what someone with a “normal” body eats in a week | how I feel good in my body + stopped overeating

I’m 56…when I was a teenager, a friend’s mom referred to my thighs as elephant trunks…fast forward to now and I thank God that I was blessed with strong, athletic legs that enabled me to play sports all my life, run for 25 years and continue to hike mountains across the world. My piece of advice…don’t let anyone define who you are or control your mind.

you have no idea how much i needed this video. something bad and scary happened over the weekend and i've really been heading towards relapsing because of it. staying strong was becoming impossible, but this video came as the perfect reminder to never go back down that path of misery. what you do is incredible, linda, and we as your supporters can never thank you enough ❤️

Girl I can’t thank you enough for making this, I’m a 14 yr old girl and you are such a massive help of knocking me out of a toxic cycle

Hi Linda! I'm usually not a commenter but I really wanted to thank you for your content. I've just committed to full recovery from my own food issues and one of my biggest inspirations to get better was you. Sharing all the love from a fellow peanut butter enthusiast <3 <3 <3

I needed this video. As a Muslim, when someone does something good for me, I pray for them sincerely. Here is my prayer for you. May God bless you. May you find joy and fulfillment. May good friends surround you and love you every day. May all your worries and insecurities fade away like dust blowing off with the wind. May you continue to find the strength it takes to make such content with such beautiful messaging. I NEEDED this Linda. Thank you. Thank you Thank you for making this video. Thank you for existing. I have been living through a VERY hard time in my life over the past few month. It's been challenging every which way. And to make it worse, parts of my body are injured. And parts are sick. And I keep trying my best everyday to keep going. But it has been HARD. Mentally. PHYSICALLY. It is a difficult time. Some of the things you said in this video resonated so much with me. By the end of the video, I'm bawling. Thank you for making this video, and all your other work. Thank you for being vulnerable. Your work and presence on this Earth is loved and needed by SO many right now. May you always be at peace. Ameen

Linda I find it amazing how you are able to take all our thoughts and actually verbalize it to us to help us see how ridiculous our insecurities and worries may actually seem

if only there are more of Linda out in the world to spread the correct message

I love how you and your mom make the same facial expressions when eating yummy food. It's sooo cute!

my brainy has been so cloudy and sad and not very kind to me lately. i tried to tell myself that im doing fine. that there is nothing wrong with my body. that there is nothing wrong with eating and enjoying food. that their body is not better than mine. but its been hard! so rewatching this has been helpful ❤ sometimes i just need to hear someone else’s voice telling me that hey, you’re doing just fine.

I’ve been suffering from an eating disorder for months now and this video girl… it’s a pearl ❤ thank you for what you do, your kindness and your love.

this video made me cry, thank you so much for making it! I think a lot of people need to hear this and its so nice that you say these things to counteract the other videos

the wanting to be a better person rather than a better body hit. i’ve been in a weird state with myself because of life so sometimes it’s so hard to accept me for me. but that line right there reframed what i should really be focusing on. thank you for being able to verbalize what a lot of us feel!

Your videos make my day Linda. Im a teen girl and the things you say in this video are really relatable. Thanks for spreading so much positivity. you make me feel so much better about my self.

Just watching this video once has helped me so much. I’ve dealt with body image issues, a bad relationship with food, and body dysmorphia since elementary school, and I’ve never really thought of my body like what you said. I’m literally crying this video is so so so amazing and I will definitely come back to it when I’m feeling bad about my body

You’re amazing, Linda! This is exactly the kind of content we need MORE of on social media which is otherwise filled with fabricated and unattainable bodies. Thank you for being so transparent about your experience and for uplifting others! 🥰

I feel so inspired and motivated watching your videos. I have been struggling with the way I look since forever. It seems like we are all in this together. Let's love and care for our bodies!!!

I just found this channel a couple days ago, and it's already helped so much! I feel normal for being hungry and eating! You make me so motivated to go and make food and eat something I really want to eat. Thank you so much for spreading this information! I know it helps so many people!

wow your point about physical, mental, emotional hunger is so so true. I never thought about breaking up hunger like that. And thank you for reframing stillness as healing, not laziness. I’ve found myself being still a lot lately, and judging myself for it but perhaps my body was just recharging.

I'm so glad she put the recipes in the description bc everything looked sooo good! I rlly needed to hear all of that so tysm Linda!!

Thank you for all your videos! I'm very grateful to have found you. I've suffered with ED for almost 10 years now but just recently started to recover fully and I know watching your videos played a huge part in it. I've cried so many times watching you just because of how happy I am that there is someone like you out there. Thank you, Linda!
