Can't bring myself to quit

I have been EPing for 6 months. That was my goal and I told myself I would stop then and feed good about it. Well I can't bring myself to quit even though I HATE it. Anyone else have problems giving it up? I think I am going to go for as long as I can now because I would feel too guilty stopping when I still have a good supply.

    I am with you 100%.  My goal was Christmas and I'm going to make it but I just don't feel ready to stop even though I can't stand pumping either.  I actually started bawling when I was talking to my husband about it the other night. 

    We are TTC #2 and I wanted to not breastfeed for a month before we started trying but I just can't quit.  I feel like its SO good for him and my supply is still good so I should keep going.  I don't know what I'm going to do.  DH just said to take it 1 day at a time and when ever I'm ready he supports me.  He also reminds me that formula is not poison and LO will be just fine...

    My goal was 12 months.  We're at 15 months now and I am ready to quit nursing but I can't do it.  I can't even explain what is going on in my head.

    I nurse all the time, but pumped at work for the first 10 monts. I couldnt quit either..I weaned down on the pump and ended up starting again for another month and a half. Then, I was ready. I just knew it. Now I don't pump but still nurse when I am with her.

    My goal was 6 months - I thought that was great and I would stick to it. But DD was happy and she was so healthy. She didn't get her first cold until she was about 9 months old!  I weaned her very gradually at 10 months, which she was perfectly fine with.  I think she enjoys being able to be in whatever position she wants and still drink her bottle.
