Stretchmarks

I got em on my belly (and love handles) from 2 pregnancy on a very small frame

I have some on my tummy, and Ive never been pregnant. But Im starting to accept me in my entirety. Just because Im not a stick doesnt mean SQUAT!! Lol. I happened to read a wonderful poem at FB the other day, I cant remember the author but to sum up the piece, it went something like, "Dont you know what my body does? It survives on its own, it fights, it moves, all without Me, without acceptance, without kindness to it. The negative thoughts it hears within, "not enough". " that was just a bit of the poem, not verbatim but pretty close. It had a few more stanzas but I liked it...we need to love our WHOLE selves. No matter how it looks...its a magical thing.

A lot of body builders get stretch marks, bio oil will help reduce their appearance.

I think a lot of people get them. Did you grow fast as a kid? It can happen from puberty or as you grow muscle there. My son has them on his shoulders as well.

Who doesn't have stretch marks? They're normal.

Also, that beard tho

More people have them and are accepting of them than we realise.

I’ve had stretch marks on my thighs, calves and backs of my knees since I was a teenager. They always made me extremely self conscious. Now that I’m older I have them on my stomach, arms and shoulders too. At this point I just chalk it up to being human.

I call it marbled effect and I have them at multiple places on my body. Even my calves.

I have them on my tits and thighs. It's normal
