I´ve tried to quit eating my nails for years, I´m 28.When I was a child my family put me garlic, chili, they hit me but I just felt angry and didn´t leave this habit.

Yes I eat them, not just bit them.

You're are biting your nails because you are nervous about something or you have anxiety. I use to bite mine because of anxiety but now I take medicine for it and I haven't chewed on mine in 8 years. It is some underlying reasons you bite your nails it is not simply a habit. Now that I don't bite mine I can see how unsanitary it was to put my fingers in my mouth, you don't know how many germs are on your hands. Try to figure out what you are nervous about or anxious about and go from there

Wait a minute you said "eating my nails". Do you mean biting your nails or do you mean eating as in chewing and swallowing 'cause that's weird. Sounds like you've got a lot of issues from your childhood you made need to get some professional help for.

I saw this on the Tyra Banks show not too long ago.... a girl had a similar problem....they told her to put on the fake nails ......That way unless you try to rip them off and cause real pain to yourself then your nails will grow underneath them.

what helped for me, but may or may not for you, was to get acrylic nails put on. they're a lot thicker, so they won't break off and you can't tear them with your teeth. it can either help keep your mouth away from your nails, or you'll just enjoy chewing them more...
