I need to stop biting my nails. I do it all the time. I hate it. I have ugly nails that can't be polished because they're so damn short! scream I get so mad at myself when I can't stop. I've tried the nasty tasting polish. I eat through it. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to use scotch tape or bandaids on all of my fingers, just to keep them covered. Does anyone else have more reasonable suggestions as to how to stop biting? Please help...

Go get acrylics. They will cover up your poor bitten-all-to-hell nails, allowing them to grow. Plus, when your hands look so nice, you don't want to bite them. It worked for me ... although I didn't bite mine, I did pick at them until they broke off. Acrylics are hard and you can't bite them anyway, but you also feel them on your nails and that's a constant reminder to leave your fingers alone. You do need to get a fill every couple of weeks, but you're working and that's a treat for yourself.

I used to bite my nails a lot. I just started eating lollies a lot - I'd carry around Tic-Tacs or LifeSavers in my pocket and eat one every time I was about to bite my nails. It worked for me...

Don't get acrylics if you want nice nails! I had them, and they ruin the nails underneath. Sure, they look nice while they're on, but when you get the acrylics off they break if there's a slight breeze.
I stopped biting my nails when I went overseas. I suddenly discovered I'd stopped, possibly because there was so much to see and do I got distracted. If you can't just pop over to another country, I have no idea. I started biting again a while after I got back. gonk It really is a bummer.

Yes, and my breath smelled minty fresh. ^v^
You almost spelled it right - cannibalism. Very close.

I had acrylics once, for my Junior Prom in high school. I had them on for about a month, and when they came off all of my nails looked lovely. The only problem was that all of my own nails were paper thin and were very easy to rip off. Grr.
I suppose I could try again though. My only concern with doing that now is that some of my nails are damaged very badly from constantly being in my mouth. They are so small that I don't know if there is enough surface area for the acrylic to adhere to.
Or I could try lollipops or gum or something. That sounded like a good idea too. *grin*
Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

Yeah, I walked in the door at home today and promptly demanded acrylics from my mother. She called right away and I went to the nail place and got acrylics! Woo! Blossom has long and pretty fingernails now! Hooray! Thanks for the advice everyone!

Instant solution! Yes, it's true, when you get the acrylics off, your nails are thin and not strong, but they do grow back, and in the meantime, you've kicked a nasty habit. Congratulations!
