Crossing my legs

This is such a weird thing for people to understand if they have never NOT been able to do it but I can cross my legs comfortably again!  I don't remember when I stopped really being able to cross my legs but I know it's been years.  I had kind of forgotten about being able to do it.  Then a couple of months ago, I was in an assembly hall and tried it. It wasn't extremely comfortable but I could do it! Now I cross my legs all the time and it feels great.  My thighs are the biggest part on me so when I gain weight, that's the first place I gain. So sitting in chairs with arms and crossing my legs are two definite NSVs for me.  I went to the movies Saturday night and I actually sat down without pulling up the armrests first AND crossed my legs.  I felt like a regular old skinny mini! :-)

Anyone else have any weird NSVs that you wanna share?

Nice..... Pretty fantastic no? Now I'm not saying try this...lol... But how about holding a coffee or a coke between your legs? (Readers keep it clean ). I actually do this now. I have some much space between me and the steering wheel I have to move the seat up.

HAHA! No, i haven't really thought about trying that.  I know I have much more space in my office chair now and probably could put a coke between my legs! I'll try it out and report back! lol

Good for you!! I love crossing my legs now, too, and sitting indian style, even in the movie theater.

My biggest NSV right now is to be able to wear matching shirts with my 9 year old daughter from Justice (they sell kids sizes but they go up to an 18-20 that fits like a women's medium). She loves it when we dress alike kiss

I can't wait until I can pull my legs up with me into the chair.... Still too big for that and may not ever work for me.  I have quite "voluptuous" thighs. LOL

That's so cool you can fit into the Justice clothes.  Something I am sure you couldn't even imagine at your highest. So awesome!

I was feeling my legs for some reason the other day and realized that I can feel my knee caps better now. Also, the other day my husband touched me was like "WTF was that?!".... I said that's my hipbone, dummy! :)

It's not a weird NSV, but the other day I wrapped a bath towel around me... woohoo!

I felt a hipbone the other day too, Nikke! I grabbed my husband's hand and made him feel it... he was a little disappointed. Thought he was getting to cop a feel. LOL

My bath towels pretty much cover me now which is so awesome.  I have always wanted one of those cute bath robes from the juniors dept. I need to see if they fit now... or soon!

 thats why there are warnings all over the mc d coffee cups saying that its hot
