Bulimia - A medical condition characterized by insatiable overeating, involving a distorted body image and bouts of overeating followed by depression and self-induced vomiting, purging, or fasting.
Bulimia-related purging can result in a loss of valuable minerals and nutrients, creating irregular heartbeats and an increase in the potential for heart failure and death. Because of their binge-purge cycle, victims of Bulimia often maintain normal body weights, so it is difficult for outsiders to spot this condition.

Overtraining - Training too hard or for too long, past the point of healthiness.
This condition is a rare psychological state mostly found in competitive athletes, but it is still possible to experience as a normal citizen. Typical signs include insomnia, fatigue, headaches, elevated morning pulse, and decreased resistance to colds, sore throats, and other illnesses.

Moderation is the key.
