OP here.

I am 5'10" and I currently weight 254.6 lbs. I am a fattie.

r/fatpeoplehate didn't hurt your feelings or make you feel bad about yourself. You already feel that way. FPH just reminded you. It doesn't let you forget, and that is a good thing.

I'm not saying you should hate yourself, but you should hate the part of you that is fat.

I would ask that Reddit restore our beloved subreddit. Let the shitlords have their fun; and use it for motivation if it bothers you so much.

As a person who has been fat, then fit, then fat again, I loved this subreddit and it always made me laugh. It also kept me grounded. I've been a fattie for most of my life, and before I slimmed down I always thought "well it's not THAT bad". You really don't realize how bad it is until you aren't fat anymore.

I went from weighing almost 280 lbs, down to 175. It really changes your perspective and you can appreciate the shitlord point-of-view. I look back at my old fattie pics and realize things were definitely that bad. I looked pregnant in every pic, kinda like I do right now.

I was able to pull of this transformation because I worked overseas for a few years and the change allowed me to drop a lot of bad habits and pick up some new ones. When I came back stateside, a year and a half later I had picked up almost all my bad habits again. I wasn't motivated to workout, or watch what I was eating. I put away a lot of food and didn't do shit about it. It is all my fault.

I decided to weight myself last month and I saw that I was 267 lbs, almost right back to my old weight, or close enough anyways.

So for the past few weeks I've been working out twice daily and watching my caloric intake like a hawk. I'm down 13 lbs so far, and watching the progress on the scale is just slightly better than laughing at FPH.
