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.

Not because there is anything WRONG with thin white bodies, but because that is what I have been bombarded with and told is beautiful for the last TWENTY YEARS, and in order to undue that wiring I think I need to purge myself of that idea of beauty for a while.

Sorry, I’m just really not interested in white ladies with “perfect” bodies advertised as the highest ideal of beauty. This white lady will never have that body. This pale as fuck white lady is finally disinterested in having that body and would rather not get into a headspace where that is seen as some kind of goal… again.

I’ve seen enough of that shit already, thanks.

Yaaa I need to write out my feeling about this later.
