Title. Need to loose weight. Already going to be hard enough loosing weight in the first place but also keep getting a nagging thought that I’ll impede my breast development. Currently on HRT.

I know loosing weight for my health is more important than my breasts. Still hits me hard though that they won’t develop if I’m on caloric restriction. Am I being insane or uninformed?

    When I started HRT I was at around 270 pounds (122.5 kg) but I exercised a bunch and got down to 220 pounds (100 kg) which I’ve been stuck at for almost a year now. Despite losing all that weight in my first few months of taking HRT, I still had a lot of breast growth. I didn’t really restrict myself calorically, although I didn’t eat excessively either, so my calorie deficit came primarily from exercise. You probably can loose weight without inhibiting breast growth, although I don’t know what difference restricting calorie intake makes vs lots of exercising to get a deficit.
