Liz decides to examine the challenges larger people face by wearing a fat suit, as opposed to - oh, I don't know - talking to a few.
It's actually a book plug. Many years after Ugly Betty was a thing (and Bridget Jones before that), she's decided to revisit that territory by writing about an overweight woman working in a glamorous trade.
This stands out though:
Anyway, she seemingly doesn't learn anything. She decides at the end that we need to be nice to fatties, because they're all self-loathing losers so why make things worse for them. Fuck her.

Despite being well-informed, spending much of my career as a magazine editor trying to highlight the problem of eating disorders...followed by...
I was 29. I was 8½ stone: which is now the title of my first novel. The revelation that I was deluded, that extreme thinness is neither beautiful nor healthy, came when I was made editor of a fashion glossy in my early 40s. After the Dior show, I went backstage to be confronted by supermodel Gisele.She says she's 62, so born in 1958/9. Turned 29 in 1987/88. Fair enough. Turned 40 in 1998/99. So yes, there is some potential overlap between her meeting Gisele Bundchen, being a magazine editor, and the "noughties", but not much.
Six foot, a teenager in jeans and flip flops, as etiolated as a Giacometti sculpture. I realised I could never be thin enough — and should be encouraging young women not to waste their lives obsessing about food.
That is why I wrote the book, its title my target weight throughout the Seventies, Eighties, Nineties, Noughties.
