I'm starting to get depressed about my body.

Everyone around me is starting the year out trying to get in shape-joining gyms, going on diets, etc. Now, I know most of them will not continue it for long, but I feel so...fat.

It's not even so much being pregnant that I mind, because I know I only have a few more months, but I'm terrified of what my body is going to look like after my baby comes. I feel like I'm going to have permanent extra skin and stretch marks and my body will never be the same.

If you already have kids, did your body ever go back to normal? Or have any suggestions on how I can speed up the process?
