Stretch marks and Cellulite free skin!

I am a very beautiful girl with a nice curvy body.But, I grew kinda quickly in my teen age and as a result I have these dreaded stretch marks all over my body- arms, thighs, calves, you name it and it is there. They are not so visible from afar but definitely noticeable from near.

My insecurities started when I was in high school, wearing a skirt and one of my friends pointed them out on my calves. She was pretty mean about those. I remember her words clearly in my head “you have got roads running down your calves”

This shattered my self esteem to the core. Its been 10 years since then and marks have faded a lot but, there has not been a single day when I don’t fret about those. I am told I am beautiful almost everyday but, my mind doesn’t believe. On some days I feel like an ugly monster not worthy of love. I take a lot of time to open up to my boyfriends, though none of them seemed to care or pointed them out unless I told them.

I am tired of being insecure about everything. I can’t wear my favourite dresses, I am so scared to expose myself. I can’t stop comparing my body to all these flawless bodies around.

I am not sure as to how will I be able to overcome these fears but let me ask you all to be kind to people. Do not point out their physical flaws because words have the potential to scar people for life.

To men and women- how do you guys feel about a pretty women with stretch marks and cellulite? please let me know in the comments.
