I really love the feeling as my stomach grows, I can feel my skin begging and trying to keep up with me as I expand. The stretched skin works so hard to keep me in that fun and exciting pain-ish. I don't like to lotion the parts of my body that truly deserve the most stretching but every now and then I have to give myself a quick rub down with lotion. I love watching the cream as it illuminates and highlights my rolls and bloated belly. I look like a whole planet...next goal is to be an entire galaxy!
