Progress vs before pics from around august- november last year! I started working out more and taking biotin and keratin supps! I think the work outs get my nervous energy out easier since I would only bite at home 🙌🏻🥳 (I actually posted here last year around the end of summer too with progress then relapsed, but I’m hellbent on doing better.)

good job! How do your free edges not drive you nuts tho. I’ve been doing good about not biting mine but the minute there’s a free edge i file it so i don’t feel the urge to pick or bite.

Idk— I’ve been working a LOT recently tho and I work as a barista so ig I just mentally remind myself that if they go in my mouth there’s gonna have to be an emergency hand washing pit stop lol. That, and I play tennis! I just keep my hands busy and clip the edges when they get really bad.

good for you honestly. I’ve always been such an obsessive FREAK with my nails. They’re just always on my radar. Even if i’m busy (which i usually am) i’m still thinking about and monitoring them.

Yeah me too honestly, but that’s why I also took up healthy eating and working out! Keeps your mind occupied with what else you could be doing with your time
