"The most beautiful girl in school asked me to prom while everyone else laughed at my weight. Twenty years later, she didn’t recognize me and I used that moment to do something she never expected.
In 2005, both of my parents di3d in a car acc:ident. I was the only survivor. For months, I could barely walk, and grief changed me faster than I understood. I gained weight quickly.
At school, I stopped being Tyler.
To them, I became “The Whale.”
