I gotta say, this probably says something for her character.

This broke my heart; sadly, this is actually a very common mindset amongst young girls.

Indeed, eating disorders and poor self-esteem are all too widespread. I'm glad that model recognizes that and is willing to do what's necessary to help the girl (I assume her daughter?).

Good for her and what a powerful and positive message. The interesting thing is, VS models are known for their curves, unlike couture models that are known for their skin and bones.
