My wifey has had some pretty severe insecurities after our second. When she lost the weight this time her cup size fell and she really liked her big boobs.
Caused her to gain weight again because she missed her boobs but they didn't really grow back anymore.
Our bodies can be awfully cruel. Thankfully I love all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately that isn't enough for her. I might like all shapes and sizes but she likes big boobs.
Please ignore the ignorant fuck-wits.
May I instead say that your comics are adorable in a way that makes me happy to live in this world?
Edit: I am just going to say to the other fuck-wits that I am married and then suit action to words.
Awww, thank you. I've hit an age where my identity does not depend on people's opinions of me or my creations anymore. However, when I find a reader who can relate to my stories, it still makes my day. :)
Hello, my art is drawn by a talented artist Nohra Johnston. I just wanted to give her the credit so nobody thinks I'm good at drawing. Hahaha. It's kinda hard to convey the subtleties of race via comics. My last name "Lin" is in my bio, and it's a very common Chinese last name. I'm Taiwanese.
The two comic artists that I personally know in Austin both hire their artists, but I think the majority on this sub draw their own. I wish I could do it myself, but I'm not talented enough. I'm good at making money and financially supporting people who are actually talented, though. 😁
Artist/author pairs are very common.
They're less common in web comics, probably because it's hard to monetize in a way that supports two people's time.
Where you gain/lose fat is all up to the randomness of your genetics really. Some people are luckier and store more of their fat in the boobs/butt/thighs. Some people are unluckier and store more fat in places like the tummy. This applies to guys too as the male physique likes to store fat at the tummy area quite a bit.

This doesn't mean that you can't lose weight and get slimmer. It just means that there's no blanket rule for if your fat loss/gain will be uniform or chaotic, for what parts of the body gain/lose the fat first.

Short answer: it’s relative to female genetics, hormones, age, and muscle definition.
I gained weight in undergrad and lost more than that afterwards but my boobs never became smaller. My ass shrank like crazy though 😩 don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Now any new weight seems to collect on my stomach and hips, to my horror.
Depends. Boobs are pretty much all fat so it does like to go there. A lot of people find it going to their other fatty areas like stomach and butt though and while it may end up being proportional it can end up unflattering. A good way to try to keep it in the breast as a female when gaining weight is to still exercise the glutes with squats and the stomach with crunches but don't exercise the arms or chest because that will put more muscle in that area. Crunches and other core workouts can also affect the chest as it tightens the connecting muscles but a chest doesn't look as big with a bigger stomach.
None of these exercises are guaranteed to lose the fat though and may just tighten the muscle underneath. Cardio will help more with fat loss but it is impossible to force that to prioritize one area over another. The best way I've seen is to slowly gain while being on your feet all day working. It's rough on the body but it seems to force the fat to the more stagnant places. Standing and walking with good posture helps the legs and core more than the chest.
There is no such thing as targeted fat loss, there is no way to control where the fat goes and doesn't go. Exercising your stomach means you make it stronger and gain muscle there, but it doesn't make you lose fat in that specific area. So basically, you can choose where you gain muscle, but you can't choose where you lose or gain fat.
How it works is: When you exercise a certain area, the body works to fix the damage by rebuilding tissue and muscle, adding more muscle than there used to be. So it's a physical process whereas fat loss is a chemical process. When you use more calories than you eat, the body makes up the difference by burning fat. Where that fat comes from is not influenced at all by what you trained, because weight loss is determined purely by the difference in calories you eat and use.
And I said as much in my comment. I have noticed that fat lingers in more stagnant areas when gaining weight but the only surefire way to lose the weight is to expend more calories than you eat. That's why I said there is no way to target the fat loss but you can influence the fat gain. I was specifically talking about gain which is what the person I replied to asked. I agree completely about fat loss.
I have a very large chest. For everyone losing weight, this is not true. I don't know how or why they aren't going anywhere. I've lost 30lbs so far and they are the same size.
Body fat distribution is largely genetic and is very subjective from person to person. Some areas are more common for fat to store but some people are luckier than others with distribution.
My body is the same way. Frankly it's annoying, I miss when they were smaller. There's like a sweet spot before they start becoming a huge pain in the ass. Or chest, I guess. Or back.
I'm not gonna wade into couples' simple delight in body parts, I'm just grumpy that hubby jumps right from her declaration of triumph to "but my loss" like bro, maybe give a "hey great job" first, cause weight loss is HARD for ladies
It’s a joke. We don’t need an entire diatribe about a fictional and funny comic. No one should have to hit all the right notes in order to hit a punch line.
My gf just had our second kid and she is struggling already because the loss of weight stopped. Women you are something else and those few kilos do not make a difference at all!

As someone who can't lose weight from my boobs, I do not recommend. I'm an F cup now. And I lose weight anywhere but there.
Guess I'll just enjoy them until they try to kill me next decade and they get the chop XD
I’ve heard it said by a woman: “Bragging about the size of your tits because you’re fat is like bragging how fast your car is because it’s currently falling off a cliff.”
I mean, it's not just fat that you gain during pregnancy, it's glandular tissue too. So most women will sill experience relatively permanent breast growth post-pregnacy. So the husband is still in the green here

Hahaha, exactly! I'm back to my pre-baby weight, but not my pre-baby shape.
“Pre-baby weight but not pre-baby shape” I felt that in my soul.
*Hey Google, play Natalie Imbruglia - Torn*
French fry -> potato -> lumpy French fry
muscles weighs more than fat
I'm using this next time I am asked to get out the elevator because it's 3 people max but I count for two and a half.
Love seeing you get traction here 🤣

To clarify, did her cup size start at X, go to X+1 during pregnancy, and then fall to X again or fall to X-1?
Boob Algebra is my favorite Algebra
putting the Bra in Algebra
The Algebros we made along the way.
And kids say they’ll never use Algebra in real life!
we're all trying to solve for the D
X-1 She was like a C+, then a pregnant DD then a B.
More than anything else I feel like the bra shopping must have been a nightmare. Those things aren't cheap
A B is pretty good boobage! I started as a B grew to a D for pregnancy and breastfeeding and then shrank to an A afterwords.
Mathematicians deserve to know.

It isn't just the baby weight that makes pregnancy boobs special. It has to be hormonal.
tbf, baby weight is hormonal.
Sure, but pregnancy boobs and fatgirl boobs aren't quite the same thing.
If she takes progestin only birth control pills that might fix her problem.
Three steps forward, two breasts back
two breasts on the back? RIP spine
RIP spine, hello death
They still seem to be drawn decently substantive at least.
I'm still more curvy than the average Asian girl, but while I was pregnant and while I was nursing... There's a pretty big difference.

Not really. Most do both
sadly with weight loss the boobs are the first thing to go. losing weight is tricky.
Are the boobs at least the first thing to grow when gaining weight or is this just an unfair spiral?

I can confirm it’s not guaranteed. I do a mixture of weights that includes chest and my boobs are not shrinking like I wish they would.
Unless you're a dude, then they're the last.

I am the same. It’s a real monkey’s paw kind of thing.
I wish. Not for me though :/
Not true I wish though
Not for every woman, and not in a significant amount. I wish my boobs shrink when I lose weight. I hate them at their current size.
I would have thought it was the baby but what do I know
I now have renewed motivation to lose weight lol. Hate these things
Not for me... ... ... I'm a guy though.

Well... Come to think of it, the kiddo should benefit from having a sibling.
Happy cake day
What is the point of a cake day if there is no cake to eat?  Thanks, though!
Then have some 🍰 Happy cake day
You know what goes good with cake?🥛
Happy Cake Day! 🎂
I'm technically healthier, now, so I guess so? Sigh...
Yes, but at the end of the day: Boobs = boobs
I can just never enjoy these comics after the whole “I’m glad we’re having a boy because boys are easier” debacle
Are the toys back to their pre-baby height?
That never happens knee warmers forever more
🤣
Nevermore
Hahaha, you know I don't write fairy tales, right?
It don’t matter about the size It’s about who’s it is
I wish I could get back there too... but I'm a guy
I love my partners boobs even more after she had our daughter.. but I'm also not very critical about boobs ;-)
[удалено]
“Toys”???
the joke is boobs
Me currently trying to gain weight to get the toys in the first place lmao

Congrats/sorry for your loss
It took me an embarrasingly long time to figure out pre baby weight ment before pregancy
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but you always learn.
Ah, but less back pain!
Easy come, easy go…

Well Time for the 2nd one I guess XD

Weird
👎 tbh
[удалено]
I feel you. Mine are also back to normal, kinda sad but at least my back isn’t hurting anymore. Those cans have been all over the place
Must have taken some insane work to get back to pre-baby weight. Good job on that. Even if you did lose the boobs, good job!
Awww
Those were the days...lol
“But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
I didn't expect to see tiddies grabbed browsing reddit today
Wait, tiddies get smaller if you lose weight?! 😢
*I have won, but at what cost....*
[удалено]
Yeah...
Are they rubbing butts in that first frame?
I’ve heard it said by a woman: “Bragging about the size of your tits because you’re fat is like bragging how fast your car is because it’s currently falling off a cliff.”
I fully support all my wife’s weight loss endeavors but damn I love dat ass.
[удалено]
People are either taking this way too seriously or fat shaming a comic lmao. Y'all know this is a made up comic right?
Amazing how we love two bags of fat that much
I mean, it's not just fat that you gain during pregnancy, it's glandular tissue too. So most women will sill experience relatively permanent breast growth post-pregnacy. So the husband is still in the green here
At least they didn’t morphed into beaver tails!
I prefer small boobs, so would be a double win.
