Has anyone successfully stopped a looong habit of biting/ picking nails and cuticles? I’m desperate and have tried the gross polish, i keep my nails painted and manicured, and I try to wrap them once I start picking but the habit (compulsion?) persists.

Yes I have! It has been 3 years now. I get monthly manicures done professionally. My nails look great now so I have no desire to bite them. At fist, the instinctual compulsion was definitely there though just out of habit.

Now I enjoy the self care and little flair that nice nails provide to your overall appearance 💅

I’ve had no luck breaking this habit either. I am considering hypnosis as I really want to stop. Anyone tried hypnosis?

Okay I have hypnosis sessions scheduled, will let you know how it goes!

Habit pattern. You learned it so you can unlearn it and replace that habit with another.

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?
