Matt Joseph Diaz talks about growing up as a sensitive kid in Brooklyn as part of a tight-knit but traditional Puerto Rican family. By their adolescence, Matt weighed nearly 500 pounds and became part of a weight-loss study that dramatically changed their body, heart and mind. In their early 20's Matt went viral for revealing the loose skin that remained as a result of their physical transformation, as well as the feelings of fear that went along with it. This propelled Matt on an incredible journey of public recognition, betrayal, growth, loneliness, and learning the truth about self-love.
