How To Lose 155 Pounds Happily

How To! with Mike Pesca

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.
