甘いものへの愛と健康への懸念
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello, guys.
So, in the last episode, we talked about, we answered for the message about like my 僕は本当は甘いものを克服しているんじゃないか?
Yes.
Question. And we talked about my, how much I love sweet things.
You're not answering anything question, but you're right.
So, what about, what about you?
Yeah.
You loved, I mean, I remember.
Yes.
You once, or like you had been, maybe.
Yeah.
Loving those sweet things, chocolate, ice cream.
Yes.
Everything.
Yes.
And I remember we talked about that, that you wanted to stop yourself.
Yes.
From going convenience store.
Quick chocolate.
Remember that?
I do remember that.
Years ago.
I do remember that.
Yeah.
But I feel like, I believe you, the situation has been changed, I guess.
And what's your, what would you say about that?
Okay.
Yeah.
So, I, right, that is one of the things that I wanted to talk about.
Okay.
Ever since the channel started, I've been kind of like the, I love all American shit.
I love all American sweet food.
Okay.
I still love them.
Okay.
Okay.
I still love chocolates.
I still love sugar, ice cream, sodas.
American taste.
All those American shit.
But at the same time, my, my, my concern of health has been rising.
Yeah.
And rising.
Yeah.
And that's also true.
So, it's like a push and pull of like, I want it, but I want to be healthy.
I see.
To be healthy, I shouldn't have it.
Yeah.
So, and my concern for health has been winning, you know, over my desire to consume those desserts.
I see.
And yes, I have, I have the mental strength to not consume them, to control my, my cravings.
I controlled it and I'm not consuming it as much.
So, as a result, it does look like I'm not like enjoying them anymore because I'm not actually consuming them as much when you compare myself five years ago or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
I see.
But I still love them.
I still think they're good.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, if you don't think about your health or like everything, you would eat a lot.
Like if you...
I would.
I would.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I would.
Okay.
甘いものとの葛藤
Is that...
You have like really strong mentality to keep yourself away from those things that you love.
Yeah.
Well, that's a very like deep topic right there.
Okay.
It's like almost I'm like hypnotizing myself to hate the food for me to not suffer from the withdrawals of not consuming sugar.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
It's like, hey, man.
Hey, Kevin.
Like you eat this, you're gonna get like, you're gonna, you're gonna get diabetes.
You're gonna get fucking, you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna die soon.
You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna be overweight.
Yeah.
And your health is gonna deteriorate.
It's like I've almost like talked myself into like, you know, not have those sugar not seem desirable.
I see.
Even though ultimately, secretly, deep inside, I know it tastes good.
Yeah.
But like, like I've talked myself into like thinking that, hey, it's not good for your body, Kevin.
You want things that are good for your body, right, Kevin?
There's a big Kevin inside you.
There's a big Kevin inside me.
The big brother.
Right.
Who's like, who's like, you know, who's taking on the challenge of like being healthier.
All right.
So I'm letting him take control of the wheel.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
So those things are not even like good things for you anymore.
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah.
Like every time I consume them, it's like, all right, let's work out.
Cancel that out.
Yeah.
Let's be healthier.
I see.
I see.
Because I ate a lot of sugar today.
Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah.
That's great.
Because I know there are so many people, including me, there are many things that really like
looks attractive, but deep inside we know it's not for a longer time maybe, good for yourself.
Yeah.
But you're sometimes like lost to those like self-discipline.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, it's not like I've completely cut everything off my life.
Yeah, of course.
I do treat myself from day to day.
Yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Hey, I feel tired.
Let me give myself a little bit of a...
Yeah.
But I don't like indulge completely.
メンタル戦略の重要性
One whole packet of chocolate.
Yeah, I don't do that anymore.
That I would never do, probably.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Having big brother in your mind.
That's right.
That's right.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah.
It's just like, you know, Honda Keisuke-san, he had little Honda inside of his mind.
Oh, really?
And every time he, like, for example, like penalty kick, which way should I kick the ball?
Hey, little Honda.
And he answered.
Oh, shit.
That's how he decides his kind of ways.
So he, like, talks to his little inside...
Little Honda.
Little Honda.
How does that work out?
Like, what's the difference between he just thinking about it himself versus, like, talking
to little Honda?
I don't know.
How is that going to make a difference?
Just like you said, like, it's a kind of different guy inside.
I see.
That's what he said.
Like, he himself is like a...
That's what he said, but he himself is a weak guy.
I see.
But he has little Honda in his mind.
And he's really strong.
Oh, he's the big brother.
He's the big brother.
I see.
Even though his name is little Honda.
Oh, that made it confusing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see.
I see.
So that's the exact same strategy.
I see.
Is that...
How is that in soccer when you do a penalty kick?
What's the option of, like, I want to go this way?
Like, what's the little brother going to say?
I mean, like, it's not like, let me take the easy way out, right?
There's no...
All choices are the same.
I mean, frankly, it's just a matter of, like, reading the other player and stuff like that.
I don't think it's, like, a battle against yourself.
Like, how's the little brother going to help you?
True.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He doesn't say.
Yeah, it's just one of the examples.
Oh, I see.
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't have...
Like, for example, like, should I go to the different club, like, as a transfer?
Should I do this move or still be in this team and be a captain or things?
Or, like, go to a higher level?
Or, like, should I...
You know, those, like...
ケビンの甘いもの嫌いの真相
Those things.
Yeah.
Like, bigger decisions.
That makes more sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see.
But yeah, that's what's up with my relationship with Sweet Thanks.
Yeah.
So when we do those, like, Sweet Thanks eating kikaku, are you...
Do you enjoy that?
Yeah, I do.
That's kind of separate from...
I mean, that's more like, hey, I have to do this.
It's a kikaku.
So, like, it's kind of separate from my health life.
I see.
I mean, I would sometimes adjust, you know, before and after.
Like, if you are expecting to eat something, like, heavy.
But I don't, you know...
That has to be done.
Okay, okay.
For me, like, it's like...
It's not really a choice.
Yeah, I see.
So I just keep it separate.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Correct, correct, correct.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye.
