Stretch marks after weight loss

I was on a sensible weight loss plan between the autumn and Christmas and lost about 1.5 stone. At New Years, my husband left me and I have lost nearly 2 stone since then. Suddenly I have stretch marks around my stomach. How can I get rid of them? Is this because I have lost weight quickly?

Congratulations on loosing weight and I hope you feel better off without the ex.

I got a lot of stretchmarks when I went through a growth spurt as a teen and again when I was pregnant. Some people have a predisposition for them. Bio oil helped 'heal' them, but it is hard to say as I have no way of knowing what they would have looked like if I had not used anything.

I see them as part of my body, my past and I think they are beautiful in some ways.
