Same rules apply as any other night.

Peppermint tea and water if I need anything after 8pm.

I'm eating Doritos out of a big bag. I can't stop. But I'll hit the gym tonight and ignore results until tomorrow.

Tacos, there will soon be a stand on every corner, I am told.

Blini and vodka (neat), in honor of our new overlords.

My go to comfort foods are usually buttered pasta and pudding, but I can eat waaaaaay too much of either of those.

Another very calming drink is as follows: hot milk with a little sugar, vanilla, and brandy. It may be the most calming thing one can drink and will put you to sleep if you need the help. (For teetotalers, hot milk with honey in it is also good.)

This is a great drink. Whisky is good too even though it's totally gross by itself. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon. And I do honey, not sugar. It can be relaxing at bedtime, and filling too if you eat small dinners and no dessert like me.

I think you should let go of your waistline and be fat and comfortable today. I am picking up fancy mac & cheese and french fries tonight from a nice restaurant. I actually ate the same thing the night of the presidential election but I refuse to believe it's bad luck. Even though I haven't gotten it since. Good lord, it BETTER not be bad luck. I don't want to be killing the country just so I can eat my fancy mac & cheese.

If it all goes south tonight I am totally blaming you.

Shit, maybe you're right. The bitch of it is, the health department in my city rates all restaurants, and my old go-to Chinese place that used to have a score of like 98 now has a score of 73 and I can't go there anymore. I haven't found any other good restaurants that are literally on my way home. This country NEEDS me though. I could get the mac & cheese tomorrow. Just skip today. Yes, thank you for setting me straight. Just voting is not enough anymore. These are desperate times.
