I used to do the same thing.What got me to stop was this nasty story.My co-worker told me that under your nail bed there are tiny little bugs.which this is true,and if you swallow what you bit off then there is a really good chance that your nails are hooked onto your stomach lining.This is because they don't digest in your gutt.So hope this helps you out.Did the trick for me.I now have healthy beautiful nails I can polish.

as a practising counsellor i'd have to tell you to think about the answers to three questions i have for you:
1) What makes you bite your nails?
2) What happens when you feel the urge to bite your nails and you resist the urge?
3) what are the ADVANTAGES of biting your nails. THINK seriously long and hard about this one. your answer(s) may surprise and enlighten you!
( if there were no advantages you wouldnt be biting them.)

get acrylic nails. it worked for me. it is about $25 the first time and about $15 every 3 weeks after that. it works and it's worth it to me.
my fingers are beautiful and i am happy. go to a nail salon. well worth the money. acrylic nails are too hard to bite. it really makes you stop because your real nails are unreachable.

At the drugstore, you can get a really nasty-tasting polish to put on your nails, or overtop of nail polish. Try stop - it can lead to horrible infections.

I phyced myself out of this when I was 12. Think about all the things you touch all day like door knobs and money that everyone else has touched. You don't know what they were doing (could have gone the bathroom and not washed their hands, could have picked their nose, scratched themselves) any # of things. Do you really want your hands in your mouth now?

It helps me if I keep my nails painted... There are also nain polishes that taste really bad and they are made just for that reason. Or you could add hot sause to clear nail polish. I hope that this helps...

Try putting on fake nails.

Polish them and as they begin to grow you will see how nice they look and that should stop you. Also men hate stubby ugly nails.
