stop crossing my legs

We have to see chiropractors because it affects the position of our hips. It rotates the spine and forces one hip up and forward. Not fun.

To the person below who wanted some sort of buzzer—I wish someone would invent one specifically for that. I hope the buzzer could be a silent zap, because I wouldn’t want to drive my coworkers nuts.

i’m doing ok on this, better than i thought i would. sometimes i cheat and let myself cross my legs because it is comforting to me.

i remember a boy in my first-grade class asking me “why do you always cross your legs?” my best friend at the time answered for me..”because she’s a lady!” so cute, but my 20+ year leg crossing habit is cutting off my circulation and i have to stop. i’m weaning myself off it though, only allowing myself to do it sometimes. it would be so hard to do it cold turkey.

i heard that it causes varicose veins, which i don’t want, so i have to stop.

I am constantly aware that I am crossing my legs, but I do it anyway. I also want to stop sitting with my knees up and sitting with one leg under me. I’ve been noticing a lot of blue veins showing up in my legs, so I would REALLY like to stop this.

Problem is: I do these things with my legs when I am cold and when I am uncomfortable (both of which happen a lot). I have an uncomfortable couch and an uncomfortable desk chair and my house is cold! And the most comfortable sitting position for me has always been with my legs up.

Anyway, I hear it takes 28 straight days of not doing something to break a habit. I will try to work on this…but I don’t foresee it going very well… bah!

I was casually looking over my site… sitting here at work… when my eyes caught this “goal-” and I realized my legs were crossed – and I remembered they are always crossed when I’m at work. *%#^

this is so difficult.

I still go to do it sometimes but I’ve become aware of when I goto do it and I don’t. Now sometimes when I see people cross their legs it drives me crazy because I just want to uncross them. Totally worth it – I got the idea from the Princess Diaries.

I’ll do this in my own time..Cant be bothered having it as a goal though..as its going to take a long time and its good to cross your legs once in a while..

You know what would help? If you could find like a buzzer and strap it to your legs so when you cross them it goes off. Haha. I’m glad i stopped. You guys can do it!
