stop biting my nails

...to calling this complete. Haven’t bitten them in 7 weeks. 1 more week, and I’m happy. Woohoo!

My nails seem to be a bit brittle; the one of my little finger ripped a bit last night, I don’t know what I caught it on. Does anyone have any hints for making your nails stronger, more resilient? I don’t think nailpolish would suit me…

Well, fairly successful so far. The rubber band strategy failed after 3 days, when I broke the rubber band. However, I’ve been able to catch and stop myself with my fingers in my mouth. so, it’s fairly successful so far. Tho, as far as I’m concerned, I’ve got at least a month before I can close this… 23 days to break a habit n’ all.

I’m going to follow the advice of michaeltherobot. He suggests putting a rubber band around ones wrist and snapping it real hard so it hurts when you even think about biting your nails. The theory is the body/mind will eventually pick up that the thought of biting nails will be followed with some pain, and the thought should stop happening. That’s the theory at least :-)
