I am always seeing people complaining about their stretch marks. That they are ugly, or how can they get rid of them, or what exercises will decrease their appearance, or what creams can be used to prevent them, etc....

I say you should be PROUD of your stretch marks!
Stretch marks are PROOF that you are smaller than you were before.
They are VISIBLE proof of all the PROGRESS you have made and that your hard work is paying off.
You should be EMBRACING your new body, not hating it because of some silly lines!
Wear your stretch marks with pride!

    I don't like my stretch marks, but I accept them. I got them from being so large and from pregnancy too. They are just part of me. They have lightened up over the years and don't even bother me anymore.
