the brain's full-throated argument for the thing you swore off yesterday
means The pull toward something appealing that you know you probably shouldn't do or want, and the act of being lured by it.
from From Latin 'temptare' (also spelled 'tentare'), meaning to test, try, or probe — the same root that gives us 'attempt' and 'tempt.' The word came into English through Old French 'temptacion' and carried a strong religious charge, since in early Christian usage 'temptation' was the devil's testing of the soul. So at its core, a temptation is a trial — life poking at you to see whether you'll hold.
