Temptation and the need for self-discipline

   One of the best examples of the need for exercising self-
   discipline in life is in regard to eating.  In our modern 
   lifestyle everyone is continually being tempted by junk food of 
   various kinds.  Vending machines are everywhere tempting us 
   with all kinds of food and drink that is fattening and bad for 
   our health.  If one didn't restrain and regulate himself he 
   would find himself becoming obese in a hurry.  Because of all 
   the conveniences and ease of modern life most people just don't 
   burn enough calories to handle large overloads of calorie 
   intake.  If they don't govern themselves they become fat and 
   then suffer all the health consequences of that condition.  All 
   around us are examples of people who have fallen into this 
   trap.
