In this YouTube monologue, Eric Roberts argues that individuals seeking weight‑loss or other personal goals should take responsibility for their own outcomes rather than blaming their spouse, family, coworkers, or anyone they live with. He warns that blaming a partner creates resentment and damages the relationship, and he uses strong, crude language deliberately to grab attention. Roberts emphasizes that the decisions leading to success or failure are ultimately the individual's own, and that self‑accountability is the proper path forward.

Chapters

If you don't reach your goals because of your spouse and you feel like shit, you hate looking in the mirror every single day. Who are you going to blame for that? They will start to resent their spouse because they're going to blame it on their spouse. Is that good for the fucking relationship? I said that in a crude way for a reason, because it probably got people's attention. If people aren't going to support you and your spouse or, or your coworkers or your family or the people you live with, you're going to blame them when really you should be blaming yourself. Yeah. Because it's your decisions you're making.
