They become a bit embarrassing when you are with your mate...although he says hes not paying attention, I think he is...can they be hidden some way?
Not in my opinion...maybe with lingerie? They are just life scars....no big deal. My are not small either but I accept how I got them and the only time they really may bug me is when I'm in a bathing suit.....but everybody has something.
I'm bothered by them. I first got them in my 20"s when I lost a lot of weight. Then I got more when I got pregnant with our daughter. I hate them! Ugh!
I am very much concerned about stretch marks because I have stretch marks in areas that are visible when wearing sleeveless, tank tops or low-cut shirts. It's really an embarrassing thing for me and I would prefer not to have them. I would love to share successful remedies and or solutions with others of how to lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
I have them all over my belly due to having two children. I was so bummed because both my mom and sister didn't get them with their pregnancies. I kept well hydrated and put lotion on every day and I still got them. I just had my second daughter 4 months ago and am working on loosing the belly fat but I don't think I'll ever wear a bikini due to the ugly stretch marks.
Yes I am I have them all over my arms and I never were short leave shirts or tank tops. Ugh....
I believe stretch marks are part of living. No one is perfect and we all have our flaws they mark all of us unique.
Hey...they're just a fact of life.
Stretch marks sometimes make me feel very self conscious, but I have found a few ways to rid them, and give me a lot more confidence. I've tried the "special" lotions, gels, creams, body wraps, etc. but the stretch marks didn't improve much. Exercising was/is the most effective way to lessen the appearance of stretch marks and tightened the skin as well. I took pictures of myself through this entire process. If you look at the "after" photo, you would never believe that the person in the "before" photo was me :)
I didn't get a ton with either of my kids, but I am ok with having them. They remind me everyday of how wonderful my kids are.
