I was at my parents when I noticed for the first time I could cross my
legs. I almost cried I was so excited.

I too got very excited when I figured out I could cross my legs. I told my
husband "Look" as I crossed my legs, he kind of stared at me
dumbfounded, I said "Look, I can cross my legs" . It was so
exciting I just sat there and crossed and recrossed my legs over and over.
lol.

I'm so delighted that I can cross my legs that sometimes I just want to
giggle! I got really excited when I discovered that I could cross my legs
while sitting in the middle seat of an airplane row. It was all I could do
not to point it out to the man sitting next to me!

When I first discovered I could do this, I was so happy and I do it all the
time now, even without thinking about it. A short story,I had a appt with
my plastic surgeon and his office was so full. I found a seat among the
others and was sitting in between them without spilling over into their
side, but the main thing I noticed was that everyone had their legs crossed
even a few men. and guess what. I did too. LOL it felt so good to be able
to fit in with everyone else. Enjoy

OMG!!!! I was just sitting there, and I suddenly had this feeling of ,
"I bet I could cross my legs if I tried" I then said "No, I
can't". After a few seconds of talking to myself, I did it and have
been doing it ever since!! I love it! I feel so feminine!

It was SO EXCITING to me the first time I could cross my legs comfortably
and keep them crossed for an extended time. It's been months since I first
could cross my legs but I still get interally excited almost every time I
cross them!!! It's the little things!! Congratulations to you!

Yes!!!!!! It's wonderful. And I'm always amazed to see a small opening to
pass thru and think, I'll never make it thru there and then finding I have
room to spare, or fitting thru a turnstile without sucking it in or
hefting your belly up. It's all so great!! It's the little things that
make it all worthwhile.

I freaed my boss out! I was sitting in a meeting in his office when I
looked down and realized I had my legs crossed, I gasped and then squeled a
little. He was like what's wrong and I just had this huge smile on my face
and said, "I just realized I can now cross my legs!". Now I
can't quite keep them crossed because it is still a little uncofmortable,
but I find that everytime I sit I now cross and uncross my legs several
times, just kind of checking to make sure.

I was in the movie theater when I realized for the first time in life that
I could cross my legs :-). I stared at my legs for a good 15minutes, I
felt so sexy. Vesta 9months post op(426/304/??)

Yes, I too am a leg crosser. I have always crossed my legs even at 327 but
now at 165. I am so much sexier. I sit this way just out of habit now. I
do it so much that sometimes my knees hurt. But guess what I'll take the
knee pain. I really am so happy that I too really enjoy the little things.
I remember the first time I got into line to ride alpengeist at Busch
Gardens I was terrified because at 327 I was asked to get off because the
harness would not buckle. I rode this last year and basically fell in the
seat that almost made me cry. But you know what now I just want to say
that parks should accomodate Obese people with oversized rows of seats. It
is not nice to be single out because of our sizes. Obese individuals also
enjoy have fun and a Great time. How about society considering this!!!
But yes the little things are just great!!!!But being Healthy is the
biggest advantage!!!!
Congratulations everyone!!!1

Lifes simple pleasures. At 123 lbs I can even wrap my lower legs around
each other. It is a thrill. I was never much of a thrill rider, but maybe
I would try now that I can fit in the seats so well. I'm looking forward
to the first time that I fly. That feeling will be great too.
