[quote=Anonymous]I think this question is beyond the expertise of most DCUM's. 500 calories is definitely far too little to be healthy for you, but you know that.  I have read that BF'ing burns 750 calories a day. I don't know whether your body will use all 500 calories you eat and take the other 250 from your body or whether your baby won't get the nutrition she needs. But,  either way,  you are going to be in no shape to care of her.  Also, you may be permanently affecting her appetite and health, biologically, and you are setting her up for a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits modeled on yours. Get help NOW from a mental health counselor and nutritionist. I feel for you,  but the fact you are asking this means you know you are in trouble. Take care of yourself in order to give your baby the best possible start in life.

I would willingly have a disfiguring facial scar if it made a difference in my kids being healthy or unhealthy.  You can be "fat" (in your own eyes and, as only you believe, everyone elses's) for your baby girl's health.[/quote]
