I have a bad habit of biting my toe nails. How can I stop?


((PLEASE READ TO UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM BETTER))

Yup you read it right. I have been biting my toe nails for over 12 years. I really dig in to it to and am afraid that one day I will catch bacteria and die from some weird disease.

It is so addicting and only people that do it will understand What I am going through. When I get home the first thing I do after I am done medeling for the day at the swimsuit store is I clean the dirt between my feet and Then when I am done I smell my fingers and then begin biting my toe nails

I am a very pretty girl and Im still young and would like to put an end to my bad habbit. Several Guys I know really like me. One of the guys is a hot quarter back at University of Florida and if we start dating I dont want to have this bad habit. Any advise is appreciated

Most physiologist recommend replacing this habit with another similar one. Maybe you could learn to just suck on your toes instead.

can i ask how much you bite your toe nails how short and do you also bite your fingernails? Report It

THAT IZ SOOOOOO GROSS U SICKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you have obsessive compulsive disorder.Please see a health professional before you injure yourself.Until then keep socks on.

Look for the cure in web pages marked as :bovine foot in mouth disease!

Funny real funny.

well 1st off if that is really your pic. than you should change it secondly there is a type of clear nail polish that tastes sooo gross: had to use it on my fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If that doesn't work that just remember that a hot quarter back likes you

cut your toes off?

Yummy you need to find a better thing to chew try some raw hide bones

lol i have to ask you is that you in that picture? cause if it is keep biting ur toenails

I know that one of my siblings had that problem. After he bit to deep and created an ingrown tonail, he had to get a docter tonumb his foot and somewhat cut into it. after that, he never bit his toes again. It may have been because he wasnt allowed to swim at all during most of our trip to the beach.

Another method could be what my parents tried before that happened. It is a reward/punishment method. For every day you dont bit your nails, reward yourself with something. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but something you like. Every time you bite your nails, do something you dont like to do. Maybe don't go to a movie you wanted to see. This got my sibling to stop for a while, but the problem is you have to stick to the punishments. since your parents cant really do what mine did, you have to be able to.

Just keep your feet clean My brothers been doing it for 40 yrs and kept his feet clean and hes fine

Pervert..ewww

Why not share the bounty...Invite some friends over for a dinner party........you already have the main course.



*didn't I tell you to quit smiling like that??? perhaps a helmet will complete your look !!
