so as i’m scrolling through american apparel’s site wishing everything was cheaper, i stumbled upon this! i don’t know if they forgot to edit it out or if they just don’t really edit their photos but for some reason it made me happy (in an odd way)! people seem to think you need to be obese in order to have stretch marks/cellulite, but this girl right here is average size and she has them. i know a lot of companies edit things like this out because it’s not “visually appealing” but it’s nice that they didn’t because almost every girl i know has stretch marks or cellulite! they don’t make you disgusting, fat, gross or anything else horrible! it makes you human.

I am about as average sized as you can get and I still have stretchmarks on my legs and butt, nearly every girl I know has stretchmarks somewhere

at any rate this pleases me

i’m going to save this forever. i’ve always been insecure of my stretch marks because i’ve had them since i was 12. i first developed them on my hips and legs- mind you i was EXTREMELY thin. it made no sense. and now i am average weight, maybe even a little curvier than most, but i still have a lot of stretch marks. i’m extremely self conscious of them, but i’m progressively getting better. it’s ads like this that make me feel better about myself. it reminds me that i’m normal. it reminds me i’m still beautiful.
