    As a mom, I've earned them, as an over-eater, I'm ashamed of them....that's the Gemini in me :)

    I love my stretch marks, they are part of my little man. I earned them and wear them proud!

    I didn't get one stretch mark from my pregnancy, but I have a ton of them (white ones) on my hips from where I gained weight in my youth. And I have wretched spider veins on the sides of my thighs from the same thing. I've been thinking about having those removed, but it's pure vanity. If it were from pregnancy, I might feel more noble and righteous about it. Sigh...

    Not much you can do about 'em, so try not to worry too much.

    I got em. Nothing I can do about them. They're mine, they're my ups and downs. No children have created them, but they will be the ones to add to them.

    Nope. I've come to terms with mine. It reminds me where I shouldn't go ever again!

    I think they are from losing weight so why not be proud of them? I've never had kids and try not to get down about that. Sick of people thinkng I'm a parent when I haven't earned that title.

    I know I shouldn't care but I do. Don't know that I'll ever wear a bikini again.

    No kids here. Just from gaining and losing and gaining and losing. I've had stretch marks since I was young, i've had them on my hips since I can remember. They suck. But I've tried Mederma and Cocoa butter and all of that. I guess I don't mind them now. I'm used to them.

    I have them. Don't have kids but they are from gaining weight when I was younger. Sick of people asking me "Why do you have stretch marks? You don't have kids." A misconception that everyone thinks you only get stretch marks from kids. Once I reach my goal size I don't care what anyone thinks I'll wear a bikini and flaunt my stretch marks! They are my "struggle scars" that I will have overcome. They are a part of me and won't be going anywhere.

    I earned mine through my weight gain, not from pregnancy. So I'm a little pissed about them, but I just add them to the list of scars I have earned over the years. Oh the stories I can tell!:smile:

    I got mine from having a kid. And the man I'm with couldn't care less about them. He thinks I'm beautiful.

    I grew so quickly when I hit puberty (extremely early as well -- the week of my 9th birthday).. that I had stretch marks on my hips, shoulders, ankles, around my waist and back by the time I was in junior high school. The ones on my stomach from gaining so much weight and being pregnant with twins just makes a whole matching set
