Matt Diaz had lap-band surgery in 2009 at age 16 .
Six years later , Matt is down over 270 pounds and is a very active voice in the online body-positivity movement.
The video of his extreme weight loss went viral after he posted it online, originally to Tumblr , quickly went viral.
There's no such thing as a "perfect body" because everyone is different, which is what makes us beautiful and great! I'm glad there are people like Matt in the world who are willing to share their stories and inspire others.
Here's hoping Matt 's inspiring words can help others begin to love and accept themselves.
