Ever since I was little we're talking like probably 5 or 6 or so I have always bitten the crap out of my finger nails. I have made a number of attempts to stop. I even put on fake nails for like 4 months to try and rid myself of the habit but nothing worked. I would do well for a while and think I no longer had the habit but then my nail would chip or something and I never had a nail file. So I would bite it to try and fix it and it was like a dang smoking habit once I started again I couldnt stop!
It got really bad in college. Since I had to read a ton I would sit and read and subconciously bite my nails until they hurt. Why? I have no clue...just a very bad habit. However this is no longer a problem for me so I am giving myself a gold star!
I am so excited I haven't bitten my nails for almost two months! I used this undescribably horribly tasting stuff that you paint on your nails and it made me afraid to even put them near my mouth, however I havent used it in almost a month and I am still doing great.
Why the sudden change/motivation? Jonny and I made a deal. If I would quit biting my nails then he could only play video games on the weekend while he is in school, (or if I tell him ok during the week) so I am confident that I will continue my sucess! In his defense he has been working so hard in school that this deal doesnt really make a difference anyway and I am very proud of him. It just gave me extra motivation I needed though! I know it sounds silly but this is seriously like a milestone in my life.

Biting my nails was the worse while I was teaching. My habit is related to stress. Good job!
I am so proud of you! I need to stop too. I would give anything to get myself to stop. I don't even know I'm doing it. That is a huge accomplishment.
You're so cute Cassie! I'm very proud of you.
So what's the name of this nasty stuff you put on your nails, and where do you get it? I think we need to express some to Sparklemom ASAP!!!
Actually, you deserve more than just one gold star!! Breaking a habit is very hard...I know. Very proud of you!!!
