Like others who suffer from the clinical eating disorder known as anorexia nervosa, Daigle got hooked on the success of her initial weight loss and found she couldn't stop. She recalls, "I just started dieting and I saw myself losing. When I started losing, I liked it and I kept going, kept going ... I never thought I was skinny enough ... It got to a point that I was afraid to even let food touch my mouth."
Fortunately for Daigle, in the midst of her battle with disordered eating, she became interested in the sport of bodybuilding. Bodybuilding demands good nutrition, and her passion for the sport helped her to overcome her aversion to food.
Nearly 40 years after her disordered eating began, Daigle is an award-winning bodybuilder and is finally coming to terms with food and her body.
About bodybuilding, the sport that may have saved her life, she says, "It's just healthy and I just believe in it ... It's an achievement. And it's not with drugs, it's just with hard training and eating. Eating right."
