I crossed my legs today

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!

Hahahahaha! LOVE IT and yes totally understand and can relate! AMEN! :)

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

Yay!! That's fantastic. I can almost do it, takes some effort. Enjoy your victory!!

wheeeeee! i can't wait to do that! congratulations, great NSV!

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!

Ha! This made me chuckle! Congrats to you! Can't wait to cross mine again!!

Congratulations what a victory!! I have never been able to cross mine without holding it in place. I too can cross mine. My son giggled and congratulated me when I showed him.

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.

Wooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Welcome to the "I can cross my legs club AND swing my foot" !!! :D :D :D :D

Hoping to be able to button it by Halloween ;)

Blessings,
