If you mean the stretch marks, that's largely a genetic crapshoot, no amount of "healthy eating and exercise" will prevent them if you're predisposed to get them. I used to work at a salon/beauty supply store that made us take classes from companies like Murad, StriVectin, etc, who make a lot of money off of women who buy stretch mark creams.
The truth is, if you have the right set of genes, even going through puberty or getting a boob job or even losing weight will give you stretch marks, and even though there's tons of supposed products and treatments to help fade them, there's no way to get rid of them.
It kind of makes me sad to think that so many of you think a woman is useless/needs to be dumped if she has stretch marks, because I makes me think of the women I used to talk to every day about this shit who were so insecure because of it =( I remember one lady breaking down and crying because she was afraid her husband would leave her because her stomach looked a lot like that chick's does. It sucked because I knew that all the products she was buying were frauds, but telling her the truth would just make her feel worse.
Okay, ramble, but this thread made me think of that lady and got me all defensive of the girl in the OP (plus I have way too much stored up knowledge about shit like this and I have to word vomit about it every so often).
