I know exactly what you mean about feeling ashamed. I decided to stop and have been looking online for some advise - as you said, I found nothing helpful but your blog. Thanks so much, it was truly awesome to read someone else's experience with this... Hi,

I can go for about two weeks when they just start to look sort of normal and then I chew them of in obe foul swoop. This is causing issues with my fiance as he bought me an engagement ring to stop me biting my nails and I still do. I have just decided to get them done every two weeks so then I am spending money and will get shamed into it.. I had grown them for two weeks and what did I do the other night...Yep.. I bloody bit them all of.. My first nail appointment is on Tuesday and I am now so ashamed. Help!!! Hi: I am shocking with biting my nails.

I just put some red nail polish on - let's just say I need some lessons in application! :P The Bunns - That's a very good suggestion! Already since I posted this, I've had half a dozen hits from people looking for advice, so I'm happy to know it's helping someone and maybe I should consider putting it up somewhere else too. Kelly - Ahh, the acrylics. I've tried that, but the reason I didn't include them above is because they damage fingernails so much - and often it doesn't fix the problem because once they come off, the fingernails get chewed again. Using will power forces you to overcome the problem, instead of a temporary fix. But it's good to know you've managed to stop biting - and I agree, acrylics are VERY hard to bite through! :P Mum & Dad – Haha that was a surprise!

Unfortunately I couldn't manage to quit like you did - I got acrylics slapped on, and 15 months later, no biting has occured. It's pretty damn hard to chew through acrylic you know!

We bite just about everything else BUT our nails!!! Here is a suggestion. Take about $25. Use your computer ... publisher .. to make your 10 tips onto a concise "poster." Take the file (you might convert it to pdf) to a print place and have it printed in nice color at about 22" x 17" .. this might cost $20. Buy a piece of foam-core/foam-board and glue your poster on it. Take the poster to a nail place or better yet, the public library, and ask them to display it. Move it from store to store or library to library or heck, even in a grocery store every 2 or 3 weeks. You'll cure lots of people and make a lot of people happy. (Probably don't want to put your phone no. on there!) If you do it, show us a picture! We remember your pictures awhile back! We bite just about everything else BUT our nails!!!
