Feeling Fat :(

I had one of those days today.
The day started off fine, I had a healthy breakfast of porridge and a banana, then it all went downhill from there. I was at a funeral that ran through lunch (was at 1pm) and went from the service, to the cemetery then to a local pub where sandwiches, sausage rolls and cakes were being served. My stomach had been rumbling a bit at the cemetery when it was really quiet and I had to eat something for my lunch. I had about 3 or 4 mini sausage rolls and 2 finger sandwiches then broke down and had 2 bitesize cakes. I really don't know why, but I felt so guilty. I don't usually eat cakes voluntarily, but when they were there, staring me in the face and people were saying 'would you like a cake', I don't know why I couldn't say no!
After the funeral, I just wasn't in the mood to work out so decided to make today my rest day, but because I'd eaten 2 cakes after the funeral, I just felt so fat and like my stomach was twice the size it normally is.
I've also realised (stupidly) that wearing my pedometer for daily activities and walking around work to log my calories isn't what I should be doing in terms of exercise (because that's already included in my BMR) and I REALLY need to up my exercise regime which makes me think I'm not really trying in comparison to many others I've seen on here.

I know it's only been one day, but I'm actually feeling really upset about this now and just wanted to vent my feelings for a bit.

Also, any advice on logging calories when eating out/going to social events...been going out to dinner with my friends a lot recently and I get really stuck when trying to work out what is actually in the food I'm eating - I like to make my own food more now so I know exactly what's going in it and how much. I decided not to log my calories for the day because I didn't know exactly what I was eating over lunch and I wasn't doing any exercise...oh, I was also at a 21st birthday tonight and there was a buffett...I only had one trip (which I was rather proud of) but I still feel a pang of guilt when I go along the line...
