sounds like your line of thinking ahead of time was just setting yourself up to do just what you did.
of course, if you want to have the cake, then have the cake. but trying "not to have the cake" at the same time as telling yourself "i knew this would happen" is only going to result in the fullfillment of your doubts.
so you had the cake.... consider averaging your food intake over a full week and look at your calories injested over that timeframe instead of just a one-day hit. if you're expending more than you take in over a week, a one day glich isn't going to hurt you... unless you let it via how you internalize your feelings and thoughts over "how bad" you were.
you have the power.
just say no.
