Embrace Your Stripes!

I used to hate them but now I embrace them

I came across this blog because - since the birth of my baby and now 11 months postpartum I’m always (and I mean ALWAYS) googling pictures of stretch marks and reading other women’s feelings towards their stretch marks. I’m not quite sure what it is I’m looking to find but I think with the media bombarding us with “perfect women” (yeah I know no such thing exists), I really just want to feel like I’m not alone. This blog has made me feel like I’m not alone and it’s easier to accept the changes that have come with motherhood knowing that there’s many others who’ve experienced the same! P.s thank you for this xx

Just remember -- You are never alone. xo

Thank you so much dear, it really means a lot. xo

Stretch marks from weight gain and instant weight loss

Im 21 and i got these from my pregnancy and i totally hate everything about them if stretch marks were a person id kill them 😞😞😔🙈

5/6 I've started to develop stretch marks when I was around 12 years old. I've never been obese but I've struggled with my weight as long as I can remember. if I gain 5 kg I'll get new ones. I've got them on my boobs, hips, lower back, front and inner thighs down to behind my knees and calves. I'm in my late 20`s and I still cannot accept them. I was never pregnant, I was never obese, average height. Just shitty genes I guess. I'm very insecure because of them. they look worse in reality because I'm literally covered in them. I hate the ones on my calves/behind my knees and boobs most. Because of them I don't wear skirts or low cut shirts. And yes, other people do notice them! My close friends once were talking about a girls stretch marks on her boobs and how nasty it looked. I've never showed them mine....6 I've started to develop stretch marks when I was around 12 years old.
