She continued, “But in the long run it never does.

I think every actor brings something personal to a role."
This still rings true for Metz.
She may be set back.
It may not be a perfect ending to her weight-loss journey.
But that’s howThis Is Uscontinues to grip its viewers.
Metz has been called courageous and brave by fans but nevertheless, she stays humble.
OnTwitter two days ago she wrote, “Your weight does not define you!
People’s perceptions are theirs.You are worthy and purposeful no matter what.”
Chrissy Metz, keep keepin' it real.
