Cognitive_Canine Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, everyone has stretch marks. Get stretch marks like I have and then complain.. until then.. Did you use a moiturizer while expecting? I think it is called cocoa butter or something... I am wondering if that actually works. Link to comment
Rose21 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 But see that's good then, everyone will know how brave you are for surviving the bear attack Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Did you use a moiturizer while expecting? I think it is called cocoa butter or something... I am wondering if that actually works. It doesn't.. Stretch marks are genetic. If you're going to get them, you're going to get them regardless. I used cocoa butter religiously every day and still look like I have been attacked by a bear.

I inherited my father's skin and I was the first girl born on his side of the family in 5 generations. But, at least I don't sunburn... Link to comment
jengh Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 When I went through puberty, I got BAD stretch marks on my boobs... DEEP scarring. So embarrassing.... I used Neosporin and I swear it worked... what possessed me to try it, I don't know...but it helped. Link to comment
Rose21 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I don't think my mom has any as far as I know. But I'm almost positive I don't want kids. Link to comment

One of my good high school friends (although I haven't seen him since 4th of July and he showed up very drunk to that party so I doubt he remembers it) has horrible stretch marks on his shoulders from growing so tall so fast. He is horribly self conscious about it and wears shirts in the pool. He's so adorable too. Link to comment

laisla Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 question about stretch marks - do they stay red? or do they all eventually turn silvery? i have them from growth spurts but they're all silvery. not sure if they will all become like that (pregnancy). Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 really, shoulders? I don't think I've ever seen em there. poor guy. I was surprised too when I first saw them. He rarely takes off his shirt but one time I caught him when I was getting out of bed and he had gotten out of the shower and only had a towel around his waist. (When me and my friends went to california for the weekend for a music festival). They are lateral marks and they are quite bad. apparently he grew a lot in a short amount of time. He is about 6 foot 4. Link to comment

Most of mine have faded from red to silver.. Although I do still have a few that are red, just not as bright as when they first appeared. Link to comment

Rose21 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Oh that happened to one of my old friends. He grew so suddenly and lost alot of weight, he said he had horrible stretch marks on his shoulders and backs. He never took his shirt off around me. Link to comment
Lights Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ladies, i must say...i haven't been feeling very good lately, and all 18 pages of this thread made me feel like ****. this reminds me of the thread i saw earlier, about wondering when someone who is obviously tiny is saying their body sucks and it makes you wonder what kind of cow they'd think you are. i'm 5'9 and i'm 160 something pounds. i must say that it makes me feel horrible to see a pic of you rose, stick thin, and then look at myself, with huge thighs that make me feel like i can't wear a skirt, love handles with the stretch marks that others have described, and nowhere near the weight i'd like to be. i mean, there you are getting pictures taken in your bikini, when i'm scared as hell to even try mine on anymore. ugh.

Big Hugs sweety I totally understand how you are feeling. As I said in the other thread, these "Oh i'm so fat" posts are making me depressed.
