I crossed my legs today



Recommended Posts

Only here will people understand. I was actually afraid to try it until today. I have not crossed my legs the "dainty" way in many years. I joined the century club this week, and decided it was time to try crossing my legs in a chair. I was afraid that my belly would still be in the way. It was irrational and fear based. Today I decided to go for it at work in my cube.

I crossed my right leg over my left and it worked. I crossed my left leg over my right and it worked. If I could type on my PC this way, I'd do it all day long.

Crossing my legs is my new favorite activity.

Happy NSVs to us all!

Aww, that is a great feeling, huh? I have been able to comfortably cross my legs for several months now and I sit with my legs crossed all the time. I still get that amazing feeling of accomplishment every time though! I think maybe that's why I enjoy sitting like that so much!lol

Ah man! It is such a wonderful accomplishment. I am not fully able to cross my legs but I am getting there. I semi-cross them everyday. My husband says that I think I am cute. He will never understand. But you guys do. Its not about being cute. To be able to sit like a woman and not with my legs COCKED wide open with my hand on my hip. Or with my hands under my belly. To look at a pic and see that, I hated it. I have never been able to cross my legs and always wanted to know how it feels. That is one of my NSV goals. Everyday I am going to keep trying until it's right. So, YOU GO GIRL!

later losers!

I crossed my legs for the first time a few months ago. I didn't even think, I just did it. And when I realized what I was doing, I uncrossed and crossed them for about 30 minutes straight! Then, I was sitting with my legs neatly crossed and my bestie looks at me and screams "OMG...you have your legs crossed!" We laughed until we cried! It is an awesome feeling...that only you guys here understand :)

Congrats on your achievement...enjoy the feeling!

This was a huge deal for me. I was never ever able to sit with my legs cross. I started doing it as soon as I could. Even thought it was comfortable. Now I sit like that all the time just because I can. All my skinny coworkers sit with their legs crossed up in the chairs and I'm jealous, I can't wait till I can actually sit like that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
