Ewww. I'm going to sound super vain here, but this is the truth: I'm completely grossed out by stretch marks. I know a lot of moms think of them as battle scars, but seeing them on moms makes me wonder why their hubbies still touch them. They bother me that much.
In my first 2 years after my injury, I put on quite a bit of weight, simply because I couldn't be active. I ended up with a faint stretch mark on the side of each thigh, just below what my bikini covers. Now that I'm small enough to once again fit into said bikini, I'm still trying to get up the guts to show those icky stretch marks in public. Even my own gross me out.
Sorry. Little side rant there. Couldn't help it.
