Stop biting my nails

There are two popular methods to beat this habits. The first is to keep nails trimmed short so that you'll have less of a nail to bite. The second is to coat your nails with a bitter-tasting nail biting polish.

This is the best new years resolution I ever stuck to.
What worked for me is always having a nail file with me to make sure my nails were smooth. If I had a snag, I would bite it.

I've gone 5 weeks without biting my nails (since I physically cannot bite them off) but I'm still ending up cutting them super short.

Right now I can't bite my nails because I have temporary teeth which don't have much biting ability. So now the trick is just not trimming them so short.

Thanks to my sister's wedding I can say I've finally broken my lifelong bad habit of biting my nails as of September 2014.

I have tried to stop biting and/or picking my nails for years. I can go a month or two without biting but then I start the process all over again. I will consider myself broken of the habit after 3 months of no normal biting or picking.
