Actually yes, but too much of a good thing can also be a bad thing. There is

a syndrome known as " exercise bulimia. " The term is pretty

self-descriptive - exercise is taken to an extreme, and can wreak about as

much havoc with the body as overweight.

Hmmmm... haven't heard about " cleaning bulimia " though, although I know a

few OCD neat-freaks. Always felt sorry for them; they are always unhappy

because nothing is ever clean enough for them.

It's always something. I'll stick with what I have - the devil I know...
