This programme just woke me up. My sis was telling about how fun the show is and all. It was not until recently that I watched one show. It took me completely off guard. Before I watched, I was of the notion that of course, I am smarter than a fifth grader. 100 %. This is a no brainer.

It started as a fun game show to watch on a boring eening. However, as the show progressed, I realised somethis is wrong. You are outdated. And you are not match even to a first grader. That was a big insult! I saw the looks on the faces of the contestant. Man he was sweating. And the classmate he opted for was cool, reserved and locked in the answer just in a matter of seconds.

Haha, welcome to the real world wahi. Well, like a good student I always was and am, I accepted my defeat and am now in the process of rediscovering myself. I have shared some tips and hindsight in the following article. Do read and see if you could pick up something that you could apply as well.

Bulimia is a particular eating disorder where the victim indulges in excessive eating and purging. They indulge in foods that are fattening and high in calories; even if they are not hungry. This is followed by the feeling of guilt accompanied by attempting to remove the food from their body through methods such as vomiting.

Bulimia nervosa is different from anorexic nervosa in one aspect. Bulimics indulge in food while anorexic do the opposite. Bulimics and Anorexics mostly display similar symptoms.

In America itself, the number of bulimics would fall within the range of 2%-6%. Percentage wise, this may seem to be a small number. However, if you translate that to the actual amount, it can add up to quite a big number.
