Well what do you expect?

[nyxelestia]

Everyone in fandom goes on and on about embracing all body types (sometimes, though thankfully rarely, to the point of sheer ridiculousness) and fat acceptance and all, and other point of extreme acceptance, and then you go out into the real world and it's all exactly the opposite, constantly telling you that you should be ashamed of yourself and not even appear in public due to your body type.

Of course you're afraid. It would be like taking a sheltered home-schooled child who'd been raised on pacific ideology and media and suddenly shoving them into a public school where fights break out every recess and half the classes. The sheer contrast alone is terrifying, let alone the ramifications of what you're jumping from to what you're diving into.

And you know what? That's okay. Being afraid is okay. It's letting that fear stop you that's the problem.

I'm sure you've heard every pithy quote about course being the defiance of fear, not the absence of it, so I'm not going to say them myself. That interpretation of courage is popular for a reason.

If you go to a yoga class while still afraid, I can't promise that you will be any less afraid once your class is over, and I can't even promise that you will accept your body more or become less self-conscious or anything like that. You know what you will have done, though? Done something you were afraid to do. And that's if nothing else happens. I emphasize that because if you go to a yoga class - and keep going, not just quitting after the first or second session - there's a good chance you'll accept your body more or become less self-conscious, or you'll end up on a fitness kick big enough to lose the weight and become 'skinny', whatever that means to you. Who knows.

So be afraid, and take that fear into yoga class with you, and even in the worst case scenario short of not going, you'll come out a boss.

(And if you don't mind me being a bit insensitive, being a 'fatass' will give you an advantage over skinnier girls with certain types of yoga poses that involve balancing on said ass ;D).
