I have been cursed with the worst skin in the world. Pasty white, semi transparent, and apparently the SLIGHTEST growth leaves the most wretched marks on me forever.
It Started during puberty--- classic stretch marks on my inner thighs and boobs--- later, when I was slightly bigger, I had them on the underneath of my arms near the triceps...
Now that I'm fat, I've got them all over my stomach. To the point where my gynecologist was giving me a breast exam and looked at my stomach and said, "Jen.. weird question, I know... but have you ever been pregnant?" They are so severe (and I'm not HUGELY overweight- I'm a size 20/22!!!) that a DOCTOR asked if I was pregnant before.
I know even when I lose all my weight my stomach will look TERRIBLE--- not just loose skin, but "deflated wrinkly balloon" skin... But, I've told myself that if and when I lose all this weight and I get down to my goal, I will seriously go talk to a couple plastic surgeons and talk about what to do. I think THAT is a definately worthy reward. And if I spend a ton of money on it, maybe that will keep me from gaining the weight back again.
So even before I was fat, I was cursed with these awful marks. Sure, most of them have faded and turned white, but these belly marks are here forever. I can't wait to have kids so that at least I can blame the kids for them
so people don't think my FAT was the main reason!
