Ladies, hold on to your self-confidence.

Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel showed off her skinny, svelte stomach in a gratuitous preshow Instagram shot.

"Two days left till the #Vsfashionshow rrraaauuwwwr" the 24-year-old South African model tweeted. In her self-taken pic, Candice wears only low-riding sweatpants and a sports bra, drawing attention to her concave tummy and protruding hip bones.

Comments on the photo ranged from appreciative—"You're perfect…I wish I could be you"—to concerned—"Someone get this girl a sandwich quick."

This isn't the first time Swanepoel's thin figure has come under fire. She explained her weight loss to ABCNews.com back in 2011, saying her "problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy."

"I get skinnier if I'm very busy," she said. "I've been eating steak and everything, so I'm actually looking forward to eating some lighter food after this."
