In this YouTube monologue, Eric Roberts condemns the popular "stomach vacuum" exercise that influencers use to make their midsection appear flatter. He argues that the pursuit of a constantly flat stomach is unrealistic, noting that even the most shredded influencers have natural belly rolls when off‑camera. Roberts warns that chasing such aesthetic ideals fuels body dysmorphia and encourages viewers to stop comparing themselves to curated online images. While supporting personal improvement goals, he emphasizes that a naturally non‑flat stomach is normal and urges acceptance of one’s body rather than striving for an unattainable flatness.

No wonder everybody has body dysmorphia with videos like this. Yeah, I ain't trying to do a thing but keep on running it up. I see they got a couple butts, they still ain't— This is called a stomach vacuum, and people on the internet usually do this to make their stomach appear more flat. And I'm just here to remind you, nobody walks around with a flat stomach all day. All those influencers that you follow who are doing those day in the life videos where they just look shredded, when they're off camera and they sit down. They have those rolls just like you do. So I'm all for you wanting to improve yourself and having goals, but doing stomach vacuums to get a flatter stomach— it's normal for your stomach not to be flat anyway— it's just not worth the body dysmorphia that comes along with it. So please stop looking at unrealistic beauty standards and stop beating yourself up for having a normal body. All right.
