I blew it

I went to a wedding this past weekend. It was a lovely event, complete with thunderstorm as soon as the outdoor ceremony ended. I ate the food there too, and I kinda blew it. But when I say I blew it, I need to explain. I had a normal breakfast (1/2 protein shake, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese), a normal lunch (3 ounces of chicken, some salsa, 1/2 ounce of cheese) and a tiny snack (1/4 of a protein bar). At the wedding, I had 2 small slices of cheese, about 3 ounces of chicken,  about 1/2-2/3 cup of homemade macaroni and cheese, a little bit of salad with a few drops of dressing, and ONE ENTIRE WHOLE CUPCAKE. I was soooo full. I looked around myself at the other plates, and though I felt entirely stuffed, I realized I ate probably 1/4 what most people did. And I wasn't drinking either! So at the end of the day my calorie count was still under 1200, but I truly felt guilty because I overindulged. And the funny thing is...my body seems to have known because I haven't really lost any weight in a week. But these sorts of starts and stalls are normal, and going off-plan is also normal. What is important is that you get back on track again. I'm really glad I successfully navigated a wedding and I don't think anyone noticed I was eating oddly. And to be honest, that cupcake was damn good. But I'm back on track and ready to keep moving down.
