Two mothers hoping to make a difference in the world of female body image have started an Instagram account solely dedicated to celebrating stretch marks.
In less than two weeks, Love Your Lines has amassed more than 31,000 followers, with women from around the world using the hashtag #LoveYourLines to submit images of their own 'tiger marks' - and the stories behind them.
'#LoveYourLines is a social media photo campaign to help showcase the beauty of the female body,' explained the East Coast-based mothers, who have asked to remain anonymous.
So far, comments on the Instagram account have been filled with support and positive feedback from other women keen to share their own stretch-mark stories
'These shoulders have carried 240lbs... these shoulders have carried 180lbs These shoulders have carried ME... Be confident in who you are,' wrote this women, who remained anonymous
'My stomach went from a solid 6 pack to this. I was self conscious and ashamed to show it to anyone. I tried different stretch mark creams but now I wear it as a badge of honor!' wrote the woman behind this image
Meanwhile Kimberly Klimenko, a mother-of-three, snapped an image of herself in a white bikini writing: 'I may not have the toned abs & you may even ask where my belly button is. However, I want to be real, relevant, & provide motivation & inspiration to other mommies out there to embrace their beauty, especially after their bodies have changed so much after child birth.
'I have three children in which ALL pregnancies I've gained 50+ lbs. And people who know me, know how stretched out my belly got, looking literally like a watermelon!
'Needless to say, I lost the tightness in my belly & developed lots of loose skin and the 3 c sections made it all worse. So long story short, I'm here to inspire & motivate other mommies to LOVE themselves & not care about what others have to say about your bodies!'
