It's not easy to explain, I'll try with a very stupid example: I'm always trying to follow my slimming diet, but everyday my friends offer to me chocolate and sweets, I try to resist temptation to eat them but I can't because my mind is willing, but the flesh is weak! it's a very very stupid example
