So i've been on a very strict low calorie diet since jan 6. I was losing weight at first but I haven't lost any weight since the beginning of feb. When I was in the e-room with abdomenal pain, they found a cyst on my pancreas. Would this have any effect on my insulin production? I only am eating about 1200 calories a day getting most of the calories from salad. I'm desperate to lose weight but I can't cut my calories any more than I have b/c i'm still breastfeeding my 14 week old. I exercise 4 days a week for 20 minutes on the gazelle. *sigh* I need to lose about 80 pounds and I wanted to do it before my daughter's first birthday... I feel like a failure! I am so desperate that I think I am actually becoming anorexic... I even thought about switching my daughter to formula just so I could starve myself... I even feel so strongly about this that I have had feelings that i'd rather be dead then be fat for another year... I think i'm sick.... I'm so obsessed with my weight.... What do I do?

omg no, even though i never had a baby i dont think you should do that, one might be bad for ur baby and also really bad for u, you know what u cant think about death, because where would that leave your child? i know you wanna lose weight we all do but u need to stay strong for you and ur daughter, right now i havent found the answer to not be weight consumed but if i do ill tell the whole entire world! keep us posted on how everything is going, dont give up hope!
