    I haven’t been on here in a long time but I wanted to say to everyone who’s commented and watched, thank you so much. If you’re feeling how I’ve felt and still continue to feel at times, you are not alone and I hope this video helps you see how beautiful you are! It took so much for me to be comfortable in my own skin and it’s not easy. Be kind and gentle with yourself and talk to yourself like you would talk to your best friend, or better yet as if you were talking to a younger version of yourself who needed someone to encourage them. Sending love to you all! ❤️❤️❤️

      I was literally just about to comment this! Tara if you haven’t tried dry tattooing yet you should really give it a go. I heard it works amazing for darker skin tones especially. I just had my first treatment 2 months ago and I can feel the texture has changed. They say it can take a few treatments to re-pigment the skin and if the pigment doesn’t hold they will move forward with tattoo ink. Definitely worth a shot!

    I have them everywhere and they've killed my confidence, the last time I wore a tank top was 10 or 11 years ago, I tried everything even laser therapy and it didn't work, I avoid looking at myself in the mirror when I work out, shower or change, I'm afraid of starting a relationship with someone and being told I look disgusting or being looked at like if I am, I don't have a cool story about how or why I have them I just do, and I know I shouldn't let them destroy me like this but I can't help it, I can't count how many nights through the years I stayed up crying all night and wishing not to wake up in the morning because of how much I hate how my skin looks, I hope one day I'll be able to accept them like you because I'm so tired of feeling like this and I don't know how much longer I can take this, how much longer I'll be able to live feeling like this, thank you for this video, you're the only person I've ever seen with stretch marks as many as mine, you showed me I'm not the only one struggling with this and thank you for that

I'm 21 and I still to this day get them in new places but I have to tell you, I think they do look really cool, I see them like the stripes a tiger has and that makes me less stressed about the way they look. When I clicked on the video my first thought was how nice her stretch marks look and if you try to shift your mindset it will become a lot easier to accept yourself the way you are ❤ We all struggle with our bodys and just want to feel confident so why not start today?

I feel like a prisoner in my clothes, and when it’s hot I wanna wear cute dresses or a swim suit but I’m constantly in my head about people staring and judging my stretch marks.

    I remember moving around and my stretch marks showed and then my mum brought it up and started telling me how I’m getting fat and that I need to lose weight in front of everyone (whole family)...
    it was embarrassing and I felt ashamed so I started to cover up my body and wear hoodies even in summer... I’m still dealing with it till this day and this video really makes me feel like I’m not alone and that I should embrace it... just kinda hard when people point it out.

    Thank you for making this video dear. I am a 18 year old year old obese girl with terrible stretch Marks on my body almost everywhere. I always had been judged by my looks during my school, my all classmates used to make fun of me because of the way I look, even my relatives used to make fun of my looks on my back, sometimes people tried to make me feel ugly directly as well as indirectly by comparing me with someone else. All this make me feel so depressing and conscious about my looks and even at some point of life I used to feel that I'm not gonna find someone who loves my soul and a person I am without taking care of how my body looks....you really made me confident that the true beauty lies within the soul...Thank you so much ❤

  • @MsMufet03
    @MsMufet03 Před 2 lety +6

    Hi I know your post is about body image and acceptance but I just wanted to add that excessive stretch marks can be a sign of connective tissue disorders and/or Autoimmune Disorders. It can be an indicator of Adrenal problems causing excess cortisol (Cushing’s syndrome) among other things. Parts like tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea, cartilage, bone and blood vessels may be affected by connective tissues disease. I am prone to stretch marks and recently I was diagnosed with a disorder that affects the cornea (part of the eye) as well as issues with my heart AND carotid (blood vessel). I have had issues with my adrenal and thyroid glands, hip joints and intestines in the past. I’d advise anyone with excessive stretch marks to do a little research and take any changes in health seriously. Small issues like higher than normal blood pressure, blurry vision can indicate more serious issues… I struggled in my teens and twenties. I never wore tube tops, spaghetti straps, tank tops or sleeveless shirts/dresses. I’ve never worn a bikini and had a large assortment of shrugs, cardigans and wraps. That being said I always had boyfriends. My current partner loves me to bits and finds me incredibly attractive. The right man won’t care about superficial things. Keep improving on yourself, live, learn and enjoy life, the right one will come along when you least expect it. ✨Blessings✨

I don't why in Asian countries special in India there is so high beauty standards for women ... here we don't comment on man's body but if a girl is short,dark,over weight, pimple or anything whole society will tell u to make it better or else u won't get a man !

Just like you mentioned it was hard being a teenager surrounded by friends with perfect skin. Then my sexual life was affected in adulthood because i was and still I'm not comfortable in my skin 😑
    I see you made this video a couple of years ago and wonder if you've tried anything since that maybe worked in getting rid(or improved) of them?
    I've tried many MANY things but unfortunately none helped. The only thing that came close to working was inkless camouflage microneedling, but weeks later stretch marks appeared again as if they never left 😔
    I will end this video by saying thank you so much for sharing ❤ you are extremely brave and inspiring! I hope one day i have your courage and buy that top or dress I've always wanted to wear.. hugs your way 🤗

    Thank you for making this video. I need to try be more like you. It’s really hard but I take encouragement from this. My stretch marks are crazy too but I’m trying to still see the beauty in me the way I see it in you. 🥰😍

      You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! You got this. You are beautiful! Don't worry about judgment from others, either, especially if they're potential romantic interests. If they really like you, they won't give a damn about your stretch marks.

    I just want say that you are very pretty and brave.This is the first time I am sharing my view.Because I really feel like we all should have this kind of confidence.I am saying because I have some and i try to hide these always Only cause I feel like what people will say or think if they see that i have these marks .Again I really feel sad about these marks.

    Thank you so much for this video most of the content on streatchmarks is how to improve or get rid of them. I am 34 and also have stretch marks over the majority of my body, I am slowly getting confident in my own skin.

    I don’t know why my comment got deleted but thank you for this, I also got stretch marks all on my upper arms and some on the back of my shoulder at the age of 12/13. I never been overweight I went from being skinny to being average size during a growth spurt. I’m in my early 20s I always cover my arms and back but I’m done with that this summer it is what it is 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽feels good to know I’m not the only 1!

    I loved this video you are absolutely gorgeous ❤ it amazes me how one can help so many people by being vulnerable and showing your 'imperfections'. This is a lesson I learned last year, when you open up about yourself the people around will too and you not only start accepting yourself more but also help others as well ❤ this is my motivation for stepping outside my comfort zone

    My skin got all saggy and with large stretch marks because of serious stress. I've already though about the worst. I'm young and my life feels like its over. Took me 10 years to get used to those normal stretch marks. I don't know if I can live with this body I have now. I also can't pay reconstruction surgeries.

  • @coldblooded568

    I’m 27 and have had horrible stretch marks since I was 12 cause I was very obese.
    Even though I lost all the weight and considered “fit” now I still have the horrible stretchmarks everywhere 😔 I never wear anything that shows my arms or stomach cause I’m too ashamed of how it looks
