Likho Nonyongo
@likho.nonyongoI always said I want to be a ‘hot wife’ who’s always active, like I was before getting married… I didn’t take into consideration the ‘weapons formed against me’ (contraceptives) and the effect they’d have on me (The fatigue, the cravings, appetite, weight gain etc). It becomes so difficult dragging myself to the gym & doing things I used to enjoy ? I feel like this topic wasn’t covered realistically in LO class ? it’s nice to finally find some sort of routine and actually be consistent. Having my husband’s support (force ?) is such a huge help!♬ Missing Pieces – Flawed Mangoes
