Brittany Runs a Marathon
Charles Duhigg: The details of the film are a bit different from what actually happened in your life, but it’s actually pretty close. Like the character in the movie, you said you were unhappy in your mid-20s. I know you were a theater producer at the time, and the play you were working on was nominated for a Tony Award—is that right?Yes, I was able to go to the Tonys—what should be a huge accomplishment. I had to go to Loehmann’s and find a dress.
I was convinced that my weight was the reason for all of my issues. At that time it was why I wasn’t in a relationship. It was why I didn’t have the job I wanted. It was the reason for all of it. In some ways, it made it really easy because the math of losing weight works. Even though it takes a huge amount of energy and focus, it still is an achievable goal.
Running the New York City Marathon felt like such a seminal moment—as if now I’ve arrived and I’m this person and that’s what I wanted. But I was still struggling. I had to take a step back and keep trying to identify what it was that I was dissatisfied with.
