[@camillaguarany8761]

As a Psychologist I really hope you (and any people watching this that struggle with mental health and EDs) get the professional help you need! Is very brave of you to comment those things on camera, and be so vulnerable. I hope you feel better and hope you understand that there’s nothing to be ashamed of! Sending you love from Brazil ❤️

[@lauraivanov6609]

I'm so happy that you've spoken about sugar addiction....I once commented on your videos where you shared your sugar addiction because I'm on the same boat and since then I've gotten a lot better and healthier even if it took me a lot of tries. This is a reminder that you should never loose hope and if you put your mind on something never stop and always work towards your goal ❤

[@katarinasurac3695]

It’s beautiful to see you speaking about your experience, about your day at Givaudan. I have never seen you sparkling like that, you seem completely different then usual. And thank you for sharing your struggle, vulnerability is something we should appreciate and value more. It’s the part of the process, part of our lives and ourselves. And it’s okey to feel like that, we don’t need to be always happy and smiled, because that’s not real. When we become aware of our wounds and get familiar with our shadows, then we’ll meet our strength and courage too. And we’ll make space for light to come in. Take all the time you need for yourself, the world will still be here tomorrow and the day after and after. Sending hugs from Mlini, Croatia. 🌹

[@MarlenaStell]

So proud of you for speaking up and being so vulnerable!! I’ve been addicted for many years now and it’s been a lifelong struggle to get off of sugar. Wishing you so much love and health and success in all you do!! Xoxoxo

[@bronwynm386]

Being vulnerable requires immense courage. Be proud of your strength. ❤ I have a sugar addiction, too. I have a stressful job and what used to help was to binge on sugar. I have also focused on diet change and moved to a paleo diet, which also has helped. Stay strong! Be well. ❤❤❤

[@ardenpowers7730]

Thanks for sharing so much of you ! It takes a lot of personal strength and maturity to do so !!!! I strength train about 11 hours a week, and have done so for almost 50 years. Cardio and stretching are also included in my routine. The other major key component is healthful nutrition, on a day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year basis. ( I do not consume any red meat.) Bi-polar disorder runs in my family, which is a road that I have never gone down. Several doctors in the medical profession have explained to me that my training has not only allowed me to be very fit and healthy, but also balanced out my body chemistry. In fact, during a physical at 70, my doctor expained that I had the physiology of a man in his mid 30's . . . I was very surprised !!!! I understood up front, that the rewards of good health were achieved over time with no instant gratification. In other words, it's a marathon not a sprint ! I believe in you !!!!!

[@annbressie8615]

Dear girl it's not the sugar but the feelings that trigger you to go to it for relief. Hence the emotional response you feel.U nder any addiction is some kind of trauma or avoidance. If your physical health is okay, then explore your mental health in the same way. I applaud you sharing your struggle and urge you to get professional help to identify what's happening and then you will truly be healthy.

[@joseluismartin3083]

Sorry for my English, I use a translator. I understand you perfectly. I was an alcoholic and I realized it in time. But I've always been overweight and have been doing intermittent fasting for a couple of years. I have given up alcohol and soft drinks. I have lost a lot of weight and I am beginning to recognize the person I was before I became an alcoholic. Always do it for you and only for you, no matter what others think if you feel good. Cheers and greetings from Mallorca.

[@cristinamunck]

Sharing your story with us Josephine is brave of you and it shows your empathy to others who might also be going thru the same process as you are. In the past I used to consume a lot of sugar and it took me 1 year to completely eliminate it from my diet. So now I can’t stand eating sweets. It gives me a headache and everything tastes much better. I wish you all the best ❤

[@AnaFarrish]

I’m so sorry you are struggling with this, and thank you for sharing. My husband also struggles with sugar. His parents and his younger brother all have developed Type 2 Diabetes. My husband was pre-diabetic. His doctor recommended the keto diet and it has worked so well for him! He’s been following it for three years and his blood sugars are back down into the normal range. And he just feels better and has more energy. I hope it helps you as well, so you can get back to feeling better! Take care.

[@AileenTownsend]

It is so difficult to be open and vulnerable about personal struggles and feelings of shame around our "weaknesses". So thank you for your courage. I am a recent follower on your channel, but I love your personality and content. I always feel like your are so graceful, passionate and eloquent without being pushy to get us to buy products. I wish you all the success on your new keto journey and breaking your sugar crutch. Hang in there! Take it day by day and celebrate the daily successes ❤

[@debrajane7622]

Thank you so much for sharing both parts of this video! The Givaudan part was truly amazing, and something very special and rare indeed! And the life update part was very brave of you to discuss, but so important! You’re so strong, and you’ve got this!! Just keep going, you’re on the right path now. ❤️

[@fullbottleworthy]

I am sorry to hear that you have been struggling with a sugar addiction. I can relate. I too am thin and I often find people disregard my struggles with sugar because of that. I say that to let you know you are not alone. I wish you the best with you eating plan and a smooth recovery ❤

[@12prettythings10]

Keto is great and know that your opening up is so helpful to many who have their own struggles. Thank you

[@nora_julia]

Josephine, we support you and love you! I'm so sorry to see you cry. 🥺😢 I have my problems at the monent as well. It's not easy. ❤ I'm so thankful for your videos you got me into loving fragrances and you are amazing never forget that. I look up to you! Stay strong! 🫶🏻

[@barkupatree6871]

It is good to see you on the road of life, Josephine. Enjoy the journey. Wishing you all the best. Hang tight. May I suggest that you not buy or have around those items around your home. I am unable to control myself around sugar and therefore don’t purchase those items thereby depriving myself of easy access. This results in better outcomes. We love you!!!

[@annr.8883]

Like any addiction it’s never easy! Wishing you so much love and healing! God bless!

[@arellycarrilloavila3317]

Justine, for the people that wish you well, specially for your love ones, the only thing that matters is you, we are by definition imperfect, (nothing to be ashamed of) and sometimes we need comforting from reasons that are ony familiar to ourselvesa. . I celebrate that you´re open now about and I hope you let your husband be your rock for now. wish you the best

[@Omar-zd5dq]

I’m glad to hear you’re incorporating a healthy workout regimen. Strength training and building muscle are highly underrated not only in controlling weight but also in just maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wellness.

[@sarahsanders2611]

Wow Josephine! So proud that you share this with us. To see your vulnerable side is very touching. Brave of you to be so honest about it. Send you all the force in the world to deal with it. LOVE

[@lifeonabudget8513]

I understand the sugar struggle. A whole bucket of sour suckers or a whole bag or sour patch kids. I'd stop for two weeks and then go right back to the sugar. I'm on Keto, as well for 3 years now. I eat 90% healthy, but that darn sugar creeps back in! Good luck on your sugar-free journey🤗

[@NuschBos99]

People don't understand how much of an influence food can have on your mental state. I feel your struggle as I am going through my own. I have started to turn it around since March and feel a million times better for it. So good for you for taking your life back in your own hands. And thank you for sharing.

[@dodolotr]

Breaks my heart to see you tear up, you are so sweet and kind! I know exactly what the struggle is, been dealing with this for years myself and it is so triggering, especially because people tend to be so judgy about everything. I am very proud of you and thank you for speaking about this!!! And just like you told us that we are not alone, please also remember that YOU are not alone!!! Lots of love 💖

[@victoriam.6430]

Thank you so much for opening up to us. I had noticed you had been away for awhile and missed your videos. Glad you took some time off and it just shows we are all human and everyone is dealing with something. 🙂

[@julieschnorenberg5370]

Thank you so much for sharing your health journey! You help by sharing. Much love!❤️🌹

[@ignaciobecerra5244]

Dearest Jus! I just want to say that I really admire you, not only for your knowledge but mostly for the way you share your feelings, your sparkling persona and a lot of stuff, and even I don’t know you I feel like you’re a very close and wise friend! Love you!

[@charlyb4359]

You have made a very brave decision on sharing your personal challenges, I am convinced this will help you immensely, you are a strong woman and will overcome this hurdle in your life, keep strong!

[@celi.ne.x98]

I feel you. It‘s very brave of you to talk about something this personal online. I have a really bad relationship with food in general and bingeing as well. For me therapy has worked so good because, yes I am or was addicted to sugar physically as well, but the main problem was my mental state. Just changing my eating habits was not enough. You will find your personal way☺️ I wish you all the best & how cool are these new things in the perfume industry 😍

[@malygozz]

You can do it Josephine!! Thank you for being open about it. I'm sure we'll all be rooting for you ❤️💯

[@MonahScents]

So glad to see you back! The experience at Givaudan sounded amazing. I also am going through the same thing with sugar addiction. I used to eat 4 boxes of the Ferrero Rochers in one sitting 😢. I'm on the keto diet and it has helped me so much. You just don't realize how much sugar is in EVERYTHING. Sending good vibes your way and stay strong. It does get better and easier.

[@TheMaysoliman]

A big warm and loving hug Josephine. 🥰 We ALL are dealing with “something”, so don’t let anybody make you feel vulnerable about what you are facing. As a matter of a fact, it takes great strength to “own” your challenges and work on them. Wishing you all the best.

[@treyc1306]

Thank you sharing your journey. You too are not alone, we will always be here and support you throughout your time.

[@ethalinia]

Josephine, I completely understand you! I've been struggling with sugar addiction all my life (literally having cookies for dinner half of the time), and it is the worst. I've been on my 'health journey' for about a month now, and even though I don't feel a massive difference (I still eat some sugars, I just decided to switch the unhealthy with more healthy options such as fruit), I feel so great for finally taking back control. And that's what you're doing too, babe, you are deciding every day that YOU are running this show. And that's really powerful

[@alicevoseckova1515]

Thank you for opening up, wishing you to find a healthy balance and sort your mental balance as well, not just physical. I also struggle with sugar and binging when stressed, so thank you for talking about it, doesnt feel so lonely ❤

[@carolinemuller7787]

I really admire your bravery in sharing your challenges - it takes a lot of strength to do this. At some time or another, we all experience difficult times in our lives, and it's up to us to do something about it. You are extremely strong, and I wish you the best of luck with your lifestyle changes.

[@GirlinWonderland05]

I hear you girl, suffering with issues like these since I was 13, 42 now. It’s very hard I know and bless you for being so vulnerable, it’s a lot to do this on KZbin of all places, but hopefully there will be kind and supportive people here to help you through this. Do what you need to do to feel better! 🙏🏻❤

[@gwynnlinn1133]

You’re a delight! Wishing you strength, dedication and perseverance in your battle!

[@matlock77]

Kudos to you for sharing your struggles and the healthy way you are approaching moving forward. This is the way to continue to break down the mental health stigma barrier

[@kristenstone1721]

I would love to hear about non toxic more natural perfumes😊

[@mamoni7703]

Deeply appreciate you putting yourself out there to share your struggles with mental health and sugar. Wishing you strength and health on your journey, dear Josephine ❤🤗.

[@breannacarels6479]

I’ve struggled with similar reactions to wheat and alcohol and cut them out for years. Recently I’ve done NAET treatment for food sensitivities / allergies. I can now eat wheat in moderation with no cravings and no emotional crashes. I’ve decided not to re-introduce alcohol because I’m very happy sober. I’ve been really interested in the link between addiction & allergies/ sensitivities. I highly recommend finding a NAET practitioner. I would bet money you test sensitive to sugar and if so could benefit from the simple treatment. It’s amazing that you are sharing your story. All the best.❤❤❤

[@palomamarino264]

Thank you son much, Josephine for sharing with us, not only about perfumes, but about an specific healthy problem as it is the uncontrollable way of eating sugar that, unfortunately more people are struggling with. In my personal experience, the best way to solve it is reducing gradually the amount of sugar we eat everyday. Obviously, each person is different and I’m pretty sure you’re in good hands and you’ll finally manage the situation for a better and healthy way of life. All my love and support ❤️

[@ScentedSab]

I hear ya! Good luck with your health journey! Same problem with sugar on top of eating disorders in my youth. When I eat keto I feel great, but if I slip up and have a bit of sugar, it all goes to h*ll in a handbasket... Right now I'm going through a super stressful time, and the cravings are horrid. It's great that you've decided to get a handle on it. Sugar is one of the most addictive substances on the planet; I've heard that it can be more addictive than cocaine.

[@kuroshhbg7418]

my dear Josephine wish you all luck I have lived on it for a long time and have never felt so good just one little thing Take care of yourself and there are people who really admire you for your bravery ☺️ thanks to you I have entered the fragrance world. you are my queen of scents

[@maysaraali5772]

I love you Josephine ❤️You’re very pretty, and I’m so happy you opened up to us. Keto helped me so much in regulating my cravings.

[@silviapurse2266]

I can totally feel you, sometimes it's really hard for me too to stop eating something sweet, it's just so easy to loose your control because its such an adictive taste. You are definitely not alone! Some people i know struggle about it too. Everyone needs to find its own way to deal with it, happy to hear you are on your own way already ❤

[@susannahwatt5853]

Glad you’re ok and looking after yourself. Thrilled for you that you’re finding a way to wellness and totally respect you putting yourself out there and sharing. Sending all the love and support from New Zealand.

[@-HRH]

What a pleasant person. I know you're going to beat this sugar addiction as I have. Now I get all the sweetness I need from perfumes haha

[@robertgol67]

I’m sending you positive vibes and definitely missed your videos these past days. Take care of yourself and one of the best things to do is to vent any issue you might be feeling or going through. It’s healthy to unload your troubles, the same way you stop when you are walking because you feel a pebble or stone in your shoe, and you remove it, it’s the same with everything else. Life and all it’s demands is stressful but always make make some quality time for you , because you deserve it. All will be fine!! 😊

[@leilasaint-claire8616]

Just wanted to add, we’re right behind you Joséphine. You’ve brought so much joy in our lives. We want only the best for you. You will be in my thoughts ❤️

[@Lilluna_krk]

Thank you for opening about this issue you have with sugar. The fact you are brave enough to mention that - is huge and it”s not ridiculous AT ALL that you are getting vulnerable about it. Sugar is a huge problem and really hard to quit. Crossing my finders for you. Take care ❤

[@allgenresbops4740]

Thanks for sharing Josephine. This was very brave on your part and I wish you nothing but health and happiness. Mental health struggles and addiction can be overwhelming as well as debilitating if not acknowledged and treated. I hope that you overcome this and any other adversity that you may face down the road not for us as subscribers but most importantly for your family and friends. Stay strong Josephine 💪 🙏.

[@emily_sarah]

You really are one of my favorite fragrance KZbinrs and I am praying for you and believing that God will bring freedom in this area for you. This is a very similar situation I dealt with for years too. Much love to you, and I’m extremely proud of you for your vulnerability and shamelessness about this. Love, Emily aka Scentsei ❤️

[@gressa1111]

Thank you for being so vulnerable on a topic like this. I personally understand suffering mental health as well as eating habits. Something that helped me was diving into psychology and learning why I was the way I was... I'm glad that you are enjoying your diet that is vert important. And also I know that with things like sugar, when you stop eating it, it could be initially very difficult obviously. However, in the long term, those cravings decrease dramatically the longer you stay away from sugar. :)

[@celia5132]

I know how it feels and it's not easy to admit and accept that we have issues to work on. I recently left a place which stressed me out for the past 3 years. With all the mental health scars it left me, I also built very unhealthy eating pattern. I recently realized that I'm basically eating non- stop along the day. Even though I'm feeling so very much full to the extent that i feel my stomach is exploding, I kept eating. Just to ease anxiety from the stress. Not mentioning how much weight I have gained from eating. I'm still trying to find a way to control it. I'm so prod of you that you identified the issue, accepted it and found help. I hope you, me and all other people who are struggling from something will achieve a healthier way of living and defeat the fears.

[@mrrob4590]

Love the channel Josephine. Hope all is well. I don’t have much of a problem with sugar but I’m going to swear off it for a few weeks to support you and help myself as well. Good luck and cheers from New York.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Josephine it is a pleasure to see you again and painful to see your struggle. I hope you succeed and that you remember we love and support you. This was a wonderful style but I felt it took a lot out of you. Give yourself some space and freedom to feel stronger. You will succeed and we are all proud of you and continue to support you.

[@Stefanie272]

Thank you for your honesty. Lot's of love from Germany ❤❤❤

[@emmamihaescu704]

Thank you for giving us a lesson of courage, resilience and responsibility! I cannot even state how much I admire you and how much I wish you all the best that life has to offer! ❤ You are pure class and I feel inspired to be this strong! Out of all the lessons about beauty you showed us, this must be the most precious. Nothing is more valuable than an act made because of pure love - and your willingness to speak about what you've been through, combined with the purest sincerity, is an act of pure love towards yourself, the good in the world and the people who look up to you. May you live a long, healthy life, surrounded by those you care about the most!❤

Pleins de bisous !!! Je suis moi même en train de me désintoxiquer du sucre 😊 On dit que l’addiction au sucre est plus forte que certaines drogues dures. Donc ne soit pas trop dure avec toi même ❤ J’ai de mon côté décidé d’arrêter pour mon bien être mental et physique. J’ai ajouté du sport. Et ça marche 🙂. Le ventre est notre deuxième cerveau. Prenons-en soin 😉

[@PoneThePerfumer]

Don’t be so hard on yourself; you are so brave to share your struggles. I have read somewhere that sugar can be addictive like a drug. Wishing you good luck on your diet journey. Stay strong❤️

[@justynakamecka]

Your trip sounds really interesting! It must have been fascinating to see the laboratory and learn about the production process. Thank you for opening up about your health issues. I was genuinely touched by your emotions, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Many people don't talk openly about their diets or mental health problems, but the truth is that most of us are really good at hiding it. You'll get through this, remember, you have the strength to overcome any challenge that comes your way.

[@sarahlaureen]

Ah là là, tu es rayonnante 💕 Je t'envoie plein de soutien pour ton combat contre ton addiction au sucre 🤍🤍🤍 Trop intéressant l'intelligence artificielle utilisée en parfumerie 😮!! Le labo wow !! C'est super ce petit format vlog👍💕!! Bon dimanche soir !!

Thank you so much for this video and for sharing your story with courage and grace. It really touched me as I struggle with the same thing, and have for as long as I can remember. Hopefully all of us can support you on your journey, and each other as well. I only recently found your channel during your break and I’m so glad I did, it’s already one of my favourites 😊❤

[@marinara5000]

Thank you for being open and vulnerable with us.. I have many vices and escapes, but sugar isn't one of them. Hearing your story made me realize my mother had the same addiction throughout her life. I'll never give up my fatty rich foods but I've started working out! Upwards, friends!!!

[@dennisedelamo8278]

We love you Jus!! We are with you a 100%. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable.

[@jkd104]

Your health is number 1 priority Josephine! We will still be here, but you have to take care of yourself! Opening up to your viewers took so much courage, I respect you so much more for doing that. You are a very strong woman and I have no doubts you'll be able to conquer your addiction. I obviously cannot speak for everyone but I can say that the vast majority of us want the absolute best for you and we want to see you succeed and we are here for you! I will keep you in my prayers Josephine, I am so happy you have sought out the help of your doctor. I wish nothing but life's best for you and hope you can overcome your struggle. Stay strong and determined and don't lose sight of your goals!

[@teenoso4069]

Its a struggle I am familiar with.Oh the magic draw - so much to answer for. In one sitting. Nuts, biscuits, doughnuts, crisps, popcorn cakes, chocolate and usually a combo topped off with golden syrup. In 30 mins I'd run through 2,500 calories. It was like a possession where my hands and mouth would be controlled by something other than my own mind. tried to remove the sugary stuff from the house and when that wasn't possible I would remove myself. When both were not feasible I focused on driving one (bad) nail (habit) out with a series of (good) nails. That's a summary as it was more complex and not every day was perfect, but in the end it was alright. I'm willing the same outcome for you.

[@rippedup4546]

I love Ashley's channel as well because she has a different perspective than most reviewers. Moreover, the Ashley is from my hometown. I'll always support my hometown people.

[@frenchdesk8891]

Thank you for sharing the gem of your Givaudan experience and your wellness journey. Healthy keto here for 3 years and while I’ve had some setbacks, it’s been and invaluable part of my wellness journey. Wishing for some serenity in your journey.

Thank you for sharing. Because of your beauty and size people may not understand food addiction or your struggles. Congratulations and I hope and pray that you get to a better place with your health.

Hey Jus, I appreciate you recording this video and showing that we are humans after all and life is not only rainbows and top 10s :). You do look healthy so I hope your plan works well. Take care !

[@ByScentered]

The majority of 1st world countries (and not only) population is addicted to sugar to some degree. But it's rarely talked about so very few people realize it. There are studies showing it can be as addictive as nicotine and co caine so in reality is way way worse, most probably. It's great that you're opening up about it, I'm sure it will raise awareness and help many of your followers in the process, while you will receive more support, which is always needed ❤

[@dr.dedrickminor1184]

Thank you for your transparency. We all deal with attachments and/or addictions. As Gerald May wrote, “To be alive is to be addicted and to be addicted is to stand in the need of God's grace.”

[@janetg3472]

So thrilled you got to have that amazing experience at the perfumers! It sounds so fascinating...8).......also, thank you for sharing your personal journey regarding sugar.......I have lost count of the number of times I have had a major sugar binge so I can relate to your struggle. ......hello ferrero (eek)......and let's not even start about pastries, I can't go into a patisserie and just pick one tiem, I always will end up walking out with 6, which will be devoured usually the same day.....I have also found the only way that works for me is no treats (unless low/no sugar). I will allow myself honey in tea for example but that's about it.....I say whatever healthy program works for you go for it!

[@teresadoncelabaitua4819]

Sometimes it is difficult to talk about mental health as we can often feel misunderstood but you are very brave for sharing this with everyone and I wish you all the best in this process 💗

[@aditi3333]

First off, you're so beautiful, inside and out. I appreciate you talking about this. I didn't realize other people had this problem. Sweets/ sugar is my issue as well. I think I need to revisit Keto. Again, prayers for all of us to heal. ❤🙏

[@Aitzironda]

I am listening to your talking about your relationship with sugar and I am crying my eyes off cos you have described so exactly what I do and how I feel.. I have tried to change this bad habbit but as soon as I am stressed out and specially since the company I work for declared job suspenssion which has resulted in almost three years I have been jobless and yet still linked to the company, this whole situation has done nothing but getting worst. I got back to work last january 2nd and since then, provided my level of anxiety should have dropped significantly, I took the decisión to re-address my way of facing this issue but it is not beeing easy at all. Thanks for talking opently about this problem!!

[@jeffrivera4701]

I've never commented on a video, but you've inspired me to do so. First, I salute your willingness to put yourself out there, sharing your personal struggle. You radiate kindness and beauty and I'm confident it will be returned to you in your follower's comments. Please allow me to share my empathy and know that thoughts of support are going out to you. Secondly, I would like to share that, although healthy otherwise, I'm someone that must watch my blood sugar levels. I wouldn't say that I have a sugar addiction, but I must finish all meals with something sweet. I've managed to temper my sweet tooth by eating more fruit and dried fruits in place of sweet snacks. Also, I use Stevia in place of sugar. I am not qualified to dispense any health advice, so take what I say with a grain of salt (not sugar!). All strength to you, we're pulling for you!

[@RoannaFernandes]

Hey, yes, it is best to take it easy, and focus on your wellbeing... All the best! Thanks for sharing 💛 🌼

[@lola3498]

Dear Josephine, Thank you for sharing your experience with Givaudan as well as going on your journey to great health. So, for me, my relationship with food and sugar in particular has been a lifelong struggle. Recently, I saw a video on TikTok that shed some light on how gross some of those sugary treats can be and ever since then, I have been avoiding them because that was 🤮🤮🤮 So what I am trying to say is that sometimes, the knowledge of what’s behind certain foods (those that are harmful and not so natural) can save us from making these impulsive choices? Needless to say I have been avoiding them cookies like the plague😅😅😅 Best of wishes to you as you are embarking on your journey. One of the best forms of self love is healthy nutrition and I admire you for having taken the time to share a vulnerable part of yourself with us. You are not alone and you are a courageous woman! Lots of love and encouragement ♥️♥️♥️

I completely understand. I’m sorry you are going through that. If you get to the point you can eat carbs (incl. fruits) safely, I recommend you look into trim healthy mama *without* the sugar replacement stuff. It’s half keto and half low GI carbs with tons of protein ("E meals"). This is what I do when I want to take control of my palate and my health. The e meals keep me very full for a long time and I notice I rarely want to eat sugar afterwards. You can do this Joséphine, we are right behind you 💪
