Breastfeeding: When breastfeeding the breast enlarges because it is engourged with milk.Afterwards the breast shrinks because of disuse.

Eating more: The opposite of what you said is generally true. Breastfeeding increases one's metabolism making it easier to lose weight. I suppose the people you are referring to just ate too much.
