First, I do sympathize with you. It must be hard to be so young and feel that your body is forever altered and no longer ‘perfect.’ But please, learn to love your body for what it does, not how it looks. The female body is amazing and does what no man can do — it provides the perfect environment for the growing human fetus, and then gives birth to a perfect little child. I have had two children, and with each pregnancy my body changed. Yes, I have stretch marks and my stomach sticks out. After my second child was born, I weighed 160, and I’m only 5’4′! I’ve lost nearly 30 pounds since then, but still don’t look good in a bikini, and I probably never will. (Then again, I’m almost 40, so I know that doesn’t bother me as much as it would have when I was 19!). But the amazing and wonderful thing my body did — it grew two whole children inside! — is what makes me love my body in spite of its flaws. When I look at my two beautiful children, and realize how much I love them, I am amazed and I love my body — stretch marks and all — for bringing them to me. My advice: wear things that look pretty on your body as it is, whether it’s a bikini or a one-piece swim suit, pants or a skirt or a dress; don’t constantly compare yourself to air-brushed photos of models in magazines; and learn to love your body for bringing you your beautiful child. Good luck.
