Nailed!
I am a life long nail biter. I was never one to bite my nails down to the quick, but I definitely never had nails. I tried all those nail biting things which were suppose to deter you from biting and nothing worked. I could go a few days and then….nom, nom, nom. No nails for me. So when Savvy was here in July, I once again decided to put nail polish on my nails and give it a try for a few days. And imagine my surprise!
But I have learned there is a downside to having nails.
1. Where did all that junk come from to get under my nails? I can’t cook, work in the yard, craft without stuff getting under my nails.
2. You have to keep polish on them (or at least I do to give them any support).
3. When you have an itch, you can hurt yourself scratching.
4. Typing is weird now. There is a ‘click, click, click’ on the keyboard that wasn’t there before.
5. Opening pull tabs is a little awkward.
6. The fingernail polish you put on and hate is the one color everyone else comments on and ‘loves’.
So after 2 months without biting, I think that now means I have established a new habit. Don’t know why, but I’m not questioning it. Now if I can learn not to eat sugar!
I never bit my nails by I was a cuticle puller/nibbler. Ick! The only thing that stopped me was having my nails done. That was how I was in Dallas. That got me obsessed though and I had to go every two weeks to have the done. The chemicals finally decided that I would not have nice nails any longer. My own nails grow very fast but are very thin. Now I dislike having any length of long, preferring ultra short. I've been able to restrain the pulling and nibbling to very little at last but I really hated typing and crafting with nails and yep, where does all that grunge come from that finds it's way under your nails?!!!
