Really FUN NSV that I really enjoy.
I used to be able to cross my legs...If I leaned to the side, or was in a specific type of chair/couch. Last night I sat in class, in my computer chair (the class is in a computer lab), with my legs crossed. I sat there for about 80% of the entire class, comfortably, with my legs crossed. (class is almost 3 hours!) I enjoyed it the entire time! I enjoyed the way I felt sitting there. Comfortable and feminine. I loved the way I felt just like a regular person, sitting there as if crossing my legs was "no big deal". Inside though, I was actually quite aware of it. There is another woman in the class that is heavy. She did not sit with her legs crossed and I think she most likely couldn't. I felt proud that now, I can! I also enjoy just how much LAP I have. I love that I can use my legs for holding my laptop, or filling out papers on a clipboard, placing my phone...it just feels so comfortable and natural. I still have a lot of weight to lose, and I feel that I am actually losing slower than I'd like (doc says its because I was a revision). But overall, I just wanted to share this happy NSV with everyone. p.s...I am almost in onederland! I'll definitely have a new post when that happens! I can't wait!
I love it!!! Congrats, such a great feeling. xoxo

Thanks everyone. It felt pretty good. Today someone told me that they didnt recognize me! I don't know...I dont really feel like i have lost that much and i dont feel that i look so different. It's gonna take some time to wrap my head around my weightloss I think. Hopefully I lose a lot more and noone recognizes me! lol
