[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

[Lisamaria Martinez]

So here's my problem ... I've done all the crash dieting for judo in
order to cut down to a weight class or two and all of that has really
screwed with my head.

I know junk food is bad. I know exercise is good for me and I would
totally do more of it if the day had about an extra hour or two a day.
But for someone who should drop about 20 pounds, the idea of "dieting"
brings up some really emotional baggage. So what does one do?

Sometimes, picking up that fork and taking bites of an all you can eat
dessert bar sounds great and you want to do it because 10, 15, years
ago you were forced to eat 900 calories a day until you lost the
weight your coaches told you to lose and you were told to go run 2
miles while your coach followed you in his car to make sure you ran
them. I mean seriously, sometimes the whole concept of eating right
makes me want to sit down with a bucket of Chunky Monkey.
