Crossing your legs....



Recommended Posts

Does anyone find themselves crossing their legs when you sit all the time now that you can do it? I can't seem to get mine to stop crossing. The only time they do stop is when I sit with one foot up on the chair and rest my chin on my knee. I am just so damn excited I can sit with thinner legs.

I was actually thinking the same thing at work today. I have noticed that I am constantly crossing and recrossing my legs and I get this big smile on my face because I can!

Same here, it's such a good feeling. MSS I was banded by Dr Watson the week before you and we are practically the same BMI and weight loss - spin out!!!!

I just posted this same thing as one of my NSV's!! I LOVE crossing my legs and I do it ALL the time. Whether I'm wearing shorts, jeans, dressed up or not :)

And like Kacee said - I don't have to hold it there!

I get comments from people all the time, why do you always cross your legs, cant you sit normally..problem is that now that I can cross them...like a girl and without my leg sticking out halfway to the moon..its the only way I sit..heck I even sit sideways in desks at school, just so I can cross my legs!!! Dontyou love it..

Tifferoni, I do that too. I cross under my desk, under the cafeteria table, all the time.

Thanks Travelgirl! I was way excited to see that on the scale this morning.

I could cross my legs fairly elegantly even at my highest weight - didnt have to do the man style ankle on knee thing, so this wasnt an NSV for me, but I just then caught myself not only crossing my leg but twining my foot and ankle round the back of the leg - I try to remind myself not to do it becuase doesnt it give you varicose veins?

Yessssssssssssss.

I use to envy people for crossing their legs.

I can now cross my left over right ANYWHERE ANYTIME!!!

Right over left still doesn't work for me, but I think it has to do with the curve in my spine.. my hips are off by a couple inches, so one of my legs doesn't bend or move as much as the other.

But, I find myself crossing my legs all the time.. at dinner, in someone's office, at home watching tv, etc.

Woohoo NSV.

Im happy to know that Im not the only one. Sometimes I think people are going to think that I think Im prissy now that I have lost weight.

someone once said something like that to me...I told them that my mother taught me that ladys cross thier legs..and hold a penny between thier knees..:heh:--wonder where that penny went anyways--but it shut them up..besides..you are allowed to be prissy..youre a girl!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
