Interesting post, shame that I see you’ve been here longer than most people but haven’t had much success! Hopefully with the @pifc contest nomination from @chekohler you’ll be able to get some more traction and some rewards!
From the looks of it, you don’t seem to be using tags people tend to browse, perhaps try some different ones?
The I deserve it mentality is a hard one to break free of. I fall into it occasionally when having a stressful day at work or something, and eat things I shouldn’t be. It kind of makes me laugh that we most often associate it with food instead of other things. Then again who doesn’t love a chunk of chocolate cake?!
