Constantly crossing my legs (NSV)

It has become incredibly easy to cross my legs now that I have dropped 3 sizes. I never realized that before I lost the weight I couldnt really sit with my legs crossed for too long as it seemed like a very unnatural or forced position to be in.

Now I find myself sitting with my legs crossed in places I have never sat that way before---my work desk and even on the bus. I am doing it subconsciously without any real desire to sit that way but it is oddly comfortable now :flowerforyou:

Just some randomness I decided to share in my boredom....

    Congrats!! I very much look forward to this with my continued weight loss. It's been a long time since I've comfortably sat with my legs crossed at the knee.

    Awesome NSV! Congrats on losing 3 dress sizes. I do that too! When I first could do this, I did it way too much and put too much pressure on a nerve and had a condition called drop foot. It went away quickly, now I just make sure I don't sit in the same position too long.

    Good grief that is a wonderful NSV and one I hadn't thought of! Crossing your legs...... who would have thought, but of course you are right! Congratulations on an amazing and very valid NSV!

    for me it's not just crossing legs but using stairs without getting out of breath

    I don't remember when I got too heavy to cross my legs, or when I lost enough to be able to cross them again.
    :bigsmile: Sunday, at church, I looked down and my legs were crossed at the knee. I do not remember crossing them, or wondering if I was able to do this... Something in my unconscious mind must have known I had lost enough to do this now.
    Very cool NSV!!
