29 December 2015 - The picture on the left was taken on the 1st of October, the picture on the right was taken today.  It has now been 3 months and i’ve just come home from a manicure and to be honest I can’t believe i’ve done it. After 20 years of trying to give up and 2015 coming to an end I can finally say i have given up the habit of biting my nails.  It feels unreal to think I am walking into 2016 with nice long nails, its a dream come true.  I have tried so hard throughout the years to give up the habit but my anxieties wouldn’t let me and they just ended up getting the better of me.  Finally on the 1st of October I told myself this time this long awful habit of biting my nails is going to come to an end (not actually thinking that it really would just being hopeful). I wore a hair tie on my wrist everyday so that if i ever wanted to bite my nails i could fidget with the hair tie instead, and sure enough it worked. Don’t get me wrong after having bitten my nails my whole life this was not an easy challenge and it was a struggle at times but at the end of the day it was worth it. To all those nail biters out there who are trying to break the habit just like I was I just want to say it is achievable, for someone like me who had no faith that i would ever stop biting them to be able to break the habit just shows that you guys can do this! It is definitely a struggle and it won’t be easy but you can do it and the result at the end of the day is definitely worth it! If i can do this you guys can definitely break the habit too!
