Love the tiny violin tag. If it's just the scars what about working them into a tattoo of some kind. I'm not creative at all but I bet you or your artist could come up with something...
i'd thought about that before, but the scars extend all the way up my stomach. about 3 or 4 inches above my belly button. all the way down. if i ever decided to attempt laser treatments (for the higher scars) i'd consider a tattoo for the lower part of the belly. that's if my tattoo artist thought it would work. these are some seriously wide scars, and i don't really know how stretch marks react to being tattooed.

I have epic stretch marks too. . . and I occasionally get upset about them.
But I'm determined to wear my bikini anyway (it's way more comfortable than any of the other bathing suits I've had.). Fuck those other girls at the pool.
Of course no man is going to fantasize about stretch marks. Why on earth, if that much of you was exposed, would they be paying attention? With so many other delightful body parts around, why would they care?
I feel like the only people who really notice, and notice with a critical eye, are other women. Women enforce all sorts of ridiculous body (and gender) norms that men couldn't care less about.
So fuck them.
But you probably shouldn't listen to me. I still weigh myself daily (sometimes more than once) and plan accordingly.
"It's not something I'd recommend, but it is one way to live."
you do make a valid point about that delightful body parts, i hadn't really considered that.
i've been taking comfort in reading about laser scar removal and tummy tuck procedures that would remove most of the marks. i don't think i would ever be able to afford a ridiculous procedure, but it makes me feel less hopeless to know that they exist.
it still upsets me that my husband likes women that look like this:

That is super cute!! I saw it independent of you and wanted it-- but even with my stupid, smaller-than-they-used-to-be saggy boobs, I still need an underwire, which is why I'm in a bikini

it seems ridiculous to me that a woman would consider leaving her husband over porn. i mean, i guess a person could be addicted to it, just like drugs or food or videogames... and maybe in a case like that it would be a different story.
but i enjoy watching porn with joel. it helps to, uh, get things going.
also, i'm still really not sure why we've never met up. well, i know it's partially that i'm intimidated by that giant brain of yours... you still in kent? we've been wanting to check out professors pub.
did you use anything when u were preg to make them disapeer? i put cocoa butter on my stomach every other night and mine are still there but you can barely see them. theres also a new lotion called mederma for stretch marks and i heard its really good, i havent bought it tho bc cocoa butter works well for me.

very similar to that one.
