about your appearance ? Your problem is largely
temporary - if you avoid excessive weight gain
, wear a properly fitted bra, even during sleep,
and start these toning exercises before you leave
the hospital . Add a new exercise each day. Do
each one 4 times - twice each day ( morning and
evening ) for a month or more |
