FOTOS | La cuenta de Instagram que busca cambiar la imagen de las mujeres con estrías
"Love Your Lines" busca marcar una diferencia en la belleza femenina instándolas a amarse tal y como son.
Dos mujeres crearon hace un par de meses la cuenta en Instagram llamada Love Your Lines (Ama tus líneas). En ella suben fotos en blanco y negro de mujeres que tienen estrías en distintas partes de su cuerpo. Cada imagen tiene la historia de cómo obtuvieron las marcas y los testimonios de quienes envían sus fotografías.
“#LoveYourLines Es una campaña fotográfica de medios sociales para ayudar a mostrar la belleza del cuerpo femenino. Esta cuenta está comandada por dos mamás que quieren marcar una diferencia en el mundo de la imagen del cuerpo femenino. Todas las mujeres de diferentes formas, tamaños y orígenes culturales se les anima a enviar una. Sus fotos deben ser tomadas contra un fondo liso. No podemos esperar a ver sus líneas de amor!”, publicaron en la primera imagen subida el 12 de agosto de este año.

This submission made us smile. It came along with this: “I acquired these at the ripe age of 13, first menses, 84lbs (super slim). No children. Just life. It took me forever to get used to my stretch marks when no one else did. This rasta man from back home (Virgin Islands) told me that lines on a woman’s body reminded him of filigree gold and it was a testament to the changes a woman’s body had been through. How could I not love my body after that? So here’s to me embracing my small filigree bootay.” We #loveyourlines!

“25, 130 lbs, no kids. I’ve had my lines since middle school. I used to be embarrassed and hide them, tried cocoa butter and fade creams. I’ve learned to fully embrace it. Now I can walk down the beach, no cover up..they’re forever a part of me and my lines are beautiful.” Another amazing #loveyourlines submission.

“I was 19 when I became pregnant with my daughter, shortly after my fiancé was deployed. I was in the military myself away from family- I ate through my loneliness my first trimester causing these stretch marks- now I’m healthy and fit but these lines will forever be a reminder that I overcame those dark days.”

“A mother of three who gained 50+ lbs with each pregnancy. I have successfully lost 55lbs. The weight is gone but the marks remain. This was my children’s first home, this is where my children grew before I could hold them. I try to see the beauty in that.” submission from @iamgrissom

” “I am from the Philippines and I would like to share my story. I’m 23, single and apparently, don’t have kids. I got my lovelines from growth spurts when I was in highschool. I was petite back then and over the years while my body develops continuously, the more lines i got. I have them all over my butt, thighs, knees and even on my calves. Honestly, I really don’t like them and it really makes me insecure having them. I never get to wear bikinis bcoz I was too shy. I was jealous of my friends who get to flaunt their bikini bods. On the bright side of things, i stumbled upon your page on Instagram and saw those pictures of brave women and that made me realize i was not alone. Seeing those pictures made me change my view about my body. All thanks to you and all those great gorgeous women. Although I haven’t totally accepted these marks, I know that it shows my body’s journey into becoming a beautiful woman. Now, i am gradually loving these lines and hopefully soon I would have the courage to flaunt it.”
