What is the best way to quit biting your nails??

Answers:
Put Tabasco sauce on them, ask God for help, and visualize them well groomed. Then polish them, make them look pretty, and that will make you want to keep them that way. :))

I hate that habit. But cut your nails short.

There's some nasty flavored nail polish out there that they make just for this. It could help. I don't know what it's called though.

Just stop doing it. Its not that hard.

Here, there's an article about it. Read all about it.

The way I did it, at age 40, was to buy several nail clippers and put them around places where they were easy to access. Then, I just quit biting my nails and using the nail clippers. It was easy for me.

Good luck. I think only crack might help me.

But in the general realm of vices, this one isn't as bad as others I guess.

Just try to keep them trimmed and looking nice.

HEY RARE- thanks for that link!

I bite mine too.

get some nail clippers, clip them all the way down and file them, that way they will look nice and you will have no more nails to clip at.

also you need some self-restraining power, you should be able to tell yourself not to bite your nails. Maybe you might also want to try putting something nasty on your nails so you wouldn't forget? Like rub some liquid on there that would penalize you for doing it. I don't know what exactly; use your imagination.

I HAD TO WRAP BAND AIDS AROUND EVERY FINGER UNTIL THEY GOT A LITTLE LENGTH THEN I GOT NASTY DOG POO FLAVORED NAIL POLISH FROM WALMART AND I JUST STOPPED

Paint them so you won't want to put nailpolish in your mouth.

if you are a girl get your nails done and that way you cant bite them and if you are a boy always remember girls dont want boys with ugly fingernails

usually just ignoring works, thats how I stopped

have a brace. that does it (0_o)

Chop off your fingers!

There is a liquid you brush on the nails- that makes the nails taste very bitter - that may work. I also like the idea that someone put down of carrying nail clippers with you always and when you get the urge to nibble, just trim away at any loose edges instead.

it doesn't seem that hard, but it really is.

I bit my nails for years and tried everything there is on the market to stop biting. Not until I started working part-time in a resaurant did I stop immediately. The thought of putting my hands in my mouth after touching dirty dishes was disgusting. I don't bite anymore. When my hands get near my mouth I pull them away. I haven't worked in a restaurant in years.

I have this habit too and it is a hard one! Once I stopped by trying to let my nails grow and it worked, but I have fallen back into the habit! ; ( I suppose that I just need to be READY to do it and make up my mind and then DO IT! I stopped doing other vices that are much more harmful.ie. smoking!

cut them EVERYDAY . so that u dont have anything to bite at.
