Don't beat yourself up if you falter. It's normal, and probably won't make a jot of difference in a long term lifestyle change as long as you pick up where you temporarily left off. Log everything, even items you feel embarrassed or guilty about having eaten. Your diary is for you and you alone, to see where you can make changes and help yourself to foster and sustain your new eating habits.
