I have been trying to lose weight for all of my life. I've been up and down; mostly up. Lately I've been working really hard to get healthy through diet and exercise. Excercise used to be like a dirty word to me. Never have I been so dedicated to changing my life, as I am now. It's slow, but each week I feel more energetic, confident, and lighter on my feet. I went to the movies the other day, and was suddenly, oh so surprised, by how comfortable I felt in my seat. I could sit to the side. Normally the snugness of the seat would prevent a twist in position. I even had the urge to cross my legs. I had not been able to cross my legs since the ages of 16 to 21. And, what a landmark that was. I remember I was able to not only cross them once, but double cross. The girls with slender enough thighs know exactly what I'm talking about; though you probably take it for granted. "Who can't cross their legs?" Well, as I sat there with the urge, I gave immense thought to whether or not I should try the cross while the theater lights were still on. I didn't want anyone to see me it if I should make a failed attempt. I would be so embarassed. Wrestling with my confidence, I went for it....with the lights on. I crossed them! Albeit all of 5 seconds. But, I still did it. I hit a milestone for effort and bravery, and I'm so proud of myself for the progress of mind and body.
