Would you give up if you had my body?

In short? Get over it. Stretchmarks happen to -almost- every mom. The world is NOT ending.

dont give up! you can tone and feel healthier. nothing will get rid of stretch marks its natural when you have had kids! mine are horrendous and trust me my tummy is far far worse you could tone a lot! my doc already told me id need a bloody tuck ouch. it really is not as bad as you are thinking, we are our own worst enemy! x

Don't know if it has already been said but try Bio Oil on the stretch marks and drinking plenty of water, I've noticed huge improvements doing this and I still have a long way to go

You know, I have view about life in general and when people try to reach their goals. I believe that whether you want to "give up" or not and you feel like your goal is too big to achieve you'll always be on your journey. If you don't exercise for a year, your still on your journey, if you eat like crap for a week, your still on your journey. They are just detours in that long road to your goals and its not a choice, its part of your life. You may not make the right choices or feel unmotivated sometimes but it doesn't change the fact that your still growing and learning your whole life and thats unstoppable no matter how hard you try to fight it... Its all part of the process.

So when I see "should I just give up because my body looks like this"? Its a big Hellz no! The stretch marks will fade, the skin will tighten, the fat will vanish and the muscles will grow if you put the work in. If you don't, well, its just postpone for a later time.
Giving up is not an option.
