Don't Bite My Nails for 50 Consecutive Days
3 entries |
2 people |
How I did it: I got a few doctors' recommendations and I decided for the one I felt would do a better job. I organized a trip to the city where the hospital was located and asked my mother to come with me. I took a lot of care of my eyes before and after surgery, and now it's one of the best decisions I've ever taken! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took extra gigs besides my full-time job and I would save everything I'd make on those. Also, I would take some money from each paycheck, even if it was just $50 or $100. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I joined xlovespellx goal and this helps me a lot, since it makes me feel accountable - i'm checking on her and i know she'll be reading my entries too. (Thanks! ;)I keep using nail strenghtener, cuticle and hand cream and taking care of my nails. I keep them short, so i don't feel as much temptation to bite. When I feel the urge to bite, I put a band-aid on my fingernail for a few hours (annoying but efficient!!). Read how I did it…
After six weeks of not biting, I got really stressed out one night and bit my two weaker ones. like crazy. one of them is almost completely gone, so gross… The other 8 nails are not bad, slowly growing, but i need to keep them short, since they are still weak and thin, and they get really dirty if I let them grow.
my regime: nutra nail strengthener. Mavala Stop (bitter polish), and Biotin vitamins. I’m also trying to knit at night, just to relax and keep my hands busy.
I haven’t biten in 32 days. I keep trying and trying, but this time seems to be working… what’s working for me now is applying a bitter polish on my nails every single day. when I taste it, I’m reminded of my goal. I also use strengthener.
My nails look definitely better, but I need to keep them pretty short and two of them were in such bad shape that they are growing very slowly and weak.
One day at a time!
I’ve been trying to stop biting my nails for years and I keep starting and stopping. In the past it’s been very useful to break the bigger goal into smaller periods of time, so here i am again. My birthday is in a month, so this is going to be my motivation.
Wish me luck!
