    FYI:

    I’m aware that VS angels aren’t a realistic goal for most people, and I don’t post pictures of them to try and give people those unrealistic goals. Mostly because I love VS and I think they’re generally good role models for their overall confidence. (Body confidence included!) Some of you may say something along the lines of, “They’re thin, of course they’re going to be confident about their bodies.” But a naturally thin person like me could see curvy girls and think, “She’s curvy, of course she’s gonna be confident about how womanly she looks.”

    The only complaint I have when it comes to VS is the fact that their models are all a similar size. I think it would be fantastic to have “plus size” models, as well. (Because in fashion plus size is a size 6, ironically.) For me, getting a physique similar to theirs isn’t so unrealistic, just because I’m a natural size 0, so that’s probably why I never see it as a problem when I post pictures of them. So I apologize for that.

    Whatever you do, never make goals of having someone else’s body. You’ll never have any other body but your own. If you’d like to get results similar to someone else (such as getting a six pack) that’s fine. I think it all depends on how you construct your goals.
