I know how you feel about those stretch marks. I have two wonderful children, both by c-section and have the rail road tracks across my a_ _ to prove it! They also go down my upper thighs so a bathing suit w/o a skirt is not something I've seen in a long while. I have found a quick and easy way to help camouflage them though, TANNING! I know it is not the safest thing in the world, but it does help and it does make me feel better about myself. If you're totally against tanning beds, how 'bout a tan from a bottle. There are a bunch of real good ones out there now that wont turn you orange.

Good luck to you!
