Second day in a row the scale has been nice to me : )

I just decided I was not allowed to freak out about it not budging and be patient - like all of your comments said : ) So that's what I did. I am aiming for a caloric intake of around 1300-1500 calories a day with a net of between 500 and 1000, which means I have to burn at least 300 calories a day on my low end, but 500-1000 if I eat more. It is definitely do-able and I know that I will lose at this rate - maybe only a pound a week, but slow and steady wins the race.

I bought this costume off of ebay yesterday size small, with shipping it is only costing me $12.50.
Arrgh mateys, I'm a hot sexy Pirate.
I don't know what possessed me to buy it. I don't think that I'll have the guts to wear it, my stomach just isn't flat enough right now - if it were, I'd be wearing the harem girl costume I already own. Plus, I just bought $30 worth of material and accessories for this costume:

Mad Alice from American McGee's Alice (videogame)

I own boots, I got the tights and the knife for like $7 at joann fabrics, the rest of I spent was fabric and thread. I just have to buy fake blood, a white stuffed rabbit to dismember, and then make the thing (should take me a weekend). The costume sells for like $60-80 depending on which store you buy. So I know I didn't spend alot for either costume.

I think the Alice costume is winning out as what I will wear this year, just because it's got a scary/cool factor that the slutty pirate doesn't. It's just a slutty pirate.  But, we shall see, if I get invited to more than one even, I might wear both... of course, I don't even know if the pirate costume will fit yet! So I shouldn't count my costumes before they arrive.

Both are very cute. I've always wanted to be a slutty something for Halloween. If I ever have a party to go to I so will. And yes. I have gotten so much better about being patient and not freaking. It's hard sometimes but it saves you a whole lot of emotions.
