After a long night in formalwear—and losing out on the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy to Schitt's Creek star Catherine O'Hara—The Flight Attendant actor Kaley Cuoco drowned her sorrows in the most relatable way: with a ton of junk food.
Following her loss, Cuoco posted a photo of herself to Instagram in which she's surrounded by more than her fair share of treats. Holding a slice of pizza in one hand and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot in the other, Cuoco balances a chocolate cake—and some hair extensions—on her Oscar de la Renta gown. In front of her sits a partially-eaten pizza, a tray of mac and cheese, a box of cupcakes with one missing, and a cake with her face on it, from which a not-insignificant chunk has been eaten.

Cuoco says she likes to mix things up in the gym to keep from getting bored.
While yoga may be Cuoco's go-to workout, she admits that she likes to switch up her routine to avoid getting bored. "If I'm doing yoga, we're doing it every day this week….Then I'm like, 'Oh my god, I have to switch.' Then I'm going crazy on SoulCycle….'Okay, I have to switch,'" she explained to Women's Health.
During the pandemic, Cuoco revealed that she had found yet another workout she loved: jumping rope. "My newest obsession during COVID/quarantine!

Even with the benefit of personal chefs and nutritionists available to them, stars can find themselves having a hard time making healthy eating a priority—something Cuoco's admitted to struggling with in the past.
After falling into a habit of "mindless eating." Cuoco told Shape, "Our refrigerator and pantry have completely changed…No more soda, chips, cereal; we had boxes of stuff that only a 4-year-old would eat."
But, she says that cheat days have always been an essential part of her balance.
However, that doesn't mean she sticks to a Spartan diet, either. Even when she's not lamenting losing out on a major award, Cuoco makes regular cheat meals part of her eating plans.
"I have to have a cheat day," Cuoco told Shape. "I know when I'm being good all week long that come Sunday, I'm going to lie by the pool, have a drink, and eat some pizza. Then I wake up on Monday morning and I'm all ready to start the week again."
