Lol, indeed. Fortunately, your body uses up lots and lots of calories just keeping itself warm, running your brain, growing your hair and digesting your food. Depending on your height/weight/age, you probably burn between 1200 and 1600 calories a day just existing, even if you never do anything but lie in bed and eat. This is called your Basal Metabolic Rate. All the walking around, cleaning your house, DDR and etc are extra calories burned on top of your BMR.
There are lots of calorie calculators on line that will help you to figure out how many calories it takes your body to run itself each day, and once you know that, you can figure out what kind of calorie deficit you should create through diet and exercise. Also, there is a calorie counters forum here at 3FC if you want to get some more help working everything out.
(But exercise is always a good thing!!! You just shouldn't do it in a sauna suit.)
