:/
So I started dating the man of my dreams but I'm feeling super self conscious about myself. He is super fit and I'm not. Should I let him know how I feel? Also does this make anyone else feel self conscious?

Another opinion that you're looking amazing at least in your user-pic, nothing to be ashamed of. And if he was only after your looks, that wouldn't last anyway.
It's usual for people to feel self-conscious, of course, and ultimately you have to remember different people prefer different looks and it's not always what you'd expect. But looks aren't *everything*, and as you're experiencing, dating someone who you judge to be "perfect looking" can actually be pretty stressful and not always desirable.
Not sure what you mean about "let him know how you feel"; usually I think that's the best recourse, but a more difficult question would be how to express it.
