NSV-Nail Biting

While not directly related to weight loss, I've been a nail biter my whole life. It ties into nervous energy/anxiety I possess which also transfers into binge eating. My goal this year has been to use exercise and food logging to alleviate stress instead of allowing food to be a main cause of stress. Doing this will bring about better sleep, better moods, and a much needed change to my overall health and weight. Paying a little TLC to my nails will help improve my self esteem as I've always had gnawed on looking hands. As of today, I have gone three weeks without biting my nails. I've kept them painted, moisturized, and cleaned up. This has been a big deal to me! My teeth, my hands, and my piece of mind have been thanking me for making a serious effort to give up this nasty habit!

Took 25 years to get that far when I stopped. Been non nibble for a year. YOU CAN DO IT!! and a nice new color can be added to your non food based reward system. Grats!!0

I have my nails gelished ever three weeks. It strengthebs the nails and they look great. Once you do it you never look back.0

Buying a new nail color to paint myself as well as regular manicures has become a reward for both the nail biting and exercising! Feeling good about myself, even with something as small as my nails, helps keep me on track with all my goals.0

Sounds like you are doing well.
I was a nail biter when I was young. It was hard to stop but I've managed not to do it for a really long time now.0 -
I have to wear acrylics or else I bite my nails to bloody stubs. Bonus: they are really useful for peeling and opening things!0
