Actually, almost all of them will try everything except diet and exercise to try and lose weight since they really hate being fat. Then when they continue to fail, they hop on the HAES bandwagon to make themselves feel better about their failure. Of course, deep down, they still hate themselves for being fat and for failing to lose weight, and they also hate thin people out of jealousy.  If you offered a magic pill that allowed them to lose all the weight overnight, you can bet every single HAES proponent would take it in a heartbeat because they all secretly want to be thin and attractive, despite how vocal they might be about loving their bodies.
