I remembered when I discovered my first stretch mark appearing on my tummy while I was pregnant. I cried like a baby. After I gave birth to my son and my stomach was covered with stretch marks, plus I was left with a gut, and had a lovely c-section scar to match. I went into deep depression. I thought my body was ruined and I thought my man thought I was ugly. I was a model and a dancer before I got pregnant, and my body was almost perfect (I had a stretch mark here and there, but it was no big deal). Now I look back and realize how stupid I was. Society has put this label out there that stretch marks are ugly, giving birth ruins your body, you're supposed to be skinny after having a baby, and so on and so forth. It's terrible. If anything, I should of embraced my stretch marks and new body. I should of known I was beautiful. I wish someone would of been there to slam that in my head at the time. After all, I carried a healthy baby boy for 9 months without any real huge complication. Nowadays I wear my stretch marks a lot better. They've become apart of who I am. They're a lot lighter now (still noticeable), my stomach is flatter, and I'm down to 115 lbs. I have my moments of sadness still, but I snap out of it pretty damn quick.
Anyways what I'm trying to say is...Ladies, wear your bikinis proudly this summer and show off those marks (and the floppy tits, and baby gut, if you still have it). You did something miraculous..Whether you had a baby, or lost or gained a ton of weight, or whatever. Who gives a fuck what anyone wants to think? We're all hot.
