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 had that exact moment too! one day i was sitting talking to my mom on the sofa (she was across from me) and we were having a really good conversation that i wasnt even focused on how i was sitting til my mom said to me..."your legs are crossed" i was confused at first but then was like wow they are really crossed and not ankle over ankle but knee over knee....and it was comfortable!!! <3 i dont think i even sat that way before...now i do it all the time!!

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!)
