Dear 16-Year-Old, 500 Pound Matt,

After spending a long time in nature, it stopped being intimidating. It started being calm. The quiet wasn't something I feared anymore. It was something I wanted to cherish.

When you go through a difficult, traumatic, or transformative experience, there’s a part of you that wants to hold onto the person you were before it happened. You try so hard to hold onto a simpler time–a time when things weren’t so scary. But you can’t.

This is literally the cutest, happiest thing you will see all day.

This week, Matt addresses everyone out there with a lady as their partner. Which is a lot of us, so listen up.

Matt talks about how to deal with being stared at. 

He's a very important member of our little corner of the web, which comes as no surprise, since he seems to be right on course to take over the whole damn world. Crop-tops and good hair for all!

We met Matt a year ago when he showed us his post weight-loss body.
