Stretch Marks

Hi all

i am new to this forum...I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is depressed with their stretch marks.Before have ing my first child I was a size 10,after having him I formed stretch marks on my lower abdomen,it upset me as I had always had firm smooth skin.But 9 years later after having my second child I developed gestational diabetes,i then had added stretcmarks going up past my belly button ,down the tops of my legs and my hips.The ones on my stomach and hips are dark pink and big and the ones down the tops of my legs are thin white ones. I have gained weight too and am now a size 12 in some clothes 14 in most.


I have also developed cellulite down the backs of the tops of my legs...I feel very depressed about it all. I hope you guys dont think im boasting but I had a nice body before I had my second child even tho I had stretch marks,but at least I could still get away with a bikini.Im currently on a diet but love my food too much and am worried ill get even more stretch marks as I obviously havent much elasticity in my skin.Anyone have any ideas for if I can treat these stretch marks or tone them down...Iv read about creams but im not sure if they would really work.


Who else has the same problem as I do :cry:
