March 21, 2015

Matt's story is a personal one, but it's one we can all learn from.

The 22 year-old has worked extremely hard to lose 270 pounds over the past six years, but his proudest moment came when he decided to film himself with his shirt off to prove an important point about body positivity and self-love.

I'm glad there are people like Matt in the world who are not only willing to share their stories but also to inspire others by showing that body confidence comes in all shapes and sizes, and that everyone deserves to feel good about who they are. Here's hoping Matt's inspiring words can help others begin to love and accept themselves, no matter what where they're at in their journey.
