What surprised me, getting stretch marks...they went around to the back hip?! Loved how they promote these stretch mark cream and say, oh just put this on, and you won't get them. Seriously!?

I have to wear tank-kinis instead of bikinis, just because of the self-conscious factor, plus, I am not that person who will go show off things that maybe others don't find so attractive, if that makes sense!

I even have stretch marks on my arms, not from anything more, than I went through this growth spurt when I was younger, and literally stretched my arms...
