You're not alone. I basically did that last week with no birthday or any other event as an excuse! Falling back into those bad habits can be tough to break completely. Right now I'm giving myself permission to be better at it but not "perfect," because every time I shoot for "perfection" in that way I seem to let myself down. So focus on your good changes and work on lessening the other habits so they don't keep you too far from your goals. But don't beat yourself up over it, really. It doesn't help. I think of it as my alcoholism or drug addiction - would I beat myself up for being an addict? No, I hope not anyway, I would recognize I have a problem and that I need to keep working on it so it doesn't mess up my life. Just know it is your struggle to deal with and do the best you can. 15 pounds lost and the habit changes you described are definitely accomplishments, no matter what else happens over a weekend.
