Gwyneth Paltrow has it real rough and puts it into perspective so that all of us minions can understand:

“After my first pregnancy, the weight had come off a little bit better but after the second one it was really stubborn. It was really hanging on,” she said, according to the Press Association. “It was not easy and, when I started it, it was by far the hardest thing I have ever done – but I really was seeing results so it motivated me to just work through it.”

By far the hardest thing she ever did? She gave birth to two children.  She buried her father. This is why people are irritated by Gwyneth. I don’t think most people can relate to that statement.  That’s not to say losing weight is easy because everyone knows it’s not. And I would like to think she didn’t mean to sound like an elitist snob.

But not to worry, trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson helped her out with two-hour work out sessions but for those that can’t afford Tracy, Gwyneth tells you that shouldn’t be an excuse:

“Every woman can make time – every woman – and you can do it with your baby in the room,” she said. “There have been countless times where I’ve worked out with my kids crawling around all over the place. You just make it work, and if it’s important to you, it’ll be important to them.”

I do agree that everyone can make time.  People make excuses for sure but I doubt the average working woman with kids can work out two hours a day unless of course she had assistants, managers, trainers and chefs.
