[quote=Anonymous]Oh, honey, you're hurting your child, but probably not nutritionally, since evidently breastmilk doesn't change that much even in famine conditions (at least according to the nutrient analysis I've seen).

Having a new baby is SO stressful, and of course without help you're going to fall back on your anorexic tendencies. I, too, battled an eating disorder, will always have that lurking in me. But my closest college friend (who also had an eating disorder, even more severe than mine because she refused to seek help for a long time) and I both have something in common: mothers with extremely disordered eating. Please take care of yourself, for your daughter's sake. I still want so badly to be able to control my MOM, to change HER, to help HER, and I realize how much of this I enact upon my own body. It takes a long time, maybe forever, to get out of the habit of disordered eating. Your daughter is already watching you. Really.

Hugs. The hormones, everything, about this time are so hard. You need to be kind to your body so you can be around for your precious baby for a long, long time.[/quote]
