I realized I have to take this weight loss really serious...
... after I discovered several moons orbiting my ass today morning!
The whole Size 0 obsession and so on..
Size 0 is a women's clothing size in the US catalog sizes system, believed to be equivalent to a UK size 4, a European size 32, Italian size 36, an Australian size 4, or a men's size 21.
Modern size 0 clothing, depending on brand and style, will fit measurements of anywhere from 30-22-32 inches (76-56-81 cm) to 33-25-35 inches (84-64-89 cm).

Holy crap, looks like I got a long way to go. But that's ok, I'm in no hurry, this month I wanna lose minimum of 8 lbs (tho 13 lbs is really my goal), so I have no idea how much it will really shrink from my waist or hips but I know I won't be anywhere near size 0 just yet.
And I just realized.. the size of my waist will pretty much have to be the same as the current size of my thigh.. where the hell will my insides go?
So how much will I really be able to drop this month?
According to my calculations, I need to limit myself to 400 kcal a day to lose 2 lbs a week.
Some smart website calculated that my body burns 1400 kcal daily just to function, that doesn't include any kind of activity. And to lose 1 lbs I need to make a deficit of 3500 kcal, which means I need a deficit of 7000 kcal to drop 2 lbs a week. That would mean I need to cut 1000 calories from the 1400, which leaves me with 400 calories.
And that's if I don't work out at all. If I somehow manage to burn extra 500 kcal a day (which actually shouldn't be so hard with all the walking and house tasks I do every day), I should be losing 3 lbs weekly. At the end of the month that should give me 12 lbs, which would nearly make me reach my goal!
So by Halloween my scale should show 121 lbs. Being realistic I know it will be extremaly hard for me to limit myself to 400 kcal a day, but the deal is: if I cross the 400 calories in my intake, I just have to work out a little more and burn the excess (on the top of the 500 calories I have to burn anyway).
Now, that my goals are set and that my ultimate goal to reach is the dream size 0, I just gotta motivate myself even more by getting some amazing piece of clothing in that exact size!
Time to get my today's 40 points! I'll post them at the end of day.
