Too fat for yoga- haha

Ok, so I can confindently say that a lot of yoga poses are not made for fat people. Why can I say that? Because, yes I am a fat person, and I can't do many of the poses, not becauase I"m not flexible enough, but because my fat rolls get in the way. Its actually quite depressing to be the fattest one in the room, and that I can't do half the poses because my arms won't hold my weight. Sigh. I think the instructor noticed that I was having trouble, for when I could actually do a pose, he made sure to compliment me, when he wasn't complimenting anyone else for other poses. I can't do the pose or ossena (sp?) where you're right knee is bent, and your left leg is back, and you're supposed to put your forhead flat on your knee....nope, doesn't work, no matter how I try and move my bulk around to do it, there's just too much fat in the way for me to bend that way. Its so depressing. I can see why people gain more weight and dont' exercise, for its just down right uncomfortable and depressing when you can't do many of the poses. Who wants to go to a gym when they are fat too? Do you know what its like going to a gym when you're the fattest person there??? Highly discouraging and highly depressing. Makes people want to go eat. I don't think I eat emotionally.... or I only eat more when I'm bored. I don't eat more when I'm angry or depressed....only when I'm bored. I think I'm going to try an appetite suppressant to see if I can cut the hungry feeling in the afternoon when I'm sitting at my desk. We'll see how that goes. And, yes, I'll continue to go to yoga, despite the difficulty... I figure if I keep up with it, it might help. I"m also going to check out a DVD for yoga for weight loss.... I took a class, and now I know at least the basic poses that one is to do, so that a DVD shouldnt' that be too far of a stretch....

Ok, I'm done venting now... I'm going to eat my lunch....
