well you could get fake nails to help you stop- thats what i did and now that they are off i dont bite them anymore. ive heard of putting something on your nails like hot sause or something so that when you go to, you stop- but i dont know how well that works. lol.

lol nice answer snakeeyes.. but i have a more "painless" solution.. wear gloves or cut ur nails really short *hope i helped* love alwaiz, aLi

get arcrylics or something, that way your actual nails are inaccessible and you paid a ton for the things on your fingers, so you won't want to ruin it. hopefully it trains ya not to! gl

i just dip my nails into nail polish remover.. YUCK!

paint them or cut them short so you have nothing to bite. or get those cheap 5.00 fake ones at the store and then you will want them to look pretty so you wont bite them! i hope this helps!

My friend used to have that problem. What you gotta do is get this nailpolish stuff(dont worry if your a guy, it doesnt have color or shine) but when you go to bite your nails its got this nasty taste. Its supost to make you realize like "this is discusting, im not gonna chew my nails anymore." Im not really sure where to buy this stuff but im pretty sure you can find it at like walmart or something.

just think of all the bacteria underneath ur nails and on your hands...and how many things that you have touched...before you bite...that will make u stop

ugh i have the same problem!! so wut i do is i go and have them done until my real nails grow back out....then i get my real nails done and i dont want to mess them up so i dont bite them!! xOx`*

1. Yes, the nail polish that tastes bad, but NOT the kidn thats smells bad- eww
2. Don't look at your nails.
3. Get a nice french manicure or somehting, you wouldn't wanna ruin it and watser your money!
4. If you realli feel the urge i chew gum and lollipops and if i reaalllly feel like i have to i take out a nail filer and file away.
5. Cut your nails to short to bite!

There is certain nail polish you can use that tastes really nasty. You can also do that whole rubberband on your wrist thing, whenever you have an urge to bite (or when you do bite) pull, the stronger the urge, the higher you pull. My friend used to use the nailpolish stuff, you can get it anywhere, like even wal-mart. Good luck with that.

I suggest keeping lotion on your hands. It tastes horrible, and it's good for them.

I think you should carry around a nail file, so whenever you want to bite- just pull it out. It's just as OCD, but it makes your nails look prettier and smooth!

Hi Sweetie,
Not only have I been through that but I know someone that has too so I have 2 advices to give you.
1-What worked for me was the idea that I had to take good care of my nails to get a manicure (I had never gotten one before. I got a few in the past year but I lost interest in them. I just buy black or blood red nail polish and do my nails myself with the taking-care-of-my-nails idea in my subconscious.)
2-A guy I know claims he stopped biting his nails by first pointing out the reason of his issue. Being nervous. He solved it by caring a pen with him so that way whenever he felt the need to "bite his nails" he would use the pen instead since what he needed to do was use his hands. It helped him a lot.
Good luck with this. My best wishes! ~Blessed Be...

everyone bites their nails at some point or another. i got out of the habbit a few months ago by, again, constantly having nail polish on my fingers, and gum in my mouth. when you have something else in your mouth, you're less likely to bite your nails. be aware tho, once you think the habbit's broken, keep going for a little longer, cause it's really easy to slip back into that habbit...i did...and i haven't gotten around to getting back out of it again. good luck!

Oh, I have had the same problem, do not WORRY! I know what it's like to not be able to stop. This is what I do - I put nail polish on my nails. It doesn't necessarily taste bad, but when it's on there, I don't want to bite, because then I'll get nasty nailpolish in my mouth and, like...eat it! Haha. Plus, with nail polish, your nails will also look stylish while helping you break a bad habit. How much better can it get?!

You're going to think I'm crazy for saying this but I used to do the same thing too. Keep a bottle of nail polish remover and dip your fingers in it. It tastes nasty therefore you won't put it in your mouth. Keep doing it until you forget you even bite your nails. Hope this helped.

Have something in your hands at al times. A ball, a pencil, a rubber band, that way you'll keep your hands busy. I think you can buy stuff that tastes gross in some stores. I'm not sure where tho. Good luck. Oh, if you do it in your sleep, where gloves when you go to bed!! lol
