I’m sitting here contemplating my stretchmarks.  I am watching television while I am thinking about my stretchmarks and typing on the computer.  I’m a multitasker.  I see all these people on television.  Some are built like me, many are larger.  I think about my growth lines and I wonder why I worry about them so much.  I have to admit I am a little bit embarrassed by them.  I don’t know why.  I am not the only one in the world that has them.  I am not even one of a few.  Almost every human being that has any meat on their bones at all has them.  But we all feel the same about our stretch marks. 

We are bothered by them and embarrassed.  I have not seen any advertisement about stretchmarks or stretch mark remedies.  I have never been criticised about them.  In fact my husband, my doctor and myself are the only people who have ever seen them.  My husband and my Doctor has never said anything about them.  They could care less.  They are a natural process from having children, gaining and loosing weight.  Why are they such a problem.  I don’t get it.  I just need to get over it and move on.  I wish it could be that easy.
