I would say yes.
discipline is being able overcome the urges of the body with the power of the mind. Whether that's stopping yourself from drinking, eating, raging on the hockey rink, etc...
That doesn't take away the naturally occurring predespositions to obesity, addiction, etc... but I don't think it's a secret that overcoming those issues is, more than anything, an act of extreme discipline and self-regulation.
