Today was the first day of a long weekend celebrating my very good friend's birthday. We went to the Academy of Sciences during the Nightlife event where food and drinks are served. We ended up having dinner there. It's hard to know what to eat when you're out. Especially when it's somewhere you haven't been before. The Academy has a cafeteria-style dining area similar to a buffet. My course of action was to walk around the entire cafeteria to look at all the food options before making my decision. I wanted something hot and delicious. So I got a side of veggies, split a side of potatoes with my sister, and got the chicken for chicken tacos without the tortilla to put it all together. The chicken was greasier than I would have liked. It didn't look that way in the pan, but at least it wasn't something worse. The veggies weren't cooked with butter so I knew those were pretty safe. I'm not gonna lie: I had a bite of a spring roll, 2 spoons full of split pea soup, and 3 bites of an ice cream sandwich. Still, though, I'd say not bad. I resisted having any hard alcohol or mixed drinks and opted for a small glass of red wine instead. I resisted the urge to have my own delicious dessert and opted to nibble off of my sister's and friend's instead. I still felt satisfied without feeling like I'd over-indulged. It won't always work out that way, I'm sure, but for today I'm proud of myself for having some self control. Point: me! :)
