NSV - Not Binging at a Party!

For those of you who don't know, I work part-time in the theatre industry while I attend law school full-time. What this means is that, occasionally, I have the opportunity to go to Opening Night events for various Broadway performances here in NY, and that also means that I'm faced with unlimited free alcoholic beverages, mountains of gourmet food, and a plethora of delicious baked goods/sweets.
While this would normally sound like Heaven, it is a dieter's hell. As someone who is often tried for time and funds, it's hard to turn down free, already prepared food, especially when it's prepared by Bobby Flay.
I can't say that I was an angel. I did breakdown and have 1 pint of beer (I went with the Heartland Brewery Indian Pale Ale), and I had 1/4 cup of mac and cheese, but I abstained from the mashed potatoes, the alfredo, and even the elaborately laid out dessert islands.
For me, that's a non scale victory worth sharing!
