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.

I think I keep randomly directing this blog into a more personal direction sometimes, I hope that’s okay. I never know what anyone expects out of this place, often I wonder how anyone is able to follow me at all. I’m learning so much and soaking it all in and just flying by the seat of my pants. I’ve been really interested in how body image ties into sexuality and intersectionality and I find myself wanting to get quite political as well. I guess I’ll just have to keep redefining body image in all different ways. I suppose the name does apply well.

I’ve got a plan to spruce up the blog layout and make content more accessible, I always feel like maybe not everything makes sense or is easy to follow and that really bothers me. But at the same time I’ve been getting so many lovely messages so I do feel reassured that the best I can do at this point is well enough. I just look forward to a lot of positive growth and outreach in the future and I can’t wait for you all to join me.
