Arm Cross

I've been finding myself doing this thing that I find incredibly annoying.  Annoying probably only to myself.  I hold my arm across my stomach like I'm trying to hide my stomach.  It's almost like I'm wearing an imaginary sling for my arm.  I catch myself doing this at least 4 times a day.  Usually I'm just sitting (in bed, at work, in chairs).  I don't know why it's so annoying to me, but it is.  It's like what the hell am I hiding.  It reminds of the Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode with the mechanic who kills people and is married to a woman who pretends to have a daughter, but really never gave birth and has a dead stone baby still inside of her.  And Detective Goren exposes her by tipping  a lamp at her and she covers her stomach.  Maybe there is a fossilized burrito in my stomach....

It's also weird because I've lost nearly 20 lbs over the last year, so I should really be exposing my stomach and not hiding it.  I'm gonna try and stop doing it because it's annoying as hell and it's starting to hurt my elbow.  I can feel the muscles tensing from holding it there for long periods of time.
