I love linda so much
I feel bad for Linda she didn’t have a Linda to get her through stuff. She had her but her didn’t care besides starving, working out and not socializing. Now we have Linda to help show us how to live life to the fullest. Love you happy late birthday lol.

I am 15 right now, and when she talked to her younger, 15 year old self, it felt like she was talking to me. I just sat there with tears in my eyes, silently thanking her. But i don´t want to be silent: So, thank you, you made me not regretting what I just ate, you made me feel good. Thank you, you´re literally amazing, Linda
You are amazing and I wish you all the best ❤️❤️
@@lindasunyt thank you so much for all youve done for everyone who watches your videos. you helped bring me out of such a dark spot and proved to me that my life is worth more then being skinny. you have truly changed my life, thank you so so much
i feel the same... just letting you know your not alone.
OMG same... im 15 too and literally cried
me too :( im 15 and just started anorexia recovery after around 3 years and i really felt it
Let's accept it, Linda's not gonna be "our little secret" anymore, hehe she growing and I'm proud of her! ❤

Girl sameeeeee
I swear Linda is the first CZcamsr who’s videos actually changed my life
edit: ive never got this many likes so thank you and it makes me so happy to hear people feel the same as me on this :))
me too, i used to watch Alivia andrea and then i realized that her videos made me more anxious :((
@@tamaraissa1593 exactly!! I watch Alivia too and whilst I love her content none of her videos encourage me to change, but Linda has helped me so much
same
Same!!
Ahh same her videos really encourage me and motivate me! If she was able to change then I can do it to!! We all can 💜
If you weren't on CZcams, I probably wouldn't be like myself right now
I agree
same here
Sameeee
Same
same
same, she has no idea how much she's helped me
When I say I cried... I CRIED. I need Linda to be my best friend right now.
I felt this. I was the fat kid. Honestly I would've not care much, but school and people glances really fuck me up. From the extrovert and sassy toddler/little girl, I began socially awkward and insicure. I was sure no one want to be my friend.
I lost a lot of weight when I hit puberty (I was 10, an early bloomer as well), but I had so much fat that I was still overweight and obviously at that age be beautiful and thin becomes a focal point in the life of a girl. I felt less than my friends, I knew no one would be interested in me.
I lost 10 kg in a little more than a year, between 13 and 14. I don't think I had an eating disorder, but for sure a disorder eating and a shitty relationship with my body: I often skipped dinner and a cycle bike (is the name right?) became my best friend.
Needless to say that loosing weight didn't change much for me, because something had to change inside.
I lived with the fear of gaining back the kg for years, and my weight fluctuates as is normal in your teenage years. At some point gaining weight became more difficult: I could literally eat everything I wanted by the end of high school and that probably healed a bit my relationship with food. But loving myself was always out of question. There will always be something that make you despise yourself: you're too short, too tall, your boobs are too small, you have cellulite, your eyes are too small ecc... I will be 21 next month and I decided I don't want to care anymore. I feel as I had waste too much time chasing the impossible, searching an excuse for self loathing. Now I exercise, but for the health of my body, not to be beautiful and I try not to care about the numbers on the scale.
Thank you Linda for what you do!
I’ll be 18! In 8 more months you inspired me to start my own journey with food and exercise ^^
@@a_rie.-. ty! I'm very happy for you, I believe in you!

this is actually the best video i've ever watched on CZcams.
You all always comment "she's only 19 and she's living her life an incredible way", she is living life now because she didn't live life before
You're incredible Linda!!
this touched my heart
@@lindasunyt omg!! She replied me!! I love you Linda, I didn't eat for last 2 days but thanks to you I'll go have dinner, I hope you and your family are doing ok, you're such an inspiration to me 💖💖 I'm really not having a good time with food and body image but your videos have helped me a lot!! ❤❤❤🥺

I was literally crying the whole video. I'm just tired of hating my body, of feeling lonely and scared. I always feel like Linda's videos are like a warm hug.
Same. I'm just so tired and I was starting to be okay with me and then one day I ate lot food and I cried so much I was so worried. I had no idea what's happening with my body how do I go better from here how do I stop loving tasty beautiful food. How do that? I'm so tired of trying things to lose weight I'm just so tired
Daniela, sending out a big hug to you! This year has been a huge shift for me and I'm finally enjoying food and accepting myself. I hope and pray you will get there soon too ♥️
@@myrnakeough2093 Thank you!

at 18:47 when she said “here is why it is all worth it” made me cry because my family could and would never sit and laugh and just have fun my dad is distant and even had my name spelled wrong in his phone he forgot my birthday and called me fat multiple times. my brother wished me dead everyday and made sure I don’t forget how much he hated me and wishes that I was dead along with calling me fat and etc. my mom always gets mad at me and won’t take responsibility for anything and turns it on me if I tell her that she wasn’t nice to me today she will just turn it on me. my bsf left cause I can’t spend the night during covid cause of health problems in my family. i’m starting to develop an ED and I keep hinting at my mom with comments like “I ate to much” (only eating dinner) and “I look rlly fat I need to stop eating so much” and if I say “i’m fat” she won’t tell me no ur not ur beautiful she will say instead we just need to eat better and it really is getting worse everyday linda’s videos are like the closest thing to therapy i’m ever gonna get it angers me that I get jealous of her family... the love they all have for each other and how much fun they enjoy each other’s company I feel if I disappeared half of my family wouldn’t even notice and I just want to be the happy little girl I was the girl who didn’t worry about weight the girl who didn’t feel sad all the time the girl who ate what she wanted without worrying it’s been a long time since i’ve seen that girl my mom has pointed it out as well so yea thanks for reading this long ass rant ❤️
UPDATE: first thank you guys for all the support and love you gave me it truly had made my day and probably my whole week and also i’m only 13 the past 3-4 days have been really bad my brother was being nice and we actually hung out and got along for about 20 minutes haven’t spoken to my dad he yelled at me cause I didn’t clean up his mess but that’s normal my mom has been mad at me and has been really mean for no reason recently and keeps telling me she’s gonna get rid of my dogs even though I fully take care of them and I keep asking her for workout stuff ( a yoga mat ) and some healthy food from the grocery store and we use instacart cause of health issues and she took ALL of my healthy stuff out of the cart after promising me that she would order it and ended up canceling the order and got mad at me because I fell asleep and also yells at me for being on my phone during a pandemic... so yea its kinda sucky rn but hopefully it will get better soon
i understand what you’re saying and i want to tell you that people love you. even if you’re family relationship isn’t great i promise that many people (including me) love you. remember that you deserve happiness and you deserve food. eat every meal and be grateful for it. you will find happiness and peace, you are on the right path. reach out for help if you need it (we are all right here) and try not to get angry at yourself, it’s easy to long for the things you wish you had. above all love yourself because you are spectacular and you are here for a reason
I am so sorry you have to go through all that, it must be painful beyond measure. Please know that even if it seems like nobody loves you, there are, and you will get the chance to meet so many new people who will love you as you grow. I really wish the best for you, and remember, if you ever need anyone to talk, I can give you my socials (insta, snap) and will be happy to listen! I love you
i don't know you, nor do i know why your family is treating you in such a manner, but i think you need to focus on yourself and what makes you happy. your family might not be the ideal, mine isn't either, you just have to believe some way, somehow life will take you where you need to go. one day you'll meet people who love and care for you and right now you just need to be that person for yourself. sending you lots of love, if you need anyone to talk to about literally anything, let me know :)
I am so so so so sorry that is awful and terrible everyone’s here for you 😊
i also live with a toxic family but I'm not gonna live with them forever one day i will leave the house for sure. stay strong and don't forget to be your own happiness nothing matter more than yourself.
I’m 22, but imagine 16 years old me having you as an idol 😞. Now, I’m fighting with bulimia 🙂. Thanks for giving me so much inspirations ✨✨

Realize how many people Linda has helped at such a young age, so many years to come 🤍
Linda is 3 years younger than me but the level of maturity and wisdom she has is just amazing.. so many things you’ve achieved
I was shocked to find out she´s younger than me. She´s so mature and amazing
She’s a whole 8 years younger than me and I still find her so wise and inspirational! ❤️
Years have nothing to do with maturity. There are people who are 3 years older than you and i'm sure you are more mature than some of them too. Age doesn't mean anything when you are in your 20's adult years.
you need to write a book or something Linda, you’ve truly helped me love myself and realise i need to love myself before anyone else can, i’ve started eating well AND eating what i enjoy and workout out because i love doing it, thank you so much for your inspiring videos you don’t even know how much it has helped🤍🤍
so i just turned 15 two weeks ago and her message to her 15 year old self was exactly what i needed to hear and i have been watching Linda’s videos every day and even rewatching them because she knows exactly what to say and she’s such an amazing person, and i just wanted to say thank you and i love you girl!!

im honestly so grateful that God somehow allowed me to stumble across Linda's youtube page, because otherwise my relationship with food wouldn't have reached this point in the last 6 years. i'm still trying my best not to feel bad for eating more than my supposed calorie intake, but looking at Linda eat just makes me think twice before putting down my fork. honestly, linda to me is like lilly sabri to linda, she just makes me love exercising and she has such an impact in my overall body image and how i take care of my body. thanks for doing what u do Linda!!
Me too! I’m grateful God get me to Linda’s videos because she has helped me a lot
Yessss this!!
I feel like she's literally telling me my life
I just hope that one day, I too, can be proud of being me. I still have a long ways to go, but this video made me realize that it is possible.

Yeah just to talk... a nice lil friendly chat...
@@aestheticaesthetic5773 a friendly little chat with my fist
@@aminanoor8097 Precisely
sweet Linda I watched with my 11 year old girl who struggles with low self esteem. At the end she told me that she would like to have a friend like you because you understand. She also said that she is going to try and be as strong as you. She understands what you meen by being enough. May I thank you for your powerfull words, your bubbly personality, your recipes and your posts. Love your mum and dat. Keep it up girl. You have 2 big fans over here in Holland.
This made me cry because I am still on my journey to self-love , and hearing her remind me that I am enough was the happiest moment of my day/
When she said her best friend left her too... that really hit hard... that hit home, but you're not the only one linda
Yeah I felt that too
Same thing happened to me last year,I was in such a deep depression and unbearable loneliness I turned to food and self destruction In order to feel good about myself because she was the only friend I ever had,am recovering now and thanks to Linda am understanding it's ok to eat it's ok to smile it's ok to laugh away the pain and it's ok workout because I love my body so much that I want to improve and not because I want to look like everybody else🙂
@@sylviamwaka4890 you are so strong, thank you for sharing this. Just having linda as well as you all to relate to has made a world of difference to me ❤
Same lol, still hurts
20 years of life. 100 years of wisdom.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.
This video made me cry, because I realized how I never really aprecciated myself until this year. And I am so glad that I finally realized how important, strong, smart and beautiful person I am. Thank you for finding the right words in every single video and for reminding me that I am enough.
ok i can’t be the only one that cried like multiple times throughout the video😭❤️
Same
Lol under your comment someone said 'I cried multiple times during this video [etc...]'
Well...
I didn't cry BUT I feel waaaay better now!
... except for the fact that I want to start doing sport again but I always procrastinate, to be honest I feel a little bit disappointed with myself because I love doing sport (especially skating, sadly I've been forced to stop competitions due to physical problems) but I became too lazy in the last 5 (?) years and it doesn't matter how motivated I am (is it am I? Sorry I don't remember the right form), I don't move from the bed. I actually tried to workout but It lasted a couple days.. I even created some beautiful routines to follow after many searches and studies so I can be more organised but not too much so I won't stress about it (I'm a perfectionist, I need to plan things ahead or else I will feel bad) :')
Does someone have an advice for me? 🥺👉👈
Not you bullying your friend for the burnt cookies LMFAOOO he's literally the sweetest
ur story is so heartbreaking and inspiring. i never thought i’d be so proud of someone i’ve never met, but i am! thank you for being you! ❤️
Was not prepared to be crying today. Linda is such an inspiration to me and knowing that she's been through similar pains as I have is really comforting
I am literally crying. You are without a doubt the most talented, relatable, honest and valuable person I have ever come across. Your talent blows my mind! I have watched every video you have ever posted, and I can honestly say, you are the reason why I realized that I had to save me from myself. Listening to everything Lily Sabri said in the clip you inserted, made me so happy. It was so spot on and just beyond true, and you deserve so much acknowledgment for what you do. Somehow, you have not only found a way to love yourself and be proud of yourself, but also a way to inspire others to do the same. Words can't describe you. And I know I don't know you, and my comment most likely will be lost amongst a thousand of others, but I just want you to know that people like you, are a blessing to this mess of a world that we live in. So thank you so so so much Linda!
you're a blessing for expressing this so kindly and bravely here. I hope she'll read this and you're doing well and getting better
"Love doesn't hurt... that means I have literally never loved myself"... oof that really hit home🥺
it is beautiful to see this video when I'm turning 20, dealing with my body issues, my enoughness. Linda, this is such a heartwarming video, this is so brave to show us the ways you've passed. I want you to know that your self value can't be measured only with how you look but it can be measured with the way you smile, your beautiful relationship with your friends and family and how you treat people around you. Love you
This entire video has me in tears. Ty for your vulnerability, u make me want to believe in myself too. I love u endlessly linda
hey linda i can’t believe i’m this early i have watched every single one of your videos and you are one of my biggest inspirations i’m only 13 and you’ve helped me create such a healthy relationship with my body. happy birthday i wish you the best and keep doing what your doing xoxo lara
Mine too I'm also 13
Same! I wish ive found Linda earlier so i didnt have to recover. But, im happy i found Linda in november, so she helped me recover, she showed me the beauty of the world, and that there is so much beauty. And that its all worth it. Lets admit it, we all would have been lost without this wonderful girl
Same, but I'm 12. Thank you Linda and happy birthday!!🥳
I think Linda has helped all of us she’s changed my relationship with food I’ve always been a tight diet saying you’re not good enough for now if there’s A day I should work out and I don’t feel like it I just won’t and I don’t have a diet I eat what I want and I’ve never loved my body more
@@defnotcali im so so so proud of you < 3
everything linda said she went through when she was 13, that is literally my life at the moment. im the same age, with the same negative thoughts, but im trying to recover. maybe i will
I believe in you and I’m so proud of you! i know how hard it is but it’s worth it. You got this ❤️
I am as well. Good luck 🙂
This is literally a piece of art! Love you linda been here since may and it’s just crazy how much your channel has grown 💞🔥
WOW! Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable with us we love you so much!!!! I got literal chills because of how strong your words are! Thank you for motivating me to keep going in recovery
Linda imagine how many young boys/girls you saved from an unhealthy relationship with food, you should be so proud of yourself :)❤
Am I the only one who instantly starts smiling when I see that ✨Linda✨ posted a video?
Meee 😁
I start dancing 😂😂 her videos makes me day
You really spoke to my heart and soul and I admire you so much! You are so wise for your age and have such a bright personality. I'm 26 and still need to hear the words you're telling the younger versions of yourself. Thank you. You really are changing people's lives.
linda i’ve literally watched this video 4 times 😫. i can’t describe or thank you enough for spreading such a positive message and REAL content. you’re so beautiful and congrats on 500k ❤️
im literally 6yrs older than linda but i feel like she has way more mature mindset and i admire her for that lol
its horrible that she went through that when she was 4 years old. its horrible that not being skinny is considered “ugly”. what a shameful world we live in.
Linda's youtube is the Netflix I didn't know I needed. Thank you for being amazing
thank u so much for having this huge impact on my life, its exhausting to keep restricting myself to feel "happy"and you made me realise that i can feel fulfilled doing and eating what i love.
it takes a lot to come out and the fact that this girl is literally opening up to the whole entire world via her videos *and actually making impact on people(in a positive manner obv) is beyond everything , we just want you to know Linda that you are freaking precious*
🥺🥺 this means so much to me thank you ❤️
I totally understand the struggles of being a chunky kid. My family always made me feel like I was fat and no one should do that to a child😥
Linda, I am literally sobbing as I watch this video. I am 5 years older than you but you have taught me so much about loving myself. Thank you for putting these messages out there, you are helping so many people including me. I cannot wait to see how you and your channel will grow. Much love and sending good healing vibes to you and your family.
This is so inspirational, I have been struggling with an eating disorder for a while now, and you’re channel, and you’re words finally made me stop doing this to myself. I don’t think you know how many people you have truly helped. THANK YOU LINDA
I literally cried every 20 sec.
This video is crazy, and you, Linda, I swear you are incredible. Sometimes I feel ugly and I go back and forth your videos just to feel less alone. And it works every time. Because you’re true, because you are truly human, and you have the braveness to accept it.
Keep going, because that’s what you do, you help people. ❤️
Linda, you have no idea how big of an impact you made in people’s lives. This video hits close to home😭
Thank you for this, I always feel less alone when I watch your videos, it’s like you can see my inner thoughts, I was also overweight as a kid and even though I’ve lost a lot of weight I still struggle with not being “thin” enough or “ worthy” of love and acceptance. Even though I’m almost double your age you just have a way of getting me to see how to love myself and what matters in this world. Thank you so much ☺️
i just turned 16 n im so happy n grateful for finding linda last year, i relate to a lot of her past self, but these past year ive been in a healthier mindset with her videos, thank u for teaching me how to feel good in my skin n not feeling guilty bout what i just ate well gettin there !!
the impact that this woman has made on my life is astronomical
AAAAHHHHH AHHHHHH THAT WAS THE QUICKEST I CLICKED ON A NOTIFICATION LMAOOO
Sameee i just finished waytching it lol amazing as always
thank you linda, i am so proud of you growing. you have helped so many, and we are all grateful. thank you.
Linda, this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your realness and being your authentic self. You are well beyond your years and you're going to accomplish great things.
ok but why do I feel like a mom watching Linda’s baby pictures when we’re not even related-
Right??
We are not related and she's older than me LMAO
To anyone reading this: Be proud of who you are today and the person you’re becoming. What matters is that you’re trying 💕
happy birthday linda! just remember no matter what people say you are loved, you are strong, brave, smart and beautiful! Thank you for changing so many lives including mine!❤️
Its just so amazing and awe inspiring to hear your story!! Especially talking to your self, i cried tears of joy for your birthday celebration breaking the toxic cycle that put u through destruction, living in the moment and enjoying the company around others who loves u. Linda, you are strong, you are beautiful, and you are enough!😘
BRUH I'M LITERALLY DROOLING AT EVERY FOOD IN THIS VID. THE BOAR STEW. THE CHICKEN MASH POTATO. THE OTHER THING WHERE SHE TOOK OUT THE CARROTS. THE CHEESECAKE. ahh so hungry now hehehehe
" at age 6 I already knew I wasn't beautiful "😥💔 This made me feel so deeply for anyone who ever felt this. Linda is a perfect Linda🤗
Girl you don’t realise how many people you’re helping, you’ve helped change my mindset towards food and exercise which is something I thought id never have a healthy mindset towards, thank you and keep doing what ur doing 💗💗💗
all i wanna say is, 'thank you'. thank you so much for this. i needed this. also, i admire you so so much. this is the first whole video I've seen on your channel and I'm so grateful that I've discovered your channel. and even though this is the first content I've seen of you, i feel a sense of pride and happiness while watching this video, I'm just so happy that you found yourself. and again, thank you.

Hi can you plz read this comment?
Ok so if ur still reading........
I’m Janine a 12 year old girl with a dream. My dream is to have CZcams as a career And I’m so close to 2,140 subscribers ........ I’ve worked so hard on my channel and all I ask is if you can at least check my channel out and subscribe. You don’t have to, I just wanna make my grandfather that is in heaven proud. I hope your well and staying healthy. Have a great day!!! 😊God bless! ✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️
@@darlene_janine i think you have to work for it, not ask for it
@@darlene_janine Girl work for it. These things won't just happen on their own. You have a great day as well, though.
Linda is the best. I caught myself saying “wow Id love to be stronger” rather than saying “wow I wish I was skinner” a few days ago and it took me a few seconds to realize how my mindset had radically changed. Thank you Linda!
I don’t think I can calculate, or even express how much watching Linda’s videos have helped me with my eating problems. Whenever I’m struggling I try to think what Linda would say, and that always leads me to the healthiest, happiest decision. 💗
The most incredible and marvelous video I've ever seen in my whole life. Thank you Linda, cause since I found you last year, you became my favorite youtuber, you're such a light, as Lilly said, you're such an inspiration and you don't even know how much you're changing people's lives. Greetings from Colombia
Let’s just appreciate Linda doing everything she can to help the community stronger !! And make ppl life a better place ;( !
❤️
So truuuuee! 🙌🏼 I know Linda inspired so many people to be healthier and stronger, me included, but she also inspired me to stop being scared all the time and to upload my first YT video about my recovery journey! 💖 (I am still scared AF lol)
I cannot express in words how proud I am of you Linda. You are 20 years old, so young and so smart. You went through a lot, and though it may sound to you that it took you 20 years to realize your self worth, it takes others so much more because we are all in our different paths, and yours is so empowering, you not only helped yourself, but in the process you helped more than 500 thousand people who were inspired by your realistic videos. My words may mean little to you cause you don’t know me, but just know that all of us are incredibly proud of you and grateful to have found you♥️
Please don't ever change! You are such an inspiration ❤️
Linda thank you...thank you for coming onto CZcams. You are an inspiration to me. I started to tear up watching this because this is how I feel right now. If I told the people I loved the things I told myself their hearts would break. Why don’t I love myself? Why do I think of myself the way I do? These are thoughts I struggle with but watching you gives me hope. So thank you. Thank you.
The fact that you went through so much and overcame the obstacles is sooooooo inspirational . Thank you.
Thank you 🥺❤️
Omg hi I’m so happy I found your channel it’s like somthing that just said GO WATCH HER SHES AMAZING so I did and I love food and you helped me so much :)
If you're broken you do not have to stay broken ♥ (Selena Gomez said it and I remember ❤)
Me realizing that the summer of 7th grade was when everything went downhill for me too :)
I hope you'll stay on the right track and get better and save
Me too omg I suddenly started gaining so much more after 7th grade 😭
Same here... and somehow this year was the one for me too when things started getting better. I hope it got or it gets better for you too!
Omg me too, wait, i am not the one one ???😳
I've always been overweight, but it was 7th grade that I went downhill emotionally and my anxiety went 📈😥
I'm so happy seeing people that are genuinely happy. it's like they're doing it for me since I can't do it for myself. I wish someday I'll be able to have that mindset of yours linda, ily
happy birthday Linda! thank you for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel and being the comfort videos I go to on the darker days. I look forward to watching you every week and I hope you know how much you have impacted so many teen girls like me.
In a world so overwhelming and fast-paced, I'm so glad I have a safe space with you :")
Happy belated birthday.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ tysm
Wow. At first, I found this channel and loved how she was so creative and exercised with her family everyday. But I never knew how complicated her life was until now. Of course mine wasn’t as difficult but similar enough to relate to all the negativity. Ever sine the beginning of 2020 when I saw my first video of hers, I was instantly inspired and glad that there is someone else out there just like me. That having all those thoughts about my body didn’t make me crazy, just another person with fog hiding there golden brick road... I’m so glad this exists for the world to see. Thank you
I'm literally crying! I'm turning 20 in a few weeks as well and seeing how in going through struggles you're never alone. I feel really connected to your story because you're a fellow Canadian, represent my Asian culture, and have gone through really similar things to me. Thank you so much for sharing because I don't feel as alone in the world!
i can’t express how much i love you. you’re amazing Linda! you’re literally my best friend 💕
When Linda said her message for her 15 year old self I felt like she was talking to me I just turned 15 and tears of love escaped my eyes when she said it. Happy Birthday to us Linda!! ily
Awww, same tho, cuz I'm also 15 and on a weight loss journey. I've been pretty disheartened these past couple of days cuz I gained 0.6 kg back this week and idk... it's just really frustrating
same lol i turned 14 near the end of nov and what she was saying hit hardd
