We don't feel awkward about it! We're leaning into it hard. See https://blog.beeminder.com/focus and https://blog.beeminder.com/defail

But it's definitely not for everyone! If your reaction to Beeminder is "I would not do anything differently and just waste money" then you are probably right and should not use Beeminder. We've been around for about a decade which we think is evidence that there are people for whom it does work.

For anyone in the category you describe (tried Beeminder, found their expectations of themself to be unrealistic, quit Beeminder) we definitely want to talk to you.

Also calibrating self-expectations is one of things many users tell us is worth paying for.
