Women raise your hands if you have ever felt or were made to feel insecure about your stretch marks! There is no denying that we have all felt uncomfortable, at one point or the other, about these uneven white stripes running across our skin.
If you have ever felt the same way, we have something very inspiring for you!

Actress Jameela Jamil took to Instagram to share how stretch marks, especially the ones on our breasts, were 'normal, beautiful thing'. The 33-year-old has always been very vocal about her love for all body shapes and sizes and has been a champion in advocating against weight-loss diets and supplements marketed by the Kardashians.

So, it comes as no surprise that the Good Place actress, who frequently talks about body positivity on her various social media handles, talked about the stretch marks on her breasts.

She wrote: “Boob stretch marks are a normal, beautiful thing. I have stretch marks all over my body and I hereby rename them all Babe Marks. They are a sign my body dared to take up extra space in a society that demands our eternal thinness. They are my badge of honour for resisting society’s weaponizing of the female form. ❤️ ps. My face is white because I wear SPF 100 sunscreens like a boss. PS. LOVE YOUR BROWN SKIN. I tan responsibly but I love to tan! I love to embrace and celebrate my heritage. This skin bleaching and whitening should be banned. It’s inherently racist, classist and emotionally very damaging. ”



Yes, she actually nicknamed her stretch marks as “Babe Marks”! Frankly, we are angry why didn’t we think of this stupendous name before! Her motivating post has received a lot of positive comments for getting real about boob stretch marks. A lot of users were inspired by her completely untouched photo and shared their own journey with “babe marks.”






The bottom line

In a world of filters and photoshop touchups, Jameela’s post acts as a fresh breath of air which we need to love ourselves, just the way we are. Way to go Jameela!
