I see you gave up on your anti-nail biting plan..
Not exactly, I gave up on the habit of biting my nails. When I do it now, it's fully controlled and because they are getting uncomfortably long. For awhile I used nail clippers, but I didn't like it, nail clippers don't cut it the way I like it (short?). So yeah, I gave up the habit. I decide when to bite them, so my nails actually grow out.
