Journey In Mass Building: Stretchmarks →

jerrym808:

When I first started lifting, I loved it so much that I didn’t want to do anything else at school except go to Weight Training class. After really getting into it, I did research and pulled myself together to better myself. I never did a lot of it at the time because as a teenager I was in that…

Wanted: Motivation: I found stretchmarks. →

wanted-motivation:

They’re on my inner thighs.

And I really don’t care about them.

I only noticed them because I’ve seen a rash of posts about stretchmarks on my dash lately. Each time I see them, I’m surprised…because I keep forgetting they’re even there!

I wish I could see more of that on my dash. Yes, the,…

saminal:

Yeah but seriously though, stretchmarks are just so beautiful. They’re like fingerprints that you grow; no two sets are the same. They’re fascinating, like forks of lightning frozen on skin, captured for fingers and eyes to trace at their leisure.　

Confession.

wh0relust:

I actually think scars and stretch marks are beautiful. Every single one.

Self portrait. Maybe expanded into a series.

I’d rather have stretch marks and be able to show them off, than have to hide behind clothes.

droppingdigitss:

If you worked hard for the body you have, show it off…don’t hide it just cause you’re left with some battle wounds..

I haven’t lost enough weight yet to be proud and show off my body, but when I do, these damn stretch marks aren’t going to be holding me back!

Show the world how far you’ve come..don’t hide within your comfort zone….you pushed through your comfort zone to get where you are now, well just keep pushing cause it doesn’t stop there. 

Let’s do this together! <33

Burn to Earn: Can we talk about stretch marks for a minute? →

burntoearn:

Maybe I’m weird, but I’m really not understanding this obsession with stretch marks. Everyone has them. Some people have small ones, faint ones. Some people have deep dark ones. Some women have them on their breasts, some have them on their hips, some have them on their stomachs or butts or legs….

My friend thinks i’m crazy for loving my stretch marks…

randomactsoftash:

I think she’s crazy for letting them keep her from swimming, wearing dresses and shorts in the summer, and basically enjoying life. :\

Just admiring my stripes. Let me see yours!

Just stumbled upon a post about stretch marks,

happy-means-healthy:

and all I can think is, why be ashamed of them? I’m proud of my stretch marks! I consider them battle wounds. The marks themselves basically provide a story of my weight loss/journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Fine, maybe they’re not “pretty” or “beautiful,” but I honestly don’t care. They’re a part of me. They’re a constant reminder of the progress I have made and the progress I WILL make.

So, why hate or be ashamed of them?!
