Feeling so guilty.
"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore" Vincent Van Gogh
If your goal is to eat perfectly all the time, I still don't think you're doing a horrible job but you're not quite there yet. Unfortunately, I doubt you'll ever get there. People aren't perfect. We just aren't. So you probably won't be, either.
If your goal is to eat reasonably healthy stuff and enjoy life, then I think you're doing fine. Eating some cake on your one year anniversary won't make you fat (unless you are getting divorced and remarried A LOT, and if that's the case, you have bigger problems than your weight to worry about!).

So for today, how about letting yourself choose "good enough" instead of perfect or horrible?

I think you should stop feeling guilty and from this point make choices you feel better with. Can't go back and change what you ate, you can only control how you proceed. If you have not had dinner yet, start there. Have a great RNY dinner of all protein with some veggies. Jump back to basic tomorrow and just move on. You had an anniversary and you had a good time. It is going to happen....you have your whole life ahead of you. In the past, on diets, when you eat "bad" you felt guilty. Did that work for you? Probably not since we ended up with RNY surgery.
New Habits are key. When you feel like you are going off course, don't feel guilty cause you are allowed to eat a taco, and a piece of cake, just not everyday. So just get back on track. That is probably something we did not do before surgery that we can do now.
Did you try on a pair of 12 pants yet today? You should go do that if you have some, I bet they would fit and make you feel better.
