How to get over my stretch marks by newleaves

"I feel so carefree!"

How I did it: I have spent this past year becoming completely free of my insecurities. Throughout the year, I took babysteps towards wearing clothes that I normally would not have worn--simply because my stretchmarks would be out in the open. I must admit, the first time I wore a sleeveless dress in public, I was very self-conscious. I imagined people were looking at the stretchmarks on my arms. But as I did it more and more often, I realized people didn't even notice them.

Now I am not even aware of them! I realize people see my beauty and I can freely enjoy wearing whatever I want. It's so nice to be able to do that. I even got one comment about my stretchmarks (the only one), and I didn't even care.

Lessons & tips: The biggest lesson is just to be confident with yourself. If you think of yourself as beautiful, so will other people. If you don't notice your stretchmarks or whatever other imperfections you have, nobody else will either.

    i hate them so much! they have made me so self-conscious!

    i got the ones on my arms when i was only 15…those r the worst b/c im really limited as far as clothes go…i cant wear the cool tank tops n clubbing clothes that every girl my age wears…

    i basically have them everywhere on my body n feel like i look so disgustin b/c of them….since they’re old, they’re really light, but still, visible as all stretch marks r! i dont think i’ll ever feel beautiful naked!

    i have tried everything, all the different types of creams n makeup…just not the laser stuff…too expensive n doubt it will work…

    i guess i just have to accept them….i just wish i hadnt gotten them so young so i could have had more years of bein able to wear “young” clothes….
