Lesbian relationship - Body Image Issues?

I'm starting to date a girl who's a fitness buff. She runs, plays softball, and has very flat abs and strong arms (but is also feminine and beautiful - not some sort of Hulk!) I'd guess she's a size 0... you could bounce quarters off those tight abs.

As for me, I'm a size 4, but I have a belly and my arms aren't very toned. Furthermore, I used to weigh a lot growing up. I was a size 18 at my highest. I've lost a ton of weight years ago and have kept the weight off, but have some faded stretch marks on my body as a reminder of that.

She's soo sweet, and funny, and we have amazing conversations. I'm just worried about having sex with her - half of me really wants to connect with her on that level, but the other half is scared she'll be repulsed because she's so into fitness and has such an amazing body. Then there's me... still have body fat and still have faded stretch marks as a souvenir from the past.

If I went from a size 18 to a size 4, I'm sure I could improve my body even more for her.

What do I do? Talk to her about how I feel? Initiate sex and hope she doesn't say anything? Tell her it won't work out between us and find someone who prioritizes health/fitness less?
