real inspiring bro... anything for a post, huh?
icedude: just be you man. I am willing to bet thatyour stretch marks are not a big deal and she will not think much of it. Your looks or body may very well be what got her attention in the first place. So go with that. your stretch marks are a byproduct to your hard work. You can still do all the things you have been able to do before. trust me.
And remember. Nobody is harder on you than you. Lighten up man and go out, have a good time, and I hope you get lucky.
