the only way to break a habbit is to make a new one. Try tapping your nails on your teeth or twirling your hair

Here's how I did it:
I got those cheesy Lee Press-On Nails.....
I put them on in the morning - trimmed them down so I could function... they didn't look great but they look better than the gnarly stumps I had without them! They'd wear off by bedtime... I never chewed my nails while asleep, so... I'd just put them on again in the morning. Keep doing it and one day you'll notice you have a little bit of nails under there!!!
Give it a try... I think you can get all the stuff at the dollar store.
Good Luck!

There is no hope..
My family used to put a garlic nail polish on my nails when I was little but I would just wash it off and continue to bite them. Maybe there's some other kind of even nastier nail polish out there, one that doesn't wash off!! Good luck, and let me know if you find the answer..

This sounds stupid, but try wearing gloves around during the day. Or try putting a substance on your nails-lemon juice will not do it. You need something very bitter, I cannot think of a name.

heyy i have the same problem! Well what i did was get acrylics to try and make my habit go away but then i just ended up biting those and it didnt really work. All i can say is just maybe try the acrylics, you may be better at it then me. lol. orr just DONT bite them. hehe. likee when you are goign to, just find somethign else to do really fast. like pick something up to keep your hands and fingers busy. i guess thats all the advice i have : /

Go to a salon and have fake nails put on. It works for everyone i know that bites their nails.
Good luck.

Every (every!) night, before you go to sleep, tell yourself that you are the most wonderful person in the whole world. You are a diamond in a sea of pearls and your joy and love of life shines out like a beacon.

The question isnt how to stop biting, its how to stop stressing. You said the reasoin you bite your nails is 'cause of stress or worriness. you need to calm down. try yoga or going to the gym.......
