The new contract with the show and Metz mandated her to lose
weight
Metz's character, Kate, struggles with being
overweight. So, she has joined a support group and keeps to a strict diet as
per new NBC drama condition. Kate's weight loss journey will be
"parallel to my life," Metz said.
"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."
