These cubes of resin contain chicken nuggets and fries from fast food. After finding that my body was intolerant to saturated fats, causing health ailments, I cut it from my diet, but this was not a clean cut, temptation still takes hold. When it is in front of me I think "Just one bite won’t do any harm," but this is not as simple as it sounds, an urge tries to force me into devouring the remaining pieces. It takes all of my seemingly weak willpower, screaming the consequences in my ear, to stop this temptation. To prevent this I took these bites from my mouth, encasing the bolus and remaining greasy food into resin, physically preventing me from taking another bite, and the continued testing of my now weakened willpower could end.
