to be afraid that I am really ill and don't know it?

[suddenlyskinnygirl]

I have a 10 mth old DS who is a bit of a boob monster and feeds constantly.

I gained quite a lot of weight in pregnancy and decided about 3 months ago to try to lose it. It was slow at first but in the last 8 weeks has literally been dropping off with me eating about 1700 cals a day. I mean, losing 3lbs a week. I found this a bit worrying, obviously I was pleased at first but it does seem a lot and I haven't found it this easy to lose weight in the past.

Anyway I got down to 9 stone 7. I have just been on holiday for a week and literally done nothing but stuff my face, quite disgustingly, with packets of biscuits, bowls of chips, crisps, just total crap. I have got back and am actually a pound lighter than i was! Maybe it was watching Stand up to Cancer last night, and I know I have to see my GP if I am really worried, but I am genuinely scared I have cancer or something else serious as I am losing weight even when I am stuffing my face.

Its because you are breast feeding. I wish I was again. Lost so much weight and I could eat anything.
But once I stopped....OMG beware.!
