The Cross, Tuck & Twist - NSV

I reached a personal NSV today...I can cross my legs!

Now, in the past, I've faked it by leaning slightly to one side and flinging one leg over the other, and then holding onto my knee for dear life. From the front, sure...looked like I was normally crossing my legs, while resting slightly on my knee. Meanwhile, the back side of me was hanging over the armrest.

Now, I can sit normal with my butt and hips straight and cross my legs. AND IT DOESN'T FALL OFF! I don't have to hold it.

My next NSV - on the road to becoming a "normos" - will be when I can tuck one foot behind the leg that's being crossed.

The BIG NSV will come when I can cross the leg, tuck the foot, and twist my legs to the side - without moving my butt.

I've studied the normal woman for years. Pretty soon I'll be able to mingle among them with no one the wiser that once I couldn't even cross my legs. :tongue:

In the meantime it's small steps toward normal...

Congrats, that's a great NSV!!! I can't wait till I get there, I do the fake out now. But that's a NSV for me, because I used to not even be able to fake it, lol!
