Default How to resist prestiging?

I'm 3rd prestige right now, and prestiging has become a bit of an "issue" for me.

I need any method at all how to resist the temptation to prestige. ANY method.

This may seem ridiculous/funny/amusing to you, but please tell me some methods.

Kthxbai.

(I don't want any naysayers telling me to keep prestiging, by the way.)

Come to the realization that going prestige does not correlate with skill, and in doing so you're wasting your time by losing your progress.

If you want to prestige, prestige.

If you don't, then... wait for it... don't.

just don't go in the barracks section if you can avoid it, that way you don't notice the "Prestige Mode" highlighted

Read the whole message of the prestige mode button. You will not feel like prestiging. But you should prestige to 4th, because the 4th prestige icon is better than the 3rd.

That's not a good reason to lose all my weapons, killstreaks etc.

Yep! Find other challenges or make your own challenges within the game. Getting red tiger or fall camo on ALL the weapons will keep you amused (or frustrated) for a long time.

Get fall camo on all the guns, master all the guns, and get all the attachments for all the secondary weapons too. It will take you so long to do, so you will never want to prestige again. Oh and if you haven't already done so, finish every challenge you have available to you.

Whats wrong with prestiging? Anyways, if you wanna stop prestiging, just think about all the stuff you will lose when you do.

Oh and I noticed the starcraft ghost in your picture. Do you by any chance have starcraft 2? I really wanna get it but I have heard from a few people that it sucks.

I kind of want to prestige, and kinf of don't. So, I'm going for Fall Camo on the F2000 to hold it off for a bit. Question is, once I get the camo, am I going to want to prestige to lose it?

I only have 6 class slots right now, and would gain another if I prestige. However, I don't really use all 6 as it is and if I really wanted to make some new classes, could definitely stand to lose 1 or 2 of the current ones.

make a second account. Level it up to 70. Never prestige it again. When you want to work on titles, weapon attachments, etc...use that account, when you want to play for XP and level up, use the prestiging account. That's how I roll.
