There is NO discretion used AT ALL here. I love the concept that the woman is sitting at home tailoring a dress and then stops for a coke break. If ONLY she were as thin as her mannequin again.
I think that's what is so scary about commercials now though, it's so much harder for people to blatantly see how advertising effects their body image. Because, let's face it, if an actress came right out with, "You need to be thinner. You're ugly"...people might get mad. So, we get this:

I think that's bullshit.
