Show Notes

Ashley thought by now she'd be on top of the world. Once severely overweight, Ashley lost 155 pounds and recently ran her first half-marathon. But when she looks in the mirror all she sees are the imperfections. In this episode of How To!, we bring in Brittany O'Neill, the real-life inspiration for the hit movie Brittany Runs a Marathon. Having undergone a major transformation herself, Brittany knows what it's like to feel unhappy after you've crossed the finish line. Constant self-improvement doesn't necessarily lead to self-acceptance, Brittany says. Instead, learn to view yourself through your loved ones' eyes—even say their praises aloud—and soon, you'll see what they see.
