[@jeannie2000]

as a fellow 22yo chinese girl studying nutrition, your videos mean so much to me. Though you may not know each and every one of your subscribers, know that there's people around the world who are constantly supporting you on your journey to joy, peace, and happiness. Whatever that journey may look like, we love you!

[@RakisDerra]

These are a few reminders to anyone who is struggling: Our bodies are very smart Our bodies can handle food Our bodies deserve all kinds of food Gaining weight is not the end of the world, and it does not have to be the end of your happiness You are worthy, regardless of what you look like Living in the moment is so much more valuable than stressing over everything that goes into your mouth. Enjoy life because that is what you are supposed to do. Life is supposed to be spontaneous! Life is too short to miss out and you can ALWAYS get "back on track", but you will never be able to turn back time to enjoy moments of your life that you didn't enjoy, so try to be kind to yourself and your body ❤️

That's because she was slim and still is slim. It's much harder to accept weight gain when you are already overweight due to the way society stigmatises and treats fat people.

[@me_myself_andI]

Being the oldest child in an asian household who had always overworked her self and never put herself above her academic grades , your videos have really helped me in my journey of healing myself and building a not toxic relationship with my passion, my studies . Thank you so much Linda for sharing your journey on taking care of yourself and building a food relationship with the things that make you feel alive

[@kkronkk]

Karoshi, the Japanese word for 'overwork by death' was invented for a reason. It is way too common in Asian countries to work until you die. Please rest and enjoy life from time to time, there is only one life to live and you shouldn't waste away in an office chair. You should be able to be elderly and surrounded by loved ones, and be able to look back at all the great memories you made and smile! Wish you the best 👋😊

[@clarahahn5289]

I just came across your videos after searching what I eat in a day because I felt like I needed to lose some weight. Thank goodness because they stopped my toxic thinking process 🫶 appreciate this message you’re trying to spread. Thanks queen

[@emalinel]

Ive ended up gaining close to 20 pounds in the last year. Its been hard to fight every day with accepting my legs will rub together all the time whether I like it or not. But every time I watch your videos I just smile and forget all about how my body looks because you Linda, constantly remind us we are more than a number or appearance. We are living life the best we can and sometimes we just need small moments of happiness to make us feel better :)

[@kkronkk]

I have thick thighs too! You just have to remember that if everyone looked the same, life wouldn't be fun. So rock those skinny jeans and have fun with it!

linda, i LOVE being here for the journey. seeing slight changes in the way you live and the things you believe in just feels like a good reminder we’re all human and developing! i’m on my own journey too and watching yours has always helped! :D

[@coffeetea8577]

This vid couldn’t have come at a better time for me! I went back to my home country for my first proper summer holiday ever since starting university, and while I have gained weight these last two months, it happened because I ate all the yummy food of my childhood and all my favourite home cooked meals! That extra weight was the results of the memories I made, the time I spent with family I hadn’t seen in years, and that is something that can never be bought!!! Thank you Linda for driving this message home for me!!!

When you started talking about this part where "I used to be so busy all the time...", I felt that deep in my soul, even if I'm a student. "Time spent working on yourself is never a waste of time." I love that! "But being miserable just to maintain a number on a scale doesn't sound fun or healthy to me." Overall, I'm so happy I watched the vid. This seriously impacted me in a good way! Thank you, Linda.

That video made me feel that it is okay to eat what I love without feeling guilty, and that my mental health is the most important. Sorry for any written mistakes😅 ..

Glad to see your new perspective on life that you gained in Singapore is continuing. I clicked on some of your earlier videos but I couldn't watch them cos they were Before Enlightenment, and they were depressing. There are lots of food that don't look very appetising, but they taste so good. And then sometimes, food is presented in a very lovely manner, but the taste is only so-so. As you note, there are so much more interesting about a person and the value of a person than the numbers on a scale. Interesting people are like tasty food - what they look like or weigh doesn't really matter. But that's just the opinion of a Singaporean. And I love food.

Hi Linda, my ideal way of living is just coincidently like you: spending time for our physical and mental health, having enough sleep, eating delicious and fulfilling meals, netflix binge, getting sweaty,... I love all of these so much, but summer holiday is about to end and I have to come back to school. Honestly, I'm getting afraid of those heavy schedules, stressful homeworks and exams, and I'm afraid that I couldn't get enough sleep, or having enough time to work out, that I'll be under stress and gain weight. I know the only to conquer fear is to face it, but I'm still scared.
