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?
I put weight on deliberately when starting on HRT and at points when I increased my estrogen dose.
It didn’t help and I have very small boobs. I’ve done caloric restriction and large amounts of exercise a few times when further increasing estrogen or changing from pills to patches and it’s not really impacted breast growth.
Some trans girls are just up against the genetic lottery and you’ll end up small no matter what. In my case, none of the cisgender women in my immediate family have anything above an A cup and coupled with broader shoulders from an original testosterone puberty means I’ve got not much at all!
Which is a lot to say that trying to game it via weight gain and loss isn’t going to make a huge difference and you should get development no matter, unless you are on a starvation diet.
