I have met someone who I really like. He is a fantastic person in so many ways. It is getting to the point where we will take it to the next level soon BUT I am so worried that when he sees my body he won't fancy me anymore.
I have lost nearly three stone and down to a size 12/14. However, I am only 5'2 and after having two huge babies (9lb12 and 11lbs!) and two c-sections, I have a really horrible tummy and hundreds of stretch marks. I exercise regularly but I have been told that no matter what I do, I will always have the excess skin around my tummy because it was stretched so much during pregnancy and the c-sections cut through my stomach muscles. I would have a tummy tuck tomorrow but I don't have the money and they've turned me down on the NHS.
He tells me he finds me gorgeous but I think he'll change his mind when he sees me naked.
I'm worried I will always have this problem and that men will find my body awful and I'll never be in a relationship again. It gets me down so so much.
My sister has told me that confidence in the bedroom is a turn-on even without the perfect body so I should try and get over it - easier said than done though........
