This girl doesn't understand how many people she helps without even realising. a true queen.
this exact same comment gets posted every single video, we get it
shes just amazing
PERIOD.
Raquel Sousa I posted this comment after watching the video? I wasn’t copying another persons comment, although whoever did comment that clearly has good opinions .
Seriously 🥺❤️ I appreciate Linda SO much for these life changing ways of looking at weight and working out.
I don’t think she realizes that she’s perfectly, herself. That she really and truly helps so many people. We are all here for you Linda. You can do this
We got this 😉
@@lindasunyt yes we do 🤍
I love how your mindset is always “I get to workout now” and not “i have to workout now”
I love how positive you are!
My mindset is definitely "lift some weights lazy bitch"
@@Vybex285yy omg same
"Maybe this is the weight my body should be at, and this is the body I was meant to have". 😭😭😭✨✨✨
I'm thinking about this more and more. I eat well and love exercising. I take long walks each day and exercise 150-250min each week, for the past half year. I don't look like a fitness CZcamsr and I probably never will. I look my own healthy instead.
@@clare2385 Love this!!! 👏🏼 In the end, I think it's about finding what feels good for your body and your mind 💖 It's easier said than done, but I'm glad to hear there is a whole bunch of us in this journey, together🙏🏼
@@clare2385 you’re fucking amazing
@@user-mm7fx7jh5v you thinking your hideous is a problem babe, if you hate yourself at this size you will at another, its true inner work that is important for you to practice. as long as you are healthy who could- other than you- say you are not in the body your meant to be in- your doing everything right to keep your body at its best even if it isn't what we are being feed to think it looks like. You can always improve your body at a healthy pace and way as well, thats the beauty of have a truly healthy mind and body- it just takes time, there's still hope ok.
only love and acceptance are the key *sobs*
Linda saying she stopped reading comments makes me sad because she sees the bad and not how much she has changed our lives in the best way
Hehe I will still read them right after I post I love to interact with all of you!! but I find when I continuously read them I start searching for the mean ones and they really bring me down haha 🥲🥲 but thank you for this it reminds me to focus on the good ❤️
@@lindasunyt You are doing something really great. I cant even understand how people can say mean things about you. There is no bad thing to say. Today is my first time watching you but you already made me feel peace and happy nd i know its not just me. You are teaching many people on how to cope up with our lives. You should be damn proud of yourself gurl~ You are doing great job than anyone out there and you HAVE to know that those people who write mean comments are just jealous ones who are not happy with their lives. I hope they'll change after watching your videos.
Thank you~
*a reminder - this girl has never asked for likes/comments/views/subscriptions, her content, the editing everything literally speaks for itself*
Purrrr we love her
I think it’s okay even when they do, revenue and the competition make it hard to keep their channels going at all when they don’t. I think people need to be more understanding of that.
Yasss
Okay let's be honest. This shook me a little bit. You know why: because Everyone on youtube shows us how they got over their fears and bad habits but no one shows the struggle they still have. Linda, really Thank you so much! You changed my life and saved me in some points! I quickly realized after discovering your channel that i was manipulating myself. I was restricting and over exercising and all that stuff. But you taught me how to love myself and how to eat what i love without fear. I even got results. I have been fighting in the wrong way for years but i got the results. Linda, Thankyouu! Hope you feel good and that you make everyday count cuz you deserve it!!
great works.
@@spid3rgwen415 tysmm
Yep. The struggle to be fit & happy. Universal battle on the mind with the body
Please tell me how you did it 🥲
linda telling her brother she will give him 3 raspberries when he asks for 2, makes me so so happy 😌
😋😋😋
Okay but why is no one talking about how adorable she looked in those ponytails 😭
yesss just thinking that!
yeSssss
Just what I thought. 😊😊😊
Ikr those pigtails were sooo cute
They were adorable 🥰
I hope you feel better soon. You made me stop myself from going to a horrible path. You stopped me from counting calories, under eating and restricting. ❤
I believe in you so so much, you are doing great and I am proud of every step you have taken 💗💗 keep blossoming bb!!
I’m happy you stopped restricting and underrating it can be very detrimental on your health, body, and mind! Also counting calories is definitely not for everyone it can have positive and negative impacts depending on the person!
I catch my self doing it sometimes , so I remember what Linda said and it helped me . I remember not eating and not because I was scared that everything I ate equaled a pound .
I believe in you! Linda did the same for me, and I just want you to know you are loved, you deserve to eat, you are beautiful, and your size does not define you.
You guys are so nice 🥺🥺
all you people out here ‘advising’ her as if you guys are nutritionist or something?!
if you don’t like her videos skip through it!
she have parents and family to get her help if she needs and you guys have nothing to say on her
If you continued to watch her videos even after reading her disclaimer then it’s your problem n not hers
STOP SPREADING HATE TOWARDS HER FOR DAMN SAKE!
Do you know the difference between “spreading hate” and “constructive criticism”? Her audience is young, and she’s using her parasocial relationship with them (compounded with a very structured, #relatable attitude) to make money (constant Gymshark and protein bar product pushing). She knew she would “fail” this “experiment,” so what was the point? (Ah, yes, views). This is not a good example of fitness (bad form, anyone?) or diet. And for anyone who says she’s not making these videos to teach people anything, judging by all the teen girls in her comments who see her as a sort of idol, they are watching what she’s doing closely (and given their impressionable age, might be copying it).
Her liking of this comment showcases her emotional manipulation of her audience.
@@Nicotine027 Well said, It's amazing how many people just expect criticism to involve people being nice and not actually calling people out.
@@Ghost-fe1vp Exactly. What she’s doing is highly manipulative and destructive to the young people who watch her. She’s not a child. She’s a 20-year-old woman making bank off of young girls’ insecurities.
@@Nicotine027 eXcUsE mE! Hold it. Linda is here to spread positivity. i mean what would she get out of making people MORE insecure about themselves? Definetly not likes. And about advertising she has gotta make her bread you know? And most of her videos are not even sponsered by built bars, we just see her eat them. And gym shark, we see her wear those cloths in every linda video. And whatever she is giving advice or "teaching" people is out of her own experience and its not all teen girls blah blah, please do not put all of us diverse people in a same catagory. And yes, for me Linda is my idol not just because she is slim and eats dilicious foods and wears gym shark but because we see her as a roll model and not an "idol", because she is giving out as much positivity needed to this world
@@Ghost-fe1vp being nice is what is generally expected, dont you think? 🤭 But seriously, call it out but dont bash her saying she is "making bank out of *teen girl's insecurities* " creative criticism is supposed to be for good of the producer so he/she can improve or in some cases not spread wrong messages but here if i was linda i would be straight up hurt and offended.... Please put yourself in Linda's shoes once... Xx
“Im going to stop making her smaller than she is meant to be” never know I needed this🥺🥺🥺
‘No body shape is forever.’ this sentence change my mind
Yes! Like holy crap is it powerful
i'm gonna fucking cry. WE SHOULD NOT BE TALKING TO OURSELVES THAT WAY. it breaks my heart
Right
EXACTLY, we just love ourselves! God made us perfectly and we shouldn’t talk negatively about ourselves Bc we’re perfect! We should also strive to be better but in a positive way not negative!
Can we just acknowledge that she’s showing her audience that eating what you want is OK. This is something we need more of. Young girls in this day and age aren’t shown that they can eat what they want, look however, and still love themselves. Thank you Linda💕
Dear, Linda.
I'm a Coach Greg's subscriber and I rarely post comments on CZcams but I just want to tell you no matter what some people have done here that make you sad, remember that you are always loved and worthy. I watched some of your videos too and I can tell that you're a genuine person and you have helped and inspired a lot of people. I believe that those people who wrote demotivating comments here are simply not aware that their choices of language can hurt someone in a way that brings that person to a very deep level of sadness. They just don't understand that some people in this world are more sensitive and emotional than others (I'm a highly sensitive emotional individual too :)) and I think Coach Greg didn't mean to hurt you either he just disagree with that video of yours and he wants his audience to know how exactly fitness world should be. I hope you don't take what has been going on that personally and do what's best to deal with it next. I saw your protein pancake recipe and noticed that you use PB2 powdered peanut butter. Chef Greg loves PB2 too maybe you'd like to try his recipes and review it on your channel just like what you did to Pamela, MadFit etc.
Love from somewhere in this archipelago on the other side of the planet. Hope you stay healthy and happy!
I just watched this Greg guy and was genuinely surprised that he plugged his book in the middle of bashing her.
Chef Greg is basically a glorified drama channel at this point. He misrepresented her video and much his rabid fan base love to pile on.
I’m sorry, but despite his efforts to be entertaining and dispel information, he doesn’t critically think about his own content and very much seeks to tear people down. You’re not exactly helping Linda because you haven’t considered what that video did to her. If she’s not really responded to it, why bring it up?
@@rhi7513 this comment is so underrated
Hello Linda! Ok so, those tricep push ups!!👊🏼👊🏼
Also, that Salmon salad is nearly identical on one of my favourite lunches (I just have strawberries instead!)... so good!! 🍓 🍓🍓🍓
And you look beautiful in the colourful gym clothes!
Keeping it real as always Linda... we love it Cx
Caroline! ❤
hi caroline!!
You're such an Idol Caroline
Caroline and Linda have both changed my life and inspired me to be the best version of myself and see exercise as a way to have fun and not punishment! Thank u both for helping me and so many other people! 🥺💓💓
caroline is an amazing human being 😘😍
“the weight doesn’t change what you can do”
I needed to hear that
@Jennifer Xia its more than just being able to lift up and pull up (it is body resistence and strength). but its being able to know that you can do anything no matter what ur weight is, being able to wear a crop top and not thinking "oh if only i could weight less" or being able to start something that you like and not doing because u feel bad about ur weight ... linda knows what she was saying whe she said that, its a great message
after discovering this channel, I started loving myself for who I am rather than how I look, I stopped working out because I wanted to be a certain body type and more for because I enjoy it, I eat what I want and when I want to not restricting myself a "diet" this channel has been a big help in my loving myself, so thank you :).
Some of y'all really came here to hate and leave rude messages. I know coach greg meant well for her but did u even think before writing these messages about how she is feeling rn? And to people who are saying if i eat like her i will gain this much pound or whatever, first of all she has never said to eat like her. She has told many times that eating like her doesn't makes u look like her and u have to eat what is right for your body. I hope u guys are not judging her based on one video. I hope u are not too stressed about these comments linda💛.
Yeah, be nice guys! We don't want her to binge eat an entire bag of Doritos on the kitchen floor while she cries at these comments on here. If she gets too fat she'll lose her sponsorship!
Unfortunately, you know with any fandom, there are going to be some bad apples that completely ignore the message of being accepting and not spreading hate, and so forth. She just needs to figure out a productive way to deal with it. Personally, I'd just recognize them as the lesser things that they are, and ignore.
I can’t be the only one that would eat whatever Linda cooked.
Definitely not. My stomach keeps growling, lmao
Same!!! She should have a cook book.
I would as well.
not just what she cooked... how she ate... she makes us feel empowered tbh
sameeee it all looks so good!!!
No joke, you should literally make a cookbook. I can’t stand not having the recipe for your breakfasts! 🤤
Absolutely and all the mother sun meals
Why you so genius!?
PLEASE LINDA!!! BING RECIPES! PANCAKE RECIPES!!! we need all of them!!! :)
@@sadlasagna She actually posted a bing recipe in a past video! I don’t remember what the title was but I’m sure you can find it if you search her channel:)
@@elizabethsodimu9457 i know i know! but her mom makes so many versions! i want to try them all
I’m 41 and you inspire me. Thank you for your honesty and being real. Watching you eat and celebrate your food makes me feel joyful. 💗💗💗
who would've thought that a girl 6 years younger than me is what is giving me serotonin and reminding me to love my body today! i love this and you. thank you.
Ha! She's 21 years younger than me and I feel the same :)
This just shows that even the strongest person who always encourages others is struggling sometimes and that we ALL eventually need encouragement no matter how smart and confident we are. Linda, if you’re reading this: Let us encourage you the same way you’ve been encouraging US the past months. You are intelligent, strong and absolutely gorgeous at whatever size and weight you are or will be. You are worthy of everything you want to do and reach in life and you deserve nothing but happiness. And no matter what your mind might tell you, You will ALWAYS be worthy of happiness!♥️
And no matter how your body might change, you won’t EVER need to restrict on something or do something to “earn” food and happiness🙏🏼
You are a strong, beautiful badass woman, never forget that... but if you do, let us remind you, over and over again if that is what you need♥️
Love you girl... honestly ✨🤍
I was actually in a slump once and I was scared of watching Linda's videos because I thought I'd feel so useless and lazy compared to her. But I watched the video and it turned my whole day around. I was sad and depressed before but after Linda's beautiful words, I wanted to workout and I was proud of my body. She literally just gave me the positive mindset. Thank you so much Linda ❤️
Yes!! We love you
Everything I needed to hear thank you ❤️
“no food is off limits, but i have to listen to my bodies limits.” that really stuck with me
linda you’re my biggest inspiration. when I feel tired or when I don’t have any motivation to do my workouts, I just watching you and you make me to do it and I’m so thankful for you for this. 💖
I literally spend the hole video with my eyes full of tears, and at the end when I thought "everything's fine, I did not cry" you came with that beautiful message and I couldn't hold them anymore... For me linda you are a sister that I never had, someone that inspires me and someone who I wanna see growing.
Love u, I'm sending love, support and everything good for you and your family.
Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷💜💜
me as a thirty one year old thinking "how to be like linda sun when i grow up" lol, sissss keep going! your videos give me life
40 year old that's doing the same
Same!! 31 year old here 🙋🏾♀️
The "Dear My Body" part just smacked me in the face so hard I had to pause and immediately start reflecting on how mean I am to my body...I know you said you don't read comments anymore but whenever you get around to it, Linda, you are changing lives. And you have no idea just how many lives you're changing.
Rock chalk
I know she literally made me cry 😭
Honestly thank you for creating your videos. Often times I feel so lonely struggling to find the balance between nurishing my body and punishing it. I hate feeling so afraid of weight gain. Those moments when I find myself falling back into extreme restricting and over exercising which I know will only lead to pain and failure I find your channel. Thank you for being a source of self acceptance and body kindness. Thank you for being a voice of reason.
every time I feel down or body shame/ guilt I come an rewatch these videos and feel so much better, so empowered, it's like..it's like therapy somehow..so soothing and gentle. thank you linda...honestly
"what is this food going to do for me?" wow... that hit really hard. this woman has absolutely changed my life. love you so much linda we are all so proud of you
Yes!! It give you nutrients & helps your body move & survive!
Same here. Had to pause the vid to repeat it outloud
🥺🥺❤️❤️
This is like perfect timing. I’ve gained a lot of weight and have had a hard time with it. Thank you for this.
Same here.
Exactly this
Yea
Same, this comment section really helps me to feel less alone :)
Remember gaining weight isn’t always a bad thing! It’s also normal
This girl helps me through my life so much! I've not felt guilty about eating for so long because of Linda's motivational speaking throughout her videos. She really is so inspirational and has taught me that food is fuel and your body needs it and I also deserve it. Thankyou so much!!! ❤️❤️
I feel like I really needed your "one day at a time" message. I've been really struggling with my body image and it reminds me of my insecure, high school self. Your videos really help me and are so relatable. I wish we could be friends!
Does this human being realize how much pain she healed, and how many lives she saved ???
yes! she saved me from my eating disorder! im on recovery right now and im 16 days strong! its all thanks to Linda
@dayra, Just in case someone hasn’t told you today, I am soooooo happy for you that you are recovering from your eating disorder. You are so strong and and really anyone who can overcome an eating disorder is an inspiration. Keep going, you got this!!!!!!
@@dayra292 she helped me with my eating disorder too! :)
@@dayra292 you are doing great! Sending you love!
@@dayra292 your 20 days now! (I think... im not that good at math lol) so celebrate and keep going strong!
for everyone that says “omg you eat too much/too little” just remember that every body is different! me, personally, I don’t need a lot of snacks to keep me fueled throughout the day, but others might and that’s ok! just because someone eats different to you doesn’t mean they’re unhealthy!
Agreed! Personally I eat my dinner a little early and I tend to eat more for dinner than breakfast! Ik a lot of people say you shouldn't eat much for dinner but it works for me(plus I wouldn't wanna skip a family dinner to eat a salad haha)...live and let live! Everybody is different!
Ily
Exactly. I can't believe people believe there is a "one diet/lifestyle fits all" like that. Doesn't. Exist. Period.
Actually did you know that stomach can change ? So it’s all depending on you if you give some habits to your stomach it ll change and won’t need a lot of food to feel satiate but if you often eat a lot then it ll take this habit
Yeah, everybody is different and that makes life interesting and more complex!
I always have bigger meals and I eat more on dinner actually
I am giving up smoking and for the past three weeks I've been overeating in order to cope with the nicotine cravings. As you can imagine, I gained almost 4 kg. I was really disappointed in myself for not being able to control my urges, but you just reminded me that I should be more understanding with myself because at the end of the day, if you're being kind to your body, it will be kind to you as well. My mood was pretty low, so for more than two weeks I didn't exercise at all. You really motivated me to return to what makes me happy as: exercising, eating yummy food (without overfeeding myself- and yes, I did that as well) and being the best version of myself basically. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You're one of the people that always bring me comfort. You're beautiful inside and out!
Linda, i have been watching your videos for a few months now and i just love how REAL you are...SOO self motivated. You have every reason to be proud of yourself because you accept and work on what you feel needs improvement and that is one of your biggest strengths. To that extent, I have to say that makes me proud of YOU. I believe that food is medicine, not only for the body but also for the mind. You love food, and you are so happy and glowy when you eat and try new things. You work hard and workout like a beast. Being a foodie myself, sometimes i tend to go overboard and thats OKAY. I have some good days and occasionally bad ones. I just take a step back and introspect and figure out how to achieve BALANCE.
Thank you so much for being so open and sharing your life, struggles, strengths, vulnerability and thought process. I read your comments too and you are helping sooo many people and that is also something to be proud of. I appreciate it. You are awesome!
the whole day i was like 'i wish linda posted..." and HERE IT IS! 😍
Saaammme , best CZcamsr ever ❤️❤️
ME TOO!! no pressure on her of course
I thought she posted on Sundays.
Me tooooo!!
same!!
Bruh I really teared up when she started talking to her body ;(
Same!
YES! I was so close to crying...
Same :(
Linda, you have helped me so much in my journey of learning to appreciate my body and you're absolutely an amazing person. Never stop doing what you're doing because we all love and appreciate you more than you'll ever know💕
This. This video is exactly how I was feeling in my fitness journey. Im back to the beginning but im working to get back to being my best self. Appreciating what my body does to me has been a struggle but im working on it. Thank you linda ❤️ this video is exactly what i needed rn.
It is okay to gain weight. Imagine if everyone’s had the same body figure..
We are each special in our own ways, our arms legs cheeks hair eye shapes, weight is different than other people. We are special in our own body.
Yessss! Gaining weight shouldn’t be looked down on, it’s normal when growing up and depending on the reasons it can be a good thing!! Like I gained weight and now I look better! And other gain weight Bc they were underweight & under eating! So gaining weight isn’t always a bad thing & shouldn’t be deemed upon.
Thank you this made me feel better
I'm 14 and I started having anorexia from the age of 13..I am going to be 15 this August..This will be 2 years suffering from Anorexia..I want to stop so bad but I can't..People think I want attention but that's not the case..I enjoy destroying myself when I am depressed or angry
Linda you helped me a lot..I slowly started eating little by little..I don't purge much as I used to
Edit: Thank you all for all your concerns and prayers..love you all sm..
Trust in Jehovah
As humans were scared of change, even if it’s for the better. It’s “normal” to self sabotage because the unknown is scarier than staying stuck in the same cycle even if it brings us pain. Don’t worry, every small step you take towards getting better and treating yourself better counts. Tell yourself one kind thing every day and you’ll be surprised how your thinking will change. I wish you the best! I struggled with this too when I was younger. I still struggle time to time but those times are further and further in between. You’ll get there!
I experienced that behind eating disorders there's a hidden mental issue. Something that convinces you that you look ugly if you gain weight and that you won't be happy even though you aren't even happy now. And once I tackled that, the eating disorder magically disappeared. I saw that there's more to life and that food is there to be enjoyed. What really helps is to write down your thoughts and reasons why you try to starve yourself. Try talking to someone. Appreciate your body for what it does everyday like keeping your heart pumping. And always remember, you are loved.
You can do this❤️ I’m proud of you, keep it up girl!❤️
You’re very brave for opening up about this! I’m so proud of you, you’ll get better no matter how little the steps you take into that progression💖.
I'm so glad Linda is sharing every part of her journey. It's so incredibly easy to forget that these figures we look up to have bad days and weeks just like us, and I'm happy she is being true to herself and sharing everything.
You've already made me cry with this video. Thanks a lot, thanks a million times Linda. Finding you and your channel this year is one of the best things that could happen to me, I'm totally honest, actually, thank you so much for everything, you've made me see things differently, and that's amazing
She makes me feel so proud of the path I’m on
You have the same last name as me :D
You should be proud Bc you’re probably doing amazing and you should be happy Bc of that!
@@AshNicole thank you for spreading so much positivity I see you in a lot of comments 💗
Happy women's history month girlies!😭 cheers to a year of empowerment, self love and lots of delicious food!♡
Linda, you have no idea how much your videos means to me, they are so encouraging and comforting !
You really helped me and I hope that you know we'll always be there for you, you're absolutly amazing !

Sis food is not something it deserves, it is something that is needed, and You should remember it because it was something that YOU (yes, you, Linda, by name) taught me and if you get down we'll be there to get you up ❤️

why did this make me cry. probably my favourite youtube video ever, you have an amazing way of putting your thoughts into words. you’re amazing linda❤️❤️
i love how linda is like so real about things i mean none of the youtubers i used to watch never really helped me in anyways but linda u just showed me how to love my body and be me thank you so much
hi linda, ur probs not going to see this and i usually don't comment, but i wanted to say this. for the past year or so, i've been struggling with restricting my calories to an amount (I'm not going to say the number bc i don't wanna trigger anyone) that was way too low. i convinced myself that since i wasn't officially underweight, i didn't have a problem and that i didn't DESERVE help. but i watched ur videos (over the course of like a single day lol) and today i told my parents what i've been dealing with and i'm meeting with a therapist and dietician next week. again, u aren't gonna see this, but thank you thank you thank you so frickin much for teaching me that i deserve to love myself no matter what. :)
I’m so proud of you! 💘💞💗
I wish my parents could be like that. I had a similar situation and they just said “but you’re losing weight at that what’s important”. I’m really proud of you. Hope I can reach that level too
Proud of u :)! How do u tell ur parents , idk how to tell mine
@@sarawebster3382 this is the worst because coming from your parents, you automatically think it is true, when in fact only YOU are able to know what your body needs. But just because parents see your worth in weight it doesn't mean you habe to!!!
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Caroline’s workouts build a lot of muscle too. Remember muscle weighs more than fat. You are stunning
Muscle doesn’t weight more than fat, 1lb of fat weighs the same at 1lb of muscle it’s just one is more dense than the other! Right idea, just wrong words!
@@AshNicole of course 1lb of fat is the same as 1lb of muscle, it’s one lb. If you think size they would be different. One lb of muscle would have a smaller volume than one lb of fat
@@AshNicole Muscle is more dense than fat. 1lb of fat will have more volume than 1lb of muscle.
@@AshNicole I don't see any problems with her comment? If muscle is more dense than fat, then obviously a certain volume of muscle weighs more than the same volume of fat.
@@tina_2055 I don't understand why everyone has to make this comment. I saw several videos as well. No one thinks that 1lb of fat is 2lb of muscle. If you have a given volume of 1 cm^3 , the 1 cm^3 of muscles would weigh more than the 1 cm^3 of fat and this is what the saying describes. And YES this is because of the density, but since when is everyone trying to be so hypocrite of physical variables. No one divides their "weight" through gravity, which would be their actual mass. If you know what the person is saying, why does everyone feel the need to correct that person, when both can be right depending on their perspective.
hi Linda, you probably get this a lot because you're literally an angel, but I really want to say thank you.
I'm only 13 and I've been dealing with quite a serious eating disorder where i would refuse to eat and you managed to make me start seeing past the problem, the constant fear of gaining weight or eating the "wrong" foods. I've been watching your videos for about a month and I've grown so much thanks to your helpful and inspirational advise. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE because you are perfect and don't listen to anything that those haters say to you cause they're just jelous. Really Linda thank you!!
ps: i cried cause Iiterally have no way of telling you how much you've done for me
You probably won't see this, Linda, but you have been such an inspiration for me. I used to hate my body because I had this unrealistic standard of what I should look like. I never starved myself but I restricted. I felt ashamed after eating even though I was eating healthy. If I missed a workout I said hateful things to myself. But then, I found your channel. Over time I learned to love myself. I now eat what I want. I strive for health and happiness, not a number on the scale. I feel so much happier now and that's all thanks to you. Thank you, Linda. 💖
To whoever reads this: I’m so proud of you for making it so far💞
i'm proud of you too

I don’t know who even says that her workouts don’t show! She is a fitness queen and I wish my body was toned like her. You are beautiful and I struggle with body dysmorphia. It is hard, but just do you and live the life you love.
i love how you show also the negative sides and that not everything‘s going perfect
you literally make me cry while talking this much kind and sweet!! you are a life saver & changer for me and my body. you make me feel much more happy with the body i have. you make me love myself. i love you
Dear Linda,
I’m an 11 year old girl and I found your channel last year. I thought this would be some regular old channel but it wasn’t. You showed me how to take care of my body in the worst of times. I would never want to eat the foods I loved because I thought about gaining weight. But you taught me to love my self and you motivated me to eat everything I loved and at the same time workout. And let me tell you I used to hate working out but ever since you just I fell in love with it. Instead of waking up at 7;30 and rushing I would wake up at 5:30 and workout shower and get ready for my day. I became productive, fit , and healthy all because of you. ❤️❤️ and you and your family always make me feel so happy, and you make me appreciate the little moments with the. As well as the bigger ones.thanks for influencing me as an influencer
Im proud of u ily
So so proud babes Keep going! You got this
Can we stop a second and realize the level of work her videos is??? Because filming all the moments, meals, workouts , talking parts and then cutting and making the video... OMG, you are a girl boss Linda ✨ congrats, keep going, you are helping yourself and everybody here ❤️
can we, stop using the wording "can we stop for a second..."
jesus christ be a little original
@@saimahmed8448 ur comment is not needed 😂
neither was yours... completely irrelevant and fluff
@@saimahmed8448 but i didn’t ask ur opinion? I was just putting in light the work she does for her videos :) didn’t need your anger, as i said: not necessary
@@alicialuiggi5574 sorry darling, you're on an open forum
you're amazing Linda, thanks for your kind words and reminders of things that already should be clear but aren't. you helped me so much and I'm so grateful to watch your videos and to have like a person that understands and just pushes me into the right direction. don't stop you and your preaches are everything and for sure needed
I love you Linda❤️ I can't even explain how much you've helped me love and respect myself and my body. You re a true role model for all of us watching
I’m so glad you posted this, I keep feeling like shit because I’m not “intivutive eating” and I feel like I’m always eating too much. I’m a big snacked though I hate to admit it. I want to love my body but how when it’s suffered so much. I’ve starved it, overfed it, I hated it, I hope soon I will come to love it. I was in recovery but these last few weeks I feel that I’m back deep into my hole. I don’t want to go deeper and you’re one of the few people holding me up. I hope you know that you don’t need to push yourself 🙂❤️❤️
I relate to this sooo much. I’ve been trying to relearn how to listen to my body but it’s such a hard journey when I still don’t have that trust with it. Just know you’re not alone
So relatable. We can do it together
I can feel you. It's a very hard journey . I have been through this shit for almost 3 years and is still trying to get out of it . Hope I can get success .🙁
there’s a food tracker app called Ate! it doesn’t have any calorie tracking instead it has you track your meals and then it ask you how you feel afterwards! you can add pics and set your own goals without getting too bogged down by the numbers :)
I love that so much I think I’d really want to download that !
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN APP LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG!
You da best.
“maybe this is the weight my body should be at and maybe this is the weight my body was meant to have.” mannn i love you linda
she literally helps me so much and i know for many others too. I keep rewatching all of Linda's vids as their so inspiring, when i feel down her videos always just brighten up my day :)
After this video all I can say is “I’m sorry body”
i love the way brother sun is always so concerned about linda’s back and neck pain 🥺🥺
I also watch coach Greg- but seeing ppl come from his video to this one just to hate on this random girl trying to help people who have eating disorders makes me really uncomfortable- It’s made for a completely different demographic of people- of course there are going to be things you disagree with- but be better people than last time! Leave constructive criticism! Don’t just leave random hate comments because that doesn’t help you or her
very well said!
She's not helping people though.
She's peddling B.S. to sell built bars and gym shark trash.
Seeing just how furious her actions make people just might turn others off from listening to her spew trash.
She shovels it out and it's coming right back at her.
@@Ghost-fe1vp constructive criticism and telling facts in a civilized way will make people be turned off by her- when I see comments calling her stupid and screaming “MORE SPEWS MORE VIEWS SCREW GYM SHARK AND BUILT BARS” most people think... wow... these people have too much time and are kind of crazy- instead saying “hey, what’s she’s advertising isn’t very safe because (reason 1) and (reason 2)” it makes people become more aware that she’s wrong. Do I agree with her. No. But do think some people are taking things way to far. Yes.
@@eh563 Those kind of replies are there for those who want them.
The two pronged attack method will capture more minds than simply being nice to an abuser.
@@Ghost-fe1vp who are you calling an abuser??
Linda, I have been watching you for months and I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have found you. I have been on a lifelong journey of discovering myself and trying to feel good about myself, I would say it has been a lot like your journey actually, but it is so so so so helpful to know that even when you are at a good place with yourself, you can have your self-doubts. I think it is important for people to realize that being at peace with yourself is so much more important than looking a certain way for someone else, and you always deliver this message perfectly. With help from you, I know it's okay to have self-doubts without letting them conquer my life, and knowing other people feel this too makes me feel more secure with where I am. Thank you so much Linda, you have helped heal so many people.
I've never said "oh girl same" so many times.
this came at the perfect time because i didn’t go to the gym for two and a half months and the beginning is literally what i said to myself
me too, recently I gained weight and was blaming myself for it but this video helped me so much
Omg this is the best CZcams video I've ever watched in my life. I CRIED TOWARD THE END. I think I'm going to watch this everyday, until your words are etched in my brain.
you have really inspired me to get and get going, exercising to love my body and be happy instead to make other people happy. just know that gaining weight is normal, its alright! its more than alright! loving your videos
“life gets really unpredictable and stressful”
“Your body is yours for a reason”🥺❤️
Linda Sun, I LOVE YOUUUU 🥰
ILYYYTTTTT🥰🥰🥰
i love how real you are. you always seem so confident and i find myself wishing i could love my body like you do. even though you might’ve gained weight, it’s never going to stop us from seeing you differently because you said it yourself! we all have our own bodies and only one so we should love it and nourish it. the food look so good in this video as per usual, thankyou for being vulnerable but still end up telling us what is truly healthy for you.
Remember your worth so much more than you realize! You are beautiful the way you are! And try to gain more confidence Bc you’re AMAZING!
This video made me cry. Thank you Linda for being so honest, your videos radiate the most positive energy ever. Thank you for motivating me to better myself. To treat myself. And to love myself. Thank you
Honestly my favorite youtuber of all time. Your videos are like their own little inspiring productions and I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. You make me wanna work out and I don’t enjoy working out as much as some people do but you inspire me to better myself
Linda you are an INSPIRATION!!! I lost my job due to the pandemic. Since then, I’ve started a CZcams channel on Money...and it is GROWING!!! Thanks for all of your great content, and to everyone else...NEVER GIVE UP!!!
you comment on legit every video i watch
fr like do you think he even watches the videos he self promotes on?
What makes me sad is that even those who are absolutely gorgeous,(like Linda, me, and ALL of you!!) are still bombarded with this pressure to look a certain way. We are all so beautiful and unique in our own special ways!!💖
@Jennifer Xia You 100% are!
It's hard to find people who supports and talk about body positivity and their insecurity and that is why I'm so lucky to find Linda sun
you cannot imagine how much inspiration you give us.. as someone who has struggled with eating disorders for years, i can finally say that i am out of the mindset that was afraid to recover until i am sick enough, and i am embracing my body and need for food, i am prioritizing my studies and family and trying my best not to give food a power over me, and i owe it to you. thank you for being real with us, it is an every day struggle for all of us and we dont expect you to be perfect always. love you
I literally finally started feeling confident and appreciate my body after turning 22 last September. I was always solely focusing on how I gained weight in school and looked ugly to other people, but absolutely F that. I finally started filming videos again that show my body after being insecure for so long, and I’m so happy to be here. This is the best mental space I’ve been about my health and body for years, and it’s partially due to influencers like u that push learning to love and appreciate your body and work for health not looks. Still watching the video but keep it up💖
I love you ❤️ your so strong
So happy this came up on my feed today. Didn’t realize how much I needed this today Linda. Thank you for being you and so open. You’re a beautiful soul.
Linda, I just want to thank you for creating this kind of content. No one really shares their struggles, but I feel like that is SO important. I pray that you would continue to make progress on your journey of self love and acceptance. Thank you for all you do! Your videos have really helped me in ways that I cannot express! Keep loving yourself and remember that you are loved by so many! Have an awesome day!
I dont’t know if you’ll see this but you are literally so inspiring. Your mind set is what I have been trying to accomplish in these past years. You are doing great Linda!!!! Love your videos and thank you for making me believing in myself again in the fitness journey xx
Watching Linda’s videos makes me feel so productive, motivated and inspired
Same! She inspires me and then makes me crave peanut butter/pancakes 😄
"I've justified that these unhealthy habits are okay" - Linda
I honestly felt that
What do you mean by "healthy habits"? Sorry, my language is Spanish and I'm trying to understand the video. I love Linda
@@griseldat9159 "hábitos que no son saludables"
Yareli Beltrán Contreras si se eso, me refiero a cuales hábitos se refiere ella que no son saludables 😅
Yareli Beltrán Contreras no entendí si Linda va a bajar de peso, o si comerá más verduras😅. Estoy pasando lo mismo que ella y me sería de mucha ayuda poder entender eso
@@griseldat9159 ah ok... pues a lo que veo son las cantidades y cosas que se supone no debe comer. O bien el mal hábito de estresarse con el peso en la bascula y obsesionarse demasiado 🥲 también el hecho de criticarse tan cruelmente al principio. Que ahora ve el valor de su cuerpo de cuanto la quiere y ella en su afán de cambiarlo y siendo tan fuerte en sus criticas hacía el.
THE ,,Dear my body ‘’ part literally made me cry and think about that. You are so right !. This relationship between your mind and your body it’s so important . Our thoughts are such a big influence on our own body !. Thank you for this !. For remember me this. Have a wonderful and beautiful day as you!!.
sending you so much love and healing. healing isn’t a straight line. it’s okay to have days, week, months even that feel like a step back. it’s a part of the journey. it’s not really a step back. 💜💜
"your body is yours for a reason" literally stuck in my mind
I just- internal sobbing when I watch ur vids. This past year has been HELL for my relationship with how I look and what I eat and I always love watching your videos to keep me afloat. Keep staying strong linda ♥♥
Dear Linda, just stumbled across your videos and couldn't stop watching. Kept me up in the middle of the night and I just have to say thank you! I love your videos! Keep doing what you love and keep shining!!! You are a wonderful mind and soul and you are very beautiful! I will try the videos you mentioned in the other videos and thanks to you, there is hope in not ruining my knee by over exercising and keep jogging and doing hardcore stuff... just to lose weight. no, just include exercise in your daily routine and eat healthy, what your body craves... Get stronger physically and mentally! Thank you!!! Very much! You were like an eye opener in the last three hours for me. Sending
Your videos always calm me down, make me be more happier and less mad about my body and myself 🥺💛 thank you
