"In our contract, it did state that that would be a part of it, to lose the weight in the trajectory of the character as she comes to find herself," she added.
Metz's weight loss, and Kate's, will be a gradual process and done in a healthy way. And the actress made clear that she isn't doing this because she's achieved fame.

"Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it's purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren't attractive — because I think they're awesome and sexy," she added. "So I'll just have to make sure that's known, because I'm not selling out the big girls. I don't do that. That's not me."
