WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

RBI focuses on using expressive writing, design-oriented work, photography, media, research, and community input to fuel fat positive, body acceptance, discussion, and outreach. Our goal is to redefine the way we view and think about body image, size, fat, discrimination, health, fitness, wellness, mental/chronic illness, stigma, and other related topics.

We are constantly redefining our own perspectives, and therefore tend to write a lot about our personal experiences. Many followers and contributors are living with anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, and a variety of other body image disorders or mental illnesses, so please be respectful and remember that health applies differently to everyone. Any and all potentially triggering content will be prefaced with a trigger warning.

RBI supports all races, genders, classes, and sizes. We try our best to make this a safe space for everyone. If we are not doing our job or checking our privilege, we invite you to please inform us.

Some of the artwork you see here has been created by our founder or moderators, some sourced when applicable. Please be kind enough to source this blog whenever you share it's content.

We are not health professionals. Any and all advice provided on this blog is supported only by our own research, studies, and personal experiences; nothing more.

This blog is part of the Safe Space Network.

This is my belly, post-laparoscopic surgery to remove a golfball-sized tumor on my left ovary.  I put these pictures all over the internet because yes, I’m around 200 pounds (it’s been going down due to stress) and I’m a size 16, but that is MY belly and we just went through a battle together. 

Plus it kind of vaguely resembles a stormtrooper’s helmet, and that’s kind of cool.

This is awesome. You are awesome. I also have battle scars on my belly (and in my belly-button) from appendix removal surgery. Beautiful!
