Actually, the after was taken the prior year. That's why her chair was bigger. They were expecting the return of Megasyndrome.

Wow, good eye HiEv. I was skeptical at first too, until I noticed the persistence of the hands - if you take a look at the "after" picture, those are definitely still fat girl hands she has at her sides. I can't imagine pulling this off without totally replacing the face, etc.

For those who think it's two different people, I made this version of the image (too large to display as an image here). I only adjusted the brightness, contrast, and saturation, to make the wallpaper pattern a bit more visible.
As you can now more clearly see, the wallpaper pattern in the "After" image is badly warped, especially on the left side, while the "Before" is straight.
There are plenty of other clues in the image, such as how identical many parts are, but that warping is the clincher.
