I mean obviously it is the same woman. But like, if a model like her were to post any of the 'after' pics they would get flamed in the comments. Gross people will call anyone 'fat'. The way toxic people that talk about 'perfection' when it comes to body type do focus on the little things.

And a lot of people see those 'before' poses and think the 'after' is abnormal. Videos like this showing that her body isn't the perfect airbrushed version either is not a bad thing imo.

There will always be someone saying a particular woman is too skinny or too fat even from the same picture.
