where I am motivated to do it over and over. i am so happy with my progress, not only with my body pshycally, but also how I veiw it, and my habits to styaing healthy, like eating enough and doing excersises that can help my whole body and strengthen it - isntead of jsut running.

I was the overweight kid (still am) and currently still trying to fix my eating habits. I don’t want to relapse back into the vicious cycle of binge-restrict. It gets hard because I haven’t lost weight, and I have a big stomach and thighs. I’m also a very picky eater, so I don’t eat vegetables or anything that’s really healthy.

[@Isabel-lb9fg]

Hi, I feel you! I don't know the details of your situation so I don't want to presume anything, but from my experience I've found my taste buds and habits have changed over several years where I am more receptive to some veggies like sugar snap peas and green beans and baby carrots and will enjoy them very simply. I would say focus on the few you like, then the few you tolerate, and the more you eat them the better it will get :)

This healed a part of me, too, somehow. Food was always such a comfort for me, especially after my parents divorced, and it caused me to develop an extremely unhealthy relationship with food.

I’m really glad KZbin recommended your channel to me❤ When I was a Freshman in Uni, I lost 10kg(22.05lbs) from stressing out about the entrance exam; I was never a big kid to begin with. And when I went back to my normal healthy weight, people started saying that I looked chubbier in a kind of judgy manner and I hated myself while trying to lose all the weight I had just gained back. But thanks to you, I’ve learned that as long as I’m comfortable in my own skin without having any illness then it’s all ok. So thank you so so much for helping me realize what I didn’t see💗

[@ladybugmarinetteacces6976]

Linda, i don't think you are aware that you saved me. I was struggling with a severe Anorexia, i was eating so little per day and exercise too much, i was so unhealthy and yet i was seeing myself fat, i had a bad body dysmorphia and i had cut all the carbs in my life, even a tiny little apple. Not just i was nearly death, but i was extremely unhappy and my head was so dizzy that when i woke up and stand up from my bed, everything was faded in black and i almoust everytime fainted, i couldn't even breath ok, i had heart problems that i still have now, and above all that i was freaking 14!!! Until i discover you, and your happines, life experience and your advices gave me a new purpose, and i took the decision to fight, to not let my fears kill me. And i fought 5 months, with ups and downs, and now look at me almoust fully recovered. I have not enough words to thank you, you literally saved my life. Thank you

[@janejennings04]

I am thankful to watch Linda eat three meals a day. Recently, I’ve found myself comparing what I eat to others. If someone else only eats to meals a day, so should I. If someone studies instead of making time for physical nourishment, so should I. I grew up eating three meals a day; I like to prioritize my eating! But I have been in a mindset lately that fewer meals is better and I should try to limit myself to two a day. It’s refreshing to see Linda make time to eat at every mealtime of the day.

[@MelonaPelona1]

[@pargie989]

Linda I just want to say a huge thank you. A couple of years ago I started to get into this routine habit of not thinking I was skinny enough and so I started working out every day and it caused an unhealthy mindset where I didnt think i was good enough for the world. Before i could delve any further into that mindset, I came across one of your videos and your perspective on body image and eating made me realise i didnt have to change myself for the world, if I was going to it had to be for me. So all i can say is thank you and i hope you know that your videos and your freedom helps save people from themselves and thats a rare gift:)

I also start hanging out with other fitness youtubers from 26 to 31, then at 28 to 31 i also would workout and burn over 1,000 calories in 45 mins running the tredmill and not eating too clean and sometimes not even eating enough when i love my asian food especially growing up and eating dim sum with my mom.

I am “the fat kid” and i always told myself that that was who I’ll always be and that because of that my opinions and arguments are less important/ cared about compared to other better looking people. 11:32 to 11:58 is basically how I am now. I am15 and my whole life I have only ever been the fat kid. There is not one time, except for like ages 1 to 7 where I have not been scared and insecure about everything I do and say. It’s hard to see myself as anything really. I wasn’t particularly smart and I always said that I was worthless since I had nothing going on. And being “fat” was just another argument to pile to my hate for myself. Can’t say that I “love myself” now maybe in the future, but it’s just really comforting knowing that I’m not the only one experiencing this. 12:18 to 12:26 also I would tell myself.

Gushers, Welch’s fruit snacks particularly the peach ones, and fruit roll ups or fruit by the foot ( bonus points if they’re the tropical ones) Dinner: Mac and cheese or pesto cavatappi from noodles and company!! Also cheese pizza and salad. I love this idea so much and I’m going to have a day with all my favorite childhood meals to heal my inner child ❤❤❤

i had very rough and exhausting week and finally i have some free time and lying in bed eating proteins oats watching Linda's video calms my soul and body💗

I feel kinda terrible for saying, that seeing you struggle with food, made me feel better. I always though, that I never could be as cool, as sportive as perfect as you, but seeing you struggle too, made me kinda accept my problems. Don't get me wrong...I don't want you to struggle

[@MarianaHoyos]

you made me cry with this video 😭❤️ you’re so inspiring Linda!

I remember when I said “I’m NEVER going to be a runner” and then I had a crush on a guy that ran and now that’s how I’m planning on going to college, and I CANNOT survive without it

this is the first video i’ve watched of yours after being drawn in by your energy in a short and i have to say your storytelling skills are incredible. you really touched my heart with a lot of the points you made in this video and really hit home with all those canadian childhood snacks 🥹 you’re an excellent creator and seem to have such a bright personality, thanks for sharing it with the world
