“I can’t preach body positivity and hide who I am.”
When 22-year-old Matt Diaz was 16 years old, he weighed 495 pounds. Over the last six years, he’s managed to lose 270 pounds, which gets him loads of compliments about his appearance, but doesn’t negate the low self-esteem years of obesity yielded.
“Body image isn’t something that just goes away when you start getting attention,” he said in a previous video.
In particular, he still feels insecure because of the rolls of excess skin that he was left with following his remarkable weight loss.

Ten years ago, I was almost 60 pounds more than I am now.
I had cut my hair short, added a few highlights and really had this frumpy vibe going on. I had two kids at the time, ages 6 and 2. I was trying to be taken seriously as a good mommy and had let myself go. I was eating a ridiculous amount of sugar. I cared way too much about what other women thought of me. I formed new friendships with the moms from school and they frequently revolved around food. I hated the way I looked, but I fit in. After seeing the pictures from a trip to Disney with my family, I wondered how I let it happen. I knew I was wearing a size 14 and at five feet tall, it looked like I was wearing an even bigger size. I had a double chin and knew if I didn’t stop this weight train, I’d be even bigger.
