How to say "moment of weakness"?


is there a good expression for the English "a moment of weakness"?

For example: In a moment of weakness, I strayed from my diet and ate some
cookies.

I tried looking through alc but couldn't really find anything that seemed to
sound right.




Depending on context, I think you could probably say...

> 「誘惑に負けて、（つい）...」  
>  「 （つい）魔が差して、...」  
>  「一時の気の迷いで...」
