I applaud the attention you've given to SofaM - it's something I look at admiringly for the brave women who post there. But. I don't think you're being fair or true to the cause. To say that you <I>would</I> post a photo there if you looked better is to indirectly cast judgement on the women (us) that didn't end up with perfect skin.<BR/><BR/>See, I understand not wanting to expose or post pictures of your stretch marks. That's how I feel. But I also wouldn't want to post a picture if I weren't stretched. I'm not <I>that</I> okay with my body. Depending on where you read it, between 10% and 50% percent are <I>lucky</I> enough to escape getting stretched, so it's as if you're embarrassed to look like the rest of us. The majority of us. And that makes me feel bad. For me and for you.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm curious how you feel about it 9 months from now when your hormones are more balanced and you're settled in to motherhood. I bet you'll care significantly less. I remember feeling awkward and ashamed for at least 8 months after the birth of Madeleine.<BR/><BR/>The end.Mignonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07716330276288396317noreply@blogger.com
