    I have a lot of them too. My lower stomach has some, but My upper arms have them the worst. I lost a lot of weight in the past (and gained some back, but not all), and they are now white/silver. Forever I have HATED them. So much so that I would never (ever) wear a tank top. When I got thin, they were still there, but hidden and waaaaaaay less noticeable. As I gained weight back after my daughter was born, my arms got bigger again and they are more noticeable.
    I live in Nevada. It's 103 degrees today. I have FINALLY grown some cahones and let them show. I decided that I am just going to rock what I got, and work on things day by day and hopefully get back to where I'm 100% confident. Right now though, I'll take 75% confidence.
    Once you find some level of self acceptance, it makes bearing those stretch marks so much easier.

    And also, I think you'd be surprised by the amount of people you know who have them, that are just not talking about them.

    They will fade, bio oil and cocoa butter can help.

    Losing / regaining weight quickly will not help so aim for a slow, steady loss so your skin has chance to catch up!
