Christianity is all about taking crap in stride because Jesus died for us. The least we can do is believe that God still loves us even if some meanie says mean things to us.
Not just taking crap in stride but actively denying the flesh what it wants. You become disciplined and learn to control your desires rather than letting your desires control and enslave you. That's why fasting and penance is so important in traditional Christianity. Certainly gluttony is the most repulsive and gross of all the deadly sins.
