[@chrissymoss514]

I'm so very happy that you've found this "niche". You're, literally, the only person on YT who makes vids dedicated to uncovering the ridiculously harmful lies being portrayed in the media. Every single female (and some males) need to watch your vids. I believe lives could have been and will be saved because you have shone a much needed light on "reality versus photoshopped pics". Love your guts 💗💗💗💗💗💗 PS : I hope the bigwigs of YT don't remove this vid - it's so more than just a vid, it's a very essential vid. I also hope they don't demonitise it - I watched every advert to support you and your fantastic channel.

[@timeless9820]

You mean every single woman AND every single man NEED to watch this. Many men have this idea that they must be perfect even if they are natural slim, they think they must be spotless while men can be anything or have dads body and some women support and enforce the idea that it is better than a muscular. People can have preferences but a healthy and normal body with imperfections is how we should tell everyone that is natural. Society is trying to assimilate drawings and art with the human body. If plastic surgery and the risk of going g thru that would be minimal or non existence, I would understand it, but our technology is not even there but this idea is being pushed so those in the top can gain money

[@Aster_Risk]

@@timeless9820 The channel mainly looks at women since wrinkles, cellulite, hair and skin texture are forbidden from being shown on real women's bodies in most media. There are many examples of men being allowed to have wrinkles, hair, skin texture and scars because it's seen as attractive. Men are allowed to be rugged and harsh in appearance. These videos aren't going to have the same effect on men or masculine people, which would be why this person said some men.

[@CeeRad83]

And she does it not to shame these incredibly gorgeous people, but to remind us "mere mortals" that we are no less beautiful because we can't walk through life with an Instagram filter "fixing" all of our "flaws."

Stephanie, you are probably not going to read this but you helped me improve my body confidence. From the age of 6 till now I have been made fun of for how round and chubby I looked. It got to the the pointe where I could not even look at a mirror because I was so insecure. I used to avoids mirrors at all cast so I wouldn’t feel too bad. I wanted to look like those models on those magazines so bad because they looked like they were living their best life by being thin and I thought being thin was the solution to every problem in my life. No one has ever given me confidence in my own body. But you!!! You Stephanie had changed my perspective so much. I can proudly say that I am more confident than ever before.

Your videos helped me realize that i can’t fight anatomy 😅 everything I was insecure about (still am a little but working on it) and wanted to change was just my anatomy and bone structure (reproductive organs, hip dips , intestines etc).

My organs need to go somewhere and be protected … and my bone structure is natural and can’t be altered… facts that have saved my soul.

[@iwantabiscuitplz]

I heard the best line from a woman who was talking about her looks: "I'm not for everyone... but... I wouldn't change :)."

One huge thing we should remember is that many VS models DEHYDRATE themselves before the fashion show to look even skinnier. Obviously that is unhealthy and not something they do in their everyday life. That is one reason for big differences between pics

I remember when I was studying (and also training, of course) to become a personal trainer and, in addition, doing my everyday cycling training (as a hobby) I reached the "body goal" point of having *A 4% OF BODY FAT* which is extremely below the ideal percentage of body fat for a female and guess what? I still had cellulite.

Now i work out but not to look "perfect" but instead to be healthy and battle my asthma. i love you bro

[@HikariNyappy]

Thank you :') I've struggled all my life with self image, I just always feel I'm not good enough, it's impossible not to compare yourself with all the people you think is beautiful, it's nice and I'm so thankful for you reminding us they're humans too and do not look perfect all the time, why should I expect that from myself? Thank you again❤️ helps a lot.

I absolutely love that while watching your videos not only I get entertained but I also feel like I’m doing a lot for my self love ❤️🥺

this is like... the most helpful video I've seen in a long time-and I watch a ton of educational content. just putting stuff like this out for BOTH men and women and everyone in general to see... it's so important. thank you

[@thisiselks]

I truly cannot describe how helpful your videos have been for my perception of my body. I’ve realised my body is just trying to keep me alive- how could there be anything wrong with it for doing that? It doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s got organs working together to keep me alive and kicking! I look like a HUMAN WOMAN!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos, thanks to you i have accepted my cellulite, it is so hard with social media to accept ourselves (i'm sorry for the mistakes, i'm French 😇). you change the vision that i got of myself 💟

[@stephanielange]

I used to be a life model for art classes and I did that for almost a decade and it really got me in touch with how real women's bodies looked and how beautiful we are. I spent my teens paranoid about having big boobs, long gangly legs and a very defined jaw, I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb, but it turns out those exaggerated features are perfect for life modelling lol I love your videos they are so uplifting and inspirational thank you x

[@angelamoore9804]

I just love watching your videos. I love how real you are and how well you break things down. Thank you for being you.

[@lydiaschulz1439]

Thank you for for your videos. I really don't know wtf is KZbins problem with bodies...

[@stephanielange]

They just age restricted another of my videos last night 😤 it’s maddening!

[@roberta6918]

I love all your videos. You don't even know how much you've helped me with my BDD. Still struggling - and probably it's a never-ending fight with my own mind - but I'm doing way better. Thank you so much for all you do to make people all around the world feel better about themselves 🖤

It’s amazing what proportions do for photographs. I wish most women understood how tall most “lean looking” women are - or how short “muscular” men are. It’s all proportions and angles bby

A little bit about me, i am recovered ED'd and all though i am in the recovery part of my journey, that doesn't mean i don't have intrusive thoughts. These videos really help me. They remind me that these thoughts are lying to me, that i am just a human and so are super models! It kind of feels like that reality check i need to stay on track bc its so easy to get caught up in the lies on instagram or where ever else on the internet and believe THAT is reality when it isn't! Thank you so much Stephanie for creating this series and for making these videos. Keep fighting the good fight bc you are helping so many people! 💕💕
