| My partner has reassured me about my body image issues, but I just don't know if I can believe him or not. I am moderately active in a sport that has caused me to put on some muscle. So, over the past three years since I started in the sport, I have gained weight. I have asked people I trust if they think I have put on weight (the bad kind) and insisted that I wanted to hear the brutal, honest truth. Everyone around me that I have asked reassured me that I look fine, and perfectly healthy. But I feel like I am totally uncomfortable in my own body. I got the depo shot around 9 months ago, (just one time) and ever since the shot, these random stretch marks have been showing up all over my body... around my navel, upper thighs, and hips. I feel like they are destroying my self-confidence and, in turn, my relationship with my partner. I know I need to work on my own body image myself, and that no matter how many times he tells me I look great, I w ill not believe him unless I feel great inside. But I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this? Every site I go to for information on random stretch marks will only talk about women who have been pregnant in the past getting them, and I have never been pregnant. I don't understand why these things are showing up all over my body and it is making me so unhappy with myself that my relationship is suffering. | |||
