      i feel like she is using those thumbnails to sort of "lure" the most desperate people about losing weight and thier body changing but she actually talks about self love and intuitive eating to the most "desperate audience" if that makes sense or at least thats the way she helped me. I really wanted to change my body and was looking at different youtube videos to diet/change my weight and lindas thumbnails caught my attention which basically saved my life :)) hope this helps my view on her thumbnails!!.

    I am 13 years old and during lockdown I was working out 2, 3, even 4 times a day. I thought I was happy. I convinced myself that I was. But honestly, I wasn’t. I stopped working out for about 3 and a half months and my mental health improved, by a lot. Then I starting working out again and it all went downhill. I was back where I started. Then I found Linda. Her videos helped me so much and completely changed my perspective on working out. I was actually happy when I was working out smiling the entire time. Then I was slowly introduced to Caroline Girvan. Now I workout to become stronger not to burn calories. And it feels… amazing.

    it was such a huge weight off my shoulders when I stopped exercising back this summer. i no longer wanted to try to uphold a certain fit physique and i didn't want to be a crazed fitness guru, I just wanted to feel "normal" like my other friends at 21. Who, if they workout-great, and if they don't-great. There was no inner worth or identity attached. And I knew I needed to just stop altogether. And my body & mind loved it. My body didn't feel so swollen or bloated anymore, I felt like I had so much more time on my hands and could actually go 2 days without washing my hair, etc etc. The world is your oyster, don't fear the uncomfortable

    When you feel the urge to compulsively exercise , here are a few ideas !
    - paint toenails / fingernails - don’t let that beautiful polish get smudged going burpies ! Wait for it to dry then see if the urge is as bad
    - arrange your desk or tidy (your brain will think it’s moving around and exercising - plus it’s just as /if not more productive)
    - bake something - or if you’re too scared too / broke to you can try making slime or something. You can’t focus on squatting if you’re mixing something!
    Just a few tips , if they don’t work that’s fine . Remember if it feels like it’s hurting / making you feel unhappy try not to do it to yourself ❤︎☻︎

    This is exactly what I needed. I’ve been a dancer my whole life so I was always used to being very active nearly every day because of dance, so I didn’t really stress if I didn’t get in an extra workout at the gym before class because class was still exercise. And dance always has and still does make my me feel good, physically and emotionally. But this was my first semester at uni out of state and it was a huge transition for me and I wasn’t able to dance nearly as much as I have my whole life. That’s when I realized I have a problem because I started forcing myself to wake up at 5am so that I could workout for at LEAST 3 hours before I started school work or had to go to lecture, and I’d try to workout more at night before bed. That combined with my recent ED relapse is a recipe for disaster. Even on winter break now I’ve still be waking up however early I have to to ensure I can at least get in a cardio session and 90min power yoga because I get so anxious if I miss a workout. The only way my body can force me to rest is by getting too sick to be able to workout, which is what it has decided to do now. I’d love to say that I plan to include rest days when I’m over this, but I know myself and I still don’t feel like I’m in a place to be able to put in the effort to recover from this ed relapse/exercise addiction so it is what it is I guess.

    When I was in intensive inpatient treatment (three times) I exercised in my room and in the bathroom and everytime I had a pass. Same when I was in the psych ward being held for a month on a form one because I was a danger to myself. Clearly. Yes, exercise addiction is a real thing

  • @Evelyn-fw4mp
    @Evelyn-fw4mp 2 года назад +6

    i’ve been forced to rest a lot and modify my routine for the past three months because i developed a condition called osgood-schlatters disease in both of my knees. i can no longer jump, squat, crouch, sit, walk, or bend my knees without being in extreme pain from my patellar tendons, so obviously i’ve had to stop doing any lower-body activity (lifting, hiking, etc). it’s been really hard, but i’m also so grateful for the opportunity to focus on other forms of movement, focus on rest, and focus on healing. i think it’s made me much stronger mentally and taught me to not restrict during rest periods. while health is so important, it doesn’t always have to look like doing the same workouts every day- sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is rest and recover, ESPECIALLY if you’re not doing well physically or mentally. love you all and please don’t be afraid of rest.

    Thank you. I herniated my disc this year due to exercise addiction. I also thought progressive overload was something I needed to focus on. Instead I now have to deal with $3k in med bills after insurance to recover (I’m in the US). I haven’t exercised besides physical therapy. Instead I’ve just been focusing on eating better and I would say others have told me they’ve seen better results (good skin and slight weight loss).

    take this as constructive criticism- your videos get quite overwhelming with constant videos and voiceover playing that are quite unrelated, it's like I'm watching you eat and try to see what you are eating or doing but at the same time you are speaking about your journey of exercising addiction, to some extent I understand that it shows how you have improved on your addiction but as a viewer, I stay confused on what do I want to focus on, maybe it's just me who has a problem taking in information like that, anyways loved watching what you ate in a week, did not hear a single thing about your journey to overcome your addiction tho

Since then I have been so calorie conscious and I i don’t like it. But I cannot stop it either. After eating I would feel guilty. And if I miss working out, I would regret regret regret. It has been really tough for me to love myself. I hope I get there soon.

    It is crazy how much I feel like I relate to you, Linda! I always find it so hard to find the words to describe my past (and current) relationships with nutrition and exercise, but I completely understand what you have gone through. I don’t think that my exercise/energy-burning addiction or my Orthorexia/Anorexia will ever totally leave, but I am at peace with that because I know that I am in a much healthier place now than I have been in the past seven years (or maybe even in my entire nineteen years of living). I still have a lot of negative body image days, but you continue to help me see what true beauty and true strength looks like (and that it looks different for everyone). Thank you, Linda!🤍

    I work out four days a week, but I’m sometimes really hard on myself and don’t allow myself to miss days without making them up. I’ve allowed the week of my period to be my one week a month (or every other month, mine aren’t regular lol), that I don’t exercise. It kind of just allows me to sit back, and realize that I deserve a break sometimes. To remember that my body does other cool things other than look really good with exercise.

    watching your video is quite inspiring. Because I didn't know when to start my exercise, where to begin. not that I don't like exercise, is just that I need to find a way to start exercising, to start on an exercise that I like. Where I can have a long lasting habit.

    I started working out 4 years ago and i am not doing it anymore. I have not been able to figure out the relationship i have with my body. I want to work out to look good but i remember what kept me going, the enjoyment, which is not there anymore. I don't know how to start working out again, how to go on, maintain the consistency or even enjoy my workouts.

    I am glad you talked about it. It always seemed to be a little bit much of excercising for me and a little bit much focus on food. I quit following you because even if you deliver a really positive mindest of excercising and food the extreme focus you had on the two topics felt toxic to me and to be honest I am a really stable Person when it comes to these topics so I can't imagine how other people would feel. I am glad you are feeling well and wish you all the best.💞

    I’m currently about a month into my ED recovery (for a second time in my life). I didn’t realize how bad my exercise addiction got until i recently developed a stress fracture, tried taking a single rest day (where i didn’t actually rest, but just didn’t exercise nearly as much as most days) and it created sooooo much anxiety, anger and depression in myself. I’m proud of myself for trying but it seems impossible to even imagine taking a rest day. The fear of doing so is intense. And i know i need to rest (if for no other reason than having a stress fracture), but i just feel like i can’t. I genuinely love and enjoy exercising and making well balanced tasty meals. But I’ve become so addicted it’s hurting me. Proves that too much of a good thing isn’t healthy either. Your video is motivating me to attempt another rest day soon! The only way to overcome anxiety is to do the thing you’re anxious about, so i know i have to do it!

    you're literally describing what i'm going through right now, i thought i was alone. every single day, i wake up at 5 and workout and then go for a run and then come back and workout and then go for a run - back and forth back and forth all day long - I no longer own a desk chair, and even when i stand and do work, i can't for more than an hour. the exercises i do are no longer even challenging, just time consuming and tedious. i mean honestly how much is my body going to change if i don't do 30 seconds of bodyweight calf raises or arm circles? i wish i could stop and i want to but as soon as i consider stopping, it's like all that 'justification' i have for the amount that i eat (which is a lot) goes away. i'm hoping i can be more like you in the future, tysm for sharing ur story

    • @x3iShopx3
      @x3iShopx3 2 года назад +5

      If it’s any consolation body weight exercises similar to arm circles don’t really do anything for aesthetics and calf raises or whatever aren’t going to burn many calories. Obviously you should tackle the mental aspect that’s the root of the issue but for aesthetics even 45 mins of weight training like 3x a week would accomplish more and save you a hell of a lot of tiem

    • @EmbodyYourDivinity
      @EmbodyYourDivinity 2 года назад

      Gosh I so relate to this. I used to exercise out of control to make up for how much food I ate. It was an insane cycle that kept me in a rigid, obsessive loop for years. I didn't WANT to stop for a long time so not sure if you are at a place where you want to get free from all of this or not, but I just want you to know that you can get free from this. ❤

    Just turned 16 and have been exercising since I was 13 years 9 months maybe and haven't been able to skip extra days other than designated rest days. This gives hope to be honest. Everything that you are saying through the video about exercise and study, not being able to sit still and just not having the option to skip is making me feel that it's just not me? It was SO difficult to hold back when I got covid and I still mostly didn't. That was the first time in 1.5 years I took a 1+ day rest in a week except when I was forced to by my sister.

      I went to something similar last week, got really sick and still went to the gym and morning runs, but as expected i woke up so damn sicker and had to stay home resting, i could only think about the exercises i should be doing instead of reasting. Maybe one day it will pass and we will have a better relationship with exercising.

    "I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." -Philippians 4:11-13

    I’ve started working out since 28 Sept til now, i went from hating work out to loving it ‘cause i don’t put too much pressure on myselft. I have lots of cheatmeat a week but which make me comfortable and that’s ok. And guys, it still have good result, my waist goes from 69 to 66. So, follow the discipline, but don’t be so hard on yourself, you can still rest a day when feeling exhausted, just get back on track in the day after. You can still have a cheatmeal, but remember to counting how much calories of rest meals in a day.
    i also cut off all the movements make me stressful and painful like burpee, all kind of lunges and stading abductor. Just try out and find what the most suitable for you. You still can play some sports instead of work out tho.
    Pamela rif, Chloe ting is too harsh, and also boring a bit for me so i prefer Madfit.
