I crossed my legs...and I liked it!



Recommended Posts

This weekend I went to a preschooler's birthday party. There wasn't a lot for the adults to do but sit around and talk to one another as the kiddos went crazy. After sitting for several hours in a camp chair my back was starting to ache. I switched to another upright chair and it was better, but I just couldn't get comfortable. I started squirming around looking for a comfortable position and suddenly I just crossed my legs. That was it, that simple. I was able to cross my legs. I haven't done that in years...I mean YEARS! ( at least 15+) I suddenly realized what I had done and started giggling to myself. I didn't sit too long with my legs crossed for the simple fact I have vascular issues and it isn't good for that. But it was an unexpectedly happy NSV. Even though I am not quite half way to goal, I have a body that moves so much better now. I love it!

I also noticed another NSV..My BMI has dropped into another first digit. Still obese, yes. But instead of a 50+ BMI, or a 40+ BMI I am now in the 30s! Woo hoo!!!

I couldn't sit that way before either, but have been doing it a lot lately at its actually been comfortable. Especially in movie theater chairs which were horribly tight and uncomfortable before and are no roomy. Its those little things that I really appreciate now :)

I was excited the first time I could cross my legs too. Now I have noticed that not only can I cross them, but I can tuck my foot behind my calf (kind of a double cross!)
