| Hi, my name is Cathy. All my life I have struggled with my weight. I am a compulsive over eater and live a sedentary life. Quite a few years ago, probably back in 1988 or 1989, after the birth of my son, I lost weight working out to Bodies in Motion. Gilads mother was on there then! Well, its been a rollercoaster ride ever since. Just 5 years ago, I had lost a total of about 85 lbs. Now, I have gained more than 1/2 of it back. I have trouble sticking with anything (except food) but figured I'd try Gilad again. The problem I'm having is I am so fat, flabby and out of shape, I can't keep up and I can't do 1/2 the workout. I do my best to just keep going but I'm short, fat, broad shouldered and large boned on a petite body. I am getting very discouraged after only 1 week. When my arms are supposed to be tucked in, they're not, they can't be, when I'm supposed to be in certain positions, I just physically cant' do it. If I could describe myself, I'd say I look like an "oumpa loumpa" and the "blueberry girl" all in one. I have never in my life, even when I was thin, been able to sit "indian style" yet alone bend forward to stretch while doing it! I've been trying to find out if there is a beginners video for slow, out of shape, unpliable people like me to lessen my discouragement and think that maybe some day I can do it? At least being able to keep up would be beneficial for me to be able to pursue this. Thank you |
