Stop biting my nails
 
There are two popular methods to beat this habits. The first is to keep nails trimmed short so that you'll have less of a nail to bite. The second is to coat your nails with a bitter-tasting nail biting polish.

This is the best new years resolution I ever stuck to.
What worked for me is always having a nail file with me to make sure my nails were smooth. If I had a snag, I would bite it.
The secret was finishing school.
Acrylic nails help me to stop biting
I've gone 5 weeks without biting my nails (since I physically cannot bite them off) but I'm still ending up cutting them super short.
Right now I can't bite my nails because I have temporary teeth which don't have much biting ability. So now the trick is just not trimming them so short.
Determined as not biting nails for 30 days
Complete when I get them to a length I like, without bitting them (on the way to the length, and after)
UPDATE: I'm working on it, doing okay.
I got a horrible infection from biting my nails :(
One month and a half of no biting my nails
2.10.2016-Almost... I bite just my nails on right hand.. :D

13.11.2016-All nail are same size. i FINALLLY STOP BITING MY NAILS.

First day of not biting - 3/29/16
57 days in a row so far (8/27/15)
I had nail tips put on and they grew out and so did my nails. Now to get them stronger but I'm not biting!
I will consider this complete when I complete 100 days of no nail biting
Thanks to my sister's wedding I can say I've finally broken my lifelong bad habit of biting my nails as of September 2014.
I have tried to stop biting and/or picking my nails for years. I can go a month or two without biting but then I start the process all over again. I will consider myself broken of the habit after 3 months of no normal biting or picking.
Began on 27th December 2013.....here goes!
No biting my nails for the best year. I pledge from this day forward to not bite any part of my nails for the next year.
073113: Still working on this... still using the nail polish. Uphill battle!!



9/1212: It's an ongoing battle....... :(



Day 3, so far so good.... :)



For anyone wanting to do this..... Walgreen and CVS sell a product that will assist... it's like nail polish and it tastes like total crap! It's a helpful reminder to take your fingers out of your mouth...



Began 7/27/12



8/15/12 UGH!!!! Gotta start over....



Starting over 08/23/12



Day 2, so far so good.
Day 1: Fail

Days 2-9: Success

Getting there, keeping them tidy with nail scissors helps.
I have a feeling I will always be fighting this battle but looks like I am about there!
I think, finally after years of trying it, that I have accomplished it. I'm really happy about that and I know you all will have the strength too! You can do that!
For at least one month.
congrats to those 154 people who have completed this!
I believe I stopped.. I don't bite them anymore, but i do have to wear nailpolish or I will do it again. I suppose.
For at least one month
Let's save this for 2012!
Also learn nail art!
It's been 2 weeks since I stopped biting my nails. They look pretty.
I bought some nail polish and painted my nails yesterday in hopes it will help me stop! 2/20/12 is day one of no nail biting!
I tried yesterday, but then I bite like four of my finger nails...

1st Feb '12 - My nails are now long enough to paint. I count that :)

18th Jan '12 - Got some good growth on there now. Thumbs need a bit of work so not yet marking this one as done.

9th jan '12 - I had failed, but I'm trying again now :)

5th sept '11 - Working myself up to it. I'm now only biting 3 nails
I can't believe I did this!
I'm already part of the way there - I don't keep my nails bitten all the way down all the time any more. But I still tend to bite them off when they get too long.
Just cut all my nails, to get all of them growing up together.
PLEASE. I NEED THIS.
