Furthermore, Liz also mentions that growing with a heavy physique had a lot of negative effects on her career. She said, “When you gain weight, nobody looks at you. When I got heavier–and being Hispanic on television is limiting–I played a lot of maids. I would go on the set and people would not look at me. They also tend not to hear you. You have to make them focus on you. If I really want to be heard, I have that command but a lot of heavy women don’t. When I see someone heavy working on television I say, “Oh, God, go girl. You do it.” You know, it shouldn’t stop your life.”
