EDUC8-OR...
If you were to look in my logbook, you'd notice that the first page was full of flights that never lasted more than .6 on the Hobbs. I felt like I was going to let go each and every time.. On the flight before my private checkride, I told my instructor that we had to land...right then...or I wasn't going to hold my food down. I threw up on short final.
I've only thrown up one other time...during a NIFA SAFECON event (I was flying a navigation event, in moderate-severe turbulence, getting thrown around.....those flight bags are really leak-proof!!!). My whole point is that it happens!!! Doesn't make you a bad pilot....just means that you have a sensitive stomach! My commercial ticket doesn't have any restrictions because of it, and it just forces me to keep the flights smooth!!!
Stay at it, and don't give up. It really does start to go away after a while. It takes longer for some people (believe me, I know), but it really does go away.
