stretch marks...............

[Sprocketjones]

Okay - this is going to sound like the start of a joke, so bear with me...

I was *SO* fat, that I have stretch marks on the insides of my elbows...now _that's_ some abuse.

I once went to donate blood, and the phlebotomist rolled up my sleeve, looked down, ran her hand over these "scars" and then pulled a Sr. phlebotomist over because she thought they looked like TRACKMARKS...so being a big smarty pants, I said, "Stretch marks, track marks, it's all good..." I bet they pulled and stretched my skin 15 times before they decided that they'd take a chance on my drug free blood.

It was crazy.

So I don't worry about stretch marks - and I'm not going to until I'm sitting in some plastic surgeon's office.

Like the other posters said, I don't know any woman in America that doesn't have some sort of stretch mark...somewhere, from some growth spurt...self induced or Mother Nature induced.

well i know ive heard that vitamin e does help and as for wanting to wear more revealing clothing there are some companys that now have a new new airbrushing makeup and you spray it on. im not sure how much it costs or what companys make it but if you spray it on say your stomach im sure it will help. i remember when i was a teen i was in fairly good shape and also had stretch marks and id use regular foundation and it worked pretty good. i used it on my belly mostly
