well, I totally blew it!

Today, I went to a wedding. I had planned all week to use my 35 extra points at the reception to have a piece of wedding cake. When I got to the reception I started through the line and they had the nicest, biggest plates. I proceeded to fill mine up! 2 sausage balls, 2 chicken nuggets, 2 mints, a cracker with cheese spread (I would have gotten 2 but it took too long to spread the cheese spread on the cracker) a few nuts, 4 shrimp, and 2 rolled up winnie things. I totally bypassed the fruit and the vegetables. I got a cup of punch (full of sugar) and then proceeded to the "Ice Cream Sundae" line. YES! They actually had ice cream sundaes. I've never been to a wedding where they served ice cream at the reception before. All the toppings you could want for. I got 2 scoops of vanilla (they were small scoops), some caramel topping, some chocolate topping, and whipping cream. I found a table and consumed it all! After a while, they cut the cake -- here's my chance to use my 35 points, as if I hadn't already. Oh, and then there was the groom's cake - I only had a very small piece of it. ;~[

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

Haven't I learned to eat better than this? I thought I had. I've been doing this Weight Watchers thing for 18 weeks now and this is the first time I've blown it so I really shouldn't be too hard on myself but then on the other hand I am REALLY disappointed in myself.

If I had it to do over again, this is what I would do:

I would skip the sausage balls, chicken nuggets, mints, rolled up winnie things, cheese spread and cracker, ice cream and toppings, and groom's cake.

I would have loaded up on fruit and veggies first, gotten some shrimp and nuts, a piece of wedding cake, MAYBE a scoop of ice cream and I would have asked for some water - hope that wouldn't have been too rude.

What do you think?
