Thread: Ugh I hate Stretch Marks! Help?

I've got stretch marks on my butt, thighs, hips & a couple on my boobs.
My husband has never cared.

So, don't stress...the right type of man won't mind.

good luck

I got stretchmarks from that growth spurt too - on my thighs.
I got a few more from my baby, and kinda on the back of my knees and my breasts... and my hips/tummy.

I know I used to think 'eurgh my legs are like this' and 'my bum is like that' but in actual fact, there's nothing wrong with it.
I've learnt to accept it the wy it is - I think it's because I've realised that not everyone is perfect. It really helps when you see pictures of how people have made celebrities look amazing from just photomanipulation. When you see how they really look, you know how hard it is to actually look 'perfect'.

And I honestly think guys don't care about those kinds of things
haha I was feeling self concious a little while ago because my breasts were getting smaller (I onlt had my daughter a few months ago) and my male friend said 'well as long as you've got that's all that matters'

I don't know how to pass on what I've learnt about myself, it's easy enough to say 'love your body' but... I doubt that will get my message across lol

I do think the stretch marks are hideous though... my mum gave me some bio oil and I been putting a few drops in my bath now and then (I think it says you can on the bttle) and so far so good. Before they were very pink/red, but now they almost match my skin colour (the marks on my belly/hips). I think stretch marks ar scar tissue so I don't know if they'll ever actually be able to be removed, so the texture of them will probably stay the same (some of them look kinda wrinkled?)

Heh, I always end up rambling in these things!

Sorry I just re-read my post sorry I didn't before I posted >< but I meant that my daughter gave me more on my thighs (they were pretty ugly ;P)

I missed out a few words, sorry about that everyone!
