I don't, and neither did that sub. Fat people often came to the sub asking to be insulted as motivation to improve their health. I love all people. I hate being unhealthy, and want to encourage others to be healthy for their own good and for their families.

That is definitely not what /r/fatpeoplehate was about.

It was filled with stories about how disgusting fat people are. There wasn't anything motivational about it.

/r/fatlogic is more like what you describe.

I remember fatlogic! I liked that one and I didn't even need to lose weight, I had other things I wanted motivational help for but it seemed so nice. Found it when looking for fitness advice.

/r/fatlogic is actually the reason I lost 70 pounds. I had no idea about calories in/calories out.
