I always tend to have to cut off my poses, especially when they have their arms up high. I get carried away with a sweeping gesture and before I can manage it - I have to cut off their arms - which is one of the best parts of the gesture. Any recommendations for how to ensure that my drawings stay proportional to the paper I am drawing it on? It doesn't matter how big of paper I use.

Learn to improve gesture drawings by expanding from the primary action line to cover the entire pose, capturing dynamic movement and avoiding stiffness.

If possible, your first line can capture the highest point of the figure, which will be the arms if they are raised, and then end at the lowest point, which will likely be the bottom of the feet. This will establish the highest and lowest points of the pose which should make it easier to include the entire figure.
