Is there an easy way that I can stop biting my fingers?


Question:
It's a bad habit of mine, been doing it since I was a kid. Is there anything I can use to help me stop?

Answers:
You can start, chef, by believing in yourself. How can you expect anyone to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself? Somebody has to do it, so it is better that you do it, and then get on with the REAL challenges of life. That will stop the finger biting once and for all.
Remember, there is no-one who can do it better than you.
yes, by simply stopping yourself doing it...
Maybe you can find something else to bite on instead like a straw or something. Everyday keep biting the straw less and less and eventually you won't do it anymore.
get a nail clipper??
wear gloves
Paint your nails (use neutral colours if you're a guy)

Dip your fingers lightly in hot and spicy sauces.

Have strong will and keep on reminding yourself not to do that.
It might sound silly, but I put a post-it note on my wall that said: 'stop biting your nails' on it. Amazingly it worked.
soak your fingers in vinegar. it tasts so nasty you will never do it again.
Do two things. Carry a file around and keep them smooth all the time.

Secondly if you are really serious about it, tell everyone you know that you'll give them $20 every time someone catches you biting them. You'll stop pretty fast.
paint them with gross nail polish stuff you can buy
sally hanen...nail polish thingy...forgot the name...its meant for pple who bite their nail
try keeping your mouth shut or eat an apple or talk to someone or best of all pray
Sally Hansen's makes a product called Nail Biters that brushes on like nail polish but doesn't leave a color or a shine.. but when you put your fingers in your mouth it tastes so foul you'll take them out again IMMEDIATELY.

It worked for me.
I used to have the same issue up until I met my new wife at the age of 29. Every morning I would dip my fingers in either vinegar or an extreme hot sauce (you know the kind of hot sauce you have to sign a waiver for) and every time I bit my fingers I would get that nasty gross vinegar taste or blow my mouth off with the hottest darn hot sauce on the planet. It took me about a couple of weeks to stop doing it, but when I stopped I didnt even realize I had stopped doing it. Wierd?
My sis had the same habit
it is usually due to nervousness, try to stay clam, or tensionfree,

She was advised to keep her busy or opt a hobby, to keep her mind busy, also u can use spices or any saucy thing on the nails, or try chewing gum or keep ur mouth full
WEAR GLOVES! No but seriously, we never get rid of habits we just find new habits. so find a new habit and realize when your biting your fingers and tell yourself not to bite them. and eventually you will stop and if you don't, hey there are alot worse things then biting your fingers.
