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?

Honestly I have the same fears and situation. One way I approach this is to have intentional plateaus or even weeks where I intentionally let loose and gain a little weight back. This allows me to cycle my fat, having periods of losing and gaining weight, compared to always losing weight.

That said, I would prioritize your health and make sure you get enough nutrition and hydration, avoid starvation diets and extremes, aim to just reduce calories by 100 kcal on a daily basis so you have slow and steady weight loss.
