Since I was young, I was heavy and I was never able to cross my legs "like a lady" because my thighs were too big. Well, I tried it yesterday and OMG I CAN DO IT TOOOOOOO! It's silly, yes but I kinda can't wait to wear a skirt again so I can show of how well I can sit like a lady. :P

    In a similar vein, I find myself sitting on my foot again. Years and years ago I always sat with one foot under me. I went through grade school, high school and beyond sitting on my foot. I haven't been able to do that for a long long long time (years and years) . Unfortunately, I usually have to change positions as my nearly 53 year old knee can't take it for long. LOL!!

    That's awesome!!! Way to go !!!
  • Great job! Now wait until you can sit on a chair and bring your feet up to rest on top of it and hug your knees to your chest and hug them comfortably.

    I think there is literally no better feeling in the world than being able to pull that off, it feels nice feeling so small and comfortable while sitting there.

    Sometimes I also bring my leg up and hug my foot to my chest during boring classes, but I just really like contorting my body into odd positions.... heh.

    Also- Sitting slouched with knees spread and feet flat on the floor master race.

    Lol, I think I can do that with some of the chairs here but they're kinda big so I don't think those are the kind of chairs you're talking about. :laugh:
