Angel Deborah

Doesn’t life seem a little incomplete without an impossible dream? Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated with the women who modeled lingerie; the more daring and risqué the piece, the more powerful and confident the model looked. The internet introduced me to Victoria’s Secret and its Angels. 

These women looked nothing like other models who came across as nutrition deprived teenagers with a perpetually constipated look. Victoria’s Secret Angels were healthy, powerful, confident and happy! These women flaunted superhero abs and muscular thighs. These women looked strong.

I longed to join their ranks and even practiced Mirnada Kerr's signature slow blink in front of the mirror.

At 157 cms, I’m vertically challenged. And while I have the exact same measurements as some of the highest paid ramp scorchers, I look curvier due to my short height. But, I’m not just into impossible dreams; I’m also shamelessly determined about making them come true. 

So my resolution for 2016 is to get myself the body of an angel proportional to my height. If this means losing a few pounds I’ll do it the healthy way. I’ve been researching the workout regime of models like Giselle Bundchen, Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanpoel and I intend to follow in their footsteps this year. I won’t crash diet and I won’t lift weights. I will achieve my dream body with free-style workouts. I know many of these models workout for as long as four hours everyday. I’ll try to clock at least two hours a day. I’ve always been a careful eater, but I will try to divide my food intake into smaller and more frequent meals to increase my metabolism.

If all goes well, I will reward myself by getting my own Victoria’s Secret lingerie for Christmas. I’ll wear and walk down the entire length of my house with happy music playing and my cat cheering for me. Yup, I got big plans for 2016!
