What's the best way to try and stop biting your nails?
Question:
Answers:
I'm in my 40's and have been biting my nails since I was a young child. I recently stopped and the only way I was able to do it was with a bandaid! I would put a water-proof bandaid on one or two fingers until the nail grew long enough that I could cut it. Once I got it that long, I removed the bandaid and kept telling myself to not bite the long nails...I did this one finger at a time until I am not biting any.
when you feel the need to bite..get your mind off of it...put in some gum or find something to keep you busy...write a note or type something.you put so many germs in your mouth by biteing..that fact alone should help you stop.
Keep them short but nice to a rounded shape; get a good manicure so you can see what they look like if you dont bite.
Use stuff that you can paint on like nail polish but tastes awful.
