How to stop nail biting: The Update

I decided that enough was enough with the nail biting some time around May, so I did a little weird technique or two to help curb the disgusting habit and for the first time, after so so so many previous failed attempts, the nail biting ceased.
I think it's important with breaking a habit like nail biting to be in a place where you have a desire to stop. If you enjoy nail biting (and in a weird way it is enjoyable, in that it is relazing- non nail biters I understand how bizarre that sounds...) As I was saying, if you enjoy nail biting then you will not give it up even if you try, you have to be at a point where you just feel really negative about the habit, and maybe sad and frustrated about it before you'll give it up.

As they say, when you reach the bottom, the only way is up!

And finally, finally my time came to come up!

I'll share with you my and after shot for now, my nails are even longer than I ever expected, This is how they look today, I just can't believe it when I look at the photograph, I can't believe that the really long or really short nails ever belonged to me!

Below is the visual journey to getting lovely, long nails, finally!

If you are sick of biting your nails too, try this tip that doesn't involve buying a thing, it's quickly becoming one of my most popular videos, and I think it's because it works!

New Video: How to stop biting your nails - How I broke my nail biting habit

If you look back to my older videos, it wouldn't take you long to notice my horrible nibbled down nails. My nails have been this way since I was very little, and the habit has been severely in my brain for about fifteen years now.
I got to the point where I just presumed that I would be 40 years old and still have chewed up finger nails and never be able to wear nice nail polish and still cringe when anyone suggested getting a manicure together as part of a fun girly day out.
One April day I was lying in my bed at home with what I can only describe as a horrible sickness bug, this was the only time that my nails would ever get a small break as I couldn't stand the thought of putting anything near my mouth. It was at this point that I picked up my phone and very randomly just snapped a picture of my nails.

 
Well I was shocked, despite seeing them every day of my life, having a picture just of them really brought home what an ugly state they were in and I couldn't believe that I didn't feel even more ashamed to walk around with hands like that.
I can only akin this experience to an overweight person seeing a picture of themselves and for the first time really realising the extent of their problem and choosing then and there to do something about it.

So this is what I did, and this is my little story:

I think I stopped biting

This is not a walking dead reference, although I am experiencing intense The Walking Dead withdrawal symptoms, but I'm thinking on filling that void with Vampire Diaries- I've heard good things about it!
Anyway...
I've stopped biting my nails I think. It has only been two weeks but it has been a ferocious habit for fifteen years! That makes me feel really old...
When I got my cold last week the last thing I feel like doing is biting my nails, so my nails always grow a little every time I get sick. But this time I just kind of stopped I had a little nail polish technique that I'll proabably do a video on if this turns out to be successful... I'm really excited because nail polish has never interested me since It just looks sort of silly on my childish nails, but now I might actually to do cute nail polish designs and glitter nail polish always looked so fun!

I've give you a little glimpse of a before and now, and if this turns out to really be 'it' then I have a hundred more pictures to show
