Bad stretch marks, even worse self-esteem?!?!
Question: Bad stretch marks, even worse self-esteem!?!!?
Okay like i have always been overweight, not heavily, but yeah!.
And my weight always really flunctuated, now, especially, in puberty!.
I developed bad stretch marks sort of across my bum and upper thigh area last year, but i didn't worry that much, as it was all covered by underwear/bathers!. They then faded to white!.
I recently flunctuated my weight again, and grew boobs!.
I now have them on the back of my thighs, like a little 5 x 5 patch on the back of each thigh, i also have them on the insides of both thighs but those ones arent so bad, but still there!
I have some on my boobs to!.
But the main ones are on my hips!. They are thick and terrible!. And you can see them in a bikini and everything!.
I also sort of have them coming down my upper thigh/hip now a little!. jst a few here and there!.
I'm using so much stuff to fade them, and like it is working but I just cannot stand them!. Sometimes i cry about them because I'm so embarrassed by them!.
Like, i've made them sound a little worse here, but they really really really make my self-esteem suffer!.
All i can think all the time is "I wish i could rewind to at least the start of this year to prevent the new visible ones from coming!"
And it really really makes me upset!.
What can i do to help my self-esteem!? Any words of encouragement!?
My mum doesnt have 1 on her body! She tries to say "dont worry about them! Nobody cares, they are fading!" but she doesnt know what it feels like! I'm so jealous! Why couldn't i be tiny and petite like her!?
Thanks heaps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Taking Zinc works quite quickly, it will fade the ones you have and stop you getting anymore!. Its unlikely they will completely dissapear!. You have got to come to terms with the fact that they are only stretch marks, it could be alot worse! I have them, and they will only show up in certain lights and when your skin is a certain way, once they have faded to silver!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
