I've never really had to worry about exercising as a kid.

Obviously with less responsibilities, we as kids had more time for leisure activities.

I wasn't much of a jock, but I did enjoy being active.

It wasn't until university

that I realized I needed to actually schedule a time apart from my daily schedule to be physically active.

It got even worse after university when I decided to do YouTube full-time.

Which meant I was sitting down for most of the day animating and drawing.

And when I wasn't doing that, I was sitting down and playing video games.

And when I wasn't doing that, I was sitting down and watching anime.

Eventually I realized, holy crap.

I sat down a lot.

I started gaining weight over time.

It wasn't a drastic overnight change, but people started noticing and pointing it out.

My body usually did a pretty okay job at regulating my weight

and gave me signs when I was eating too much like, Yo, bro, can you chill?

That's like your eighth donut today.

So I did my best to try to exercise.

I signed up at the gym, I played DDR pretty often, and took Nala for runs and walks.

Okay, let's talk about the gym for a bit.

I think aside from the flock of fuckboys in the making, I find the gym to be a really magical place.

It's a place where the tools, actual tools, and motivation are available for a healthier lifestyle.

I'm not saying the gym is necessary to exercise.

You can honestly do a lot of the things from the comfort of your home

or just outside But there's something about going to the gym

and seeing other people working out that just encourages me to do the same

And if you're feeling self-conscious about your body because it's a public place

and people might look

and judge You shouldn't you can't be shamed for going to the gym to get in shape

because you're out of it That's literally why you're there That's

like making fun of someone for going to med school because they don't know enough about medicine The jacked, washboard-looking-ass mofos you see at the gym, they weren't always like that.

Wow!

Everyone has to start somewhere.

It doesn't matter where you start as long as you do.

But of course to feel the magic atmosphere, I first had to get myself to the gym.

In my case, and probably a lot of yours, the problem wasn't exactly starting, but maintaining.

I eventually stopped going to the gym.

I stopped playing DDR often.

Nala resolved to running around in the backyard by herself.

I started gaining weight again.

Clothes started feeling tight, my jeans became uncomfortable to wear, my partner at the time said she preferred me a little chubby because it was more comfy to cuddle with, so I was like, sweet, I can just let myself go!

And so I did.

A few years and 15 pounds later, I meet a fan at a convention.

I'm still kind of surprised every now and then when people recognize me in public, since I don't show my face in my videos often.

Even when I'm wearing a scarf, a hat, a hood, and headphones, some people be like, I-DOMICS?!

Oh shit, what up?!

But this was at a convention, so it made sense.

Anyway, I thought this would be like most interactions I have with fans of my work, but this particular encounter stuck with me.

Now, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't mean any offense, because, for real, you guys who do come and say hello to me are so polite and respectful, I'm very grateful for that.

So, at some point in the conversation, he said, You draw yourself skinnier than you are in your animations.

I wasn't sure how to react to it, so I laughed it off and agreed because, to hell, he was right.

I mean, I do draw my character with a rounded face, but overall he has a sort of slim physique.

His words stuck with me because I always drew myself with whatever hair I had at the time, whether it was a little shorter, longer, red, blonde, or whatever,

but I always kept my body proportions relatively consistent.

I came to an understanding that I wasn't happy with my body.

I still drew myself slim because that was my personal ideal size for myself.

Often, when we have the freedom to create representations of ourselves, whether it be a drawing, a painting, or a photograph,

we tend to alter it so that it may look subjectively more attractive than we actually are.

Why do you think most people only take selfies at certain angles and lighting?

It was the same thing for me.

I was getting older and my body's not what it used to be.

I don't have the same metabolism I had as a kid, and the shit I put into my stomach actually had more consequences than before.

As a disclaimer, this isn't meant to fat shame anyone.

I'm not saying that since I wasn't happy with my weight, you should be as well.

I'm saying that you should all come to some sort of acceptance with your own appearance, and any changes you wish to pursue should include the consideration of your health.

And that's what I wish to be and remain.

Healthy.

But sometimes you look at the bubble tea deal and it's like, I'm weak.

Treat yo-self.

But I do miss being able to run for a few minutes without my lungs imploding.

I miss being able to do a baby freeze without feeling like I'm suffocating a baby

that I'm pregnant with I miss being able to fit into my jeans

and being able to bend or crouch without cutting off my circulation

Joggers are comfy and all

but that's like all I wear nowadays I'm sure 15 pounds

may not seem like a lot for some of you

But it's 15 more than what I'm happy with

and I'm done being unhappy I've started exercising often again trying to fix my diet

and cutting my intake because honestly I just went to the fridge

and cupboard when I was bored like I wasn't hungry

But I just wandered into the kitchen and just wanted to taste something know what I mean

Why does food gotta be so freaking delicious?

But hey, you don't need New Year's as an excuse to work out.

Hell, you don't even need to be overweight to work out

Just find your own personal reason make your own goal do a baby freeze

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

If you guys were like me and needed some catching up to do on some anime, you already know what I'm gonna recommend.

That's right, Crunchyroll!

Years!

I've been waiting.

And yeah, yeah, I know, why don't you just read the manga Dom-eugh.

Because I'm an animator, okay?

I have a better experience watching the animation than reading it.

I'm sorry, it's just a preference.

But yeah, go catch up on season 1 if you need a refresher.

FOR YOU

這個影片適合誰？

該影片適合中高階英語學習者，尤其適合想要提升日常口語表達和聽力理解的人。內容圍繞個人經歷展開，用詞貼近生活，話題聚焦“鍛鍊”這一普世主題，能幫助學習者掌握如何用英語講述真實故事，同時積累實用表達。對於希望通過“看YouTube學英語”的學習者來說，其口語化的表達和自然的語速也非常適合進行shadow speak練習。

值得借鑑的詞彙與習語

jock：指熱愛運動、體格健壯的人（尤指男性）。
regulating my weight：調節體重。
let myself go：放縱自己（此處指不再控制體重）。
washboard-looking-ass mofos：口語化表達，指腹肌發達的人，雖帶粗俗感但在非正式場合中常見。

這些表達生動形象，能讓口語更接地氣，學習者可靈活運用到日常對話中。

如何練好發音？

影片中說話者的發音自然流暢，帶有明顯的口語化特徵，適合用來“提高英語發音”。練習時可採用shadow speech法：先逐句播放影片，暫停後模仿其語調、重音和連讀。比如“holy crap”中的連讀的弱化，以及“started gaining weight”中“gaining”的鼻音發音，都需要重點關注。此外，說話者在講述經歷時的情感變化（如自嘲、無奈）也通過語調體現，學習者可模仿這種語氣變化，讓口語更具感染力。堅持shadow speak練習，能有效提升發音的自然度和流暢度。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've never really had · I've started
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	can't be shamed · isn't meant

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
