[Snip] Here’s a secret, seekers: practically everyone struggles with the skyclad thing initially. It’s normal, and it doesn’t mean you’re unfit for Gardnerian training.
Here’s another secret: body insecurity is not the exclusive domain of one body type (which, to be clear, is not to say that all body issues are equal). I don’t know a single person who doesn’t struggle sometimes. I hated my body when I was an overweight teenager. I still hated it when I lost the weight and became a competitive athlete. I always thought I was fat. I hated my skin, I hated my butt, I was ashamed of my self-injury scars, I cried in every dressing room, and I succumbed to all of the weight-loss-cellulite-cream-bullshit that people profiting off of my self-hatred could throw at me.
It was working skyclad that helped me to finally overcome a lot of those insecurities.
