I am, by all accounts, what one would consider a confident person. I profess the importance of high self-esteem and a strong sense of self, as any millennial should. But like so many of my sisters, I have fallen into the fatal mindset that because I am not a size six or less, I am not worthy of love and reverence. My beautiful mother has been on a series of strenuous diets for as long as I can remember and I have found myself repeating her mistakes with cyclical dieting and subsequent self-loathing when they prove unsuccessful. After spending nine days with nude strangers on a boat in the Eastern Caribbean, I feel a new sense of empowerment, hopefully for good. As part of our partnership, a coworker and myself joined the Bare Necessities team on one of their signature nine-day voyages, aptly named the Big Nude Boat, to gain a better understanding of their consumer, their business and their opportunities. I thought that even if I did take off my clothes, I would only do it to say I did it and then quickly redress myself. Well, I danced on a cruise ship nightclub full of naked people every night for a week.
