Weakness of will
Can the process called weakness of will be defined as follows:
A person has the option of eating pork and the option of not eating it, and he decides, based on all considerations (religious belief in this case), not to eat it, and this is essentially his will.
He decides to act according to his will and not eat.
Then he encounters the third stage of actual difficulty of not eating the pig (he stands in front of the pig and he really suddenly experiences difficulty not eating it). He did not calculate this difficulty beforehand (at most he assumed there would be a difficulty, but he did not assume it would be so strong).
Then comes the stage where he considers what is more precious to him: the divine command or the fulfillment of his desires, and he chooses to fulfill his desires and eats the pork.
At the moment he ate the pig, the value of fulfilling his desire was more precious to him.
And after he devoured the pork and satisfied his lust, the desire to keep the divine commandment returns to center stage, and again, as in stage 1, he thinks that the difficulty in not eating pork is not that great, and he regrets that he did not choose not to eat pork. Is the definition correct or incomplete?

The pole of the argument is that when a person, before making the actual choice, is detached from the actual difficulty and only imagines the difficulty he is going to experience, but the difficulty he actually experiences at the time of the action is greater and he chooses at that moment a free choice with comfort (eating pork).
After the action, the person regrets not choosing the divine command and in fact decides that he did not choose correctly at the practical stage, i.e. he decides that the value of the divine command is more valuable than the value of eating pork combined with the difficulty he has already experienced and is aware that
the person has actually changed and is a new person with repentance who criticizes his wrong decision (in his opinion at the moment, then in his opinion it would have seemed appropriate), regrets it (confesses and accepts the reason for not making it again in the future (he may not succeed because he is again not correctly assessing the difficulty)
And I say again that you describe and not explain. Weakness of will by definition means that I want one thing and do something else. That is exactly what you describe. But it is only a description of what is called weakness of will and not an explanation of the difficulty.
There is a difficulty about this description, and it is the one that causes this philosophical-psychological problem, and as mentioned you did not answer it.
The difficulty assumes that a person does not do something against his will. And if he fails, it means that this is what he really wanted (he prefers pleasure or not dealing with the difficulty over the desire to observe the halakha). Alternatively, if he did it against his will, there must have been something that forced him to do it. If so, he was forced and again there is no need to make a teshuva. You did not answer that.
