I took these photos right after one another. I may look like I have “normal” legs/ thighs but if you looked close, these are my stretch marks on each of my thighs and they extend to my butt too. They’ve increased in a huge amount over the past few months, and to be honest? I have no idea why. I don’t know if it’s because I lost weight or gain weight. I used to be so ashamed of these, and if this was me a year ago I would have freaked out and relapsed and spent days obsessing over how disgusting I looked. They show when I wear shorts, they obviously show when I wear a swim suit. And people stare, oh trust me they stare a lot. All of my friends and family have asked me why I had them or why I had so many of them but all I can say is I don’t know! I used to think I had them because I was fat but they increased as I lost weight and got more into fitness and my legs grew stronger. I guess what I’m trying to say is, it doesn’t define you or your progress. Just like your weight doesn’t define you or your progress. Having 50 stretch marks per thigh inner and outer doesn’t mean that I’m fat or unfit, it just means I have them, for whatever reason. The same goes for fitness. And well, for my future boyfriend, you better love these cause they’re not going away unfortunately.
Thank you for sharing. Really inspiring :) xx
