Yeah...my girls ruined my body, in that I still have excess skin on my stomach and so many stretch marks I haven't put on a swimsuit in seventeen years (until the ones I just bought, that are 50s style and cover my very-upper-thigh marks). What they didn't ruin is my figure. There's a difference. I still own and wear clothing I had when I got married. There is absolutely nothing about having a baby that means you can't lose weight after. I gained too much with #1 (thanks to the ridiculous diet in WHAT TO EXPECT) but lost it within six months or so, and with #2, when I ate like a normal person instead of believing some shitty book, I was back in my pre-preg jeans in about six weeks. If you don't eat like a pig while pregnant and only gain baby weight instead of extra fat, it's pretty easy to snap back.
