Like you, I can usually set a goal and accomplish it. That is, except when it comes to my body. My body has failed me many times. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what goal I set or how well I train. I can run 15 miles a week for months, do intervals and strength training, be in tip-top shape... still, one mild respiratory infection, or one very cold morning, or just overexerting myself a little too much can be enough to set off my asthma. And then, it doesn't matter how well-conditioned I am. I have to stop.

My point, I guess, is that when our bodies limit us, there's only so much we can do. And sometimes even what we *can* do is torturous.

I am sorry that BFing continues to be so frustrating and is so expensive. I hope you can make a decision about it that seems right for you and your family. Hugs.
