Curling into myself?

I'm finding that the more weight I lose, I don't know what to do with my arms. I also seem to be slouching a lot, crossing my arms over my breasts or stomach, and curling into myself. It's like I've forgotten how to sit up straight. When I do sit up straight, I'm clasping my hands in my lap. I'm also fidgeting more. Does anyone else find themselves doing that? I've always swayed a lot when standing, but now I do it more! But the slouching and curling into myself is just weird! When I realize what I'm doing, I try to stop, but why am I doing it in the first place? Because I can?

  • I do all of these things too and have often wondered why. Perhaps I just enjoy being small now.

  • YES!!! I do this too. I think it's a subconscious sense of discomfort/insecurity, because I find myself doing it more in public, even if I'm not paying attention.
