temptation is real

I think my sense of intellect and awareness has been 

so buried by my body - that I have seen issues of desire

and attraction without a sense of stopgap. The reason

why I don't go indulging every little whim is because

it can be really bad for me. I know that sounds incredibly

plain and simple. During the day I am so tempted to buy a 

Starbucks sweet drink of somekind - or to take that extra cookie

or coffee with sugar. All that in measure is ok - but I find it

will drain my bank account and expand my waistline hugely. 

So like I am, and have been starting to write here lately, - This similar

idea about temptation can translate to the fact that I must not be tempted

to write just here - but I need to extend myself as well as watch

my wallet to get along in life the way I want and need to. ( again I am tempted

to stay insular and also spend money and it's a drive I must steer better)

Simple math it may be but I always had a kind of equivocation

about 'why I should deny myself' - when in fact it's self preservation.
