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 just went to a new swimming hole for some good old fashioned night swimming and it was so delightful and exactly what my mer-slut heart needed. when we got there we walked out to the end of the dock, promptly took off all of our clothes in front of the other swimmers and jumped in. j-lux and i held hands and i yelled ‘CANNONBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL’ as we jumped in together, it was like, SO obese lifestyle (seriously though jlux is the queen of cannonballz). we splashed around and laughed while the sun sunk into a beautiful pink and i watched gratefully as the stars began to twinkle above our heads. there were swallows and bats and booty and babes and no body shaming, just joy and support and love. i really needed that today because as much as i wish my life was all whimsy and crop tops, it also involves a lot of hard fucking work and sometimes a fat bitch just needs to let loose, you know? 

i’ve been thinking a lot about how like, it’s really important to talk about bodies and fatness and stuff online but it is also really important to embody the things that i am putting out there. i am doing a lot of that work these days. i would have never gotten naked in front of people like that even two summers ago, and it feels really good to be wearing weather appropriate attire (aka no more long sleeves during heat waves) and honouring and trusting my body and the places it can take me.

I love you, I love this, I love these words, I want to take my clothes off and dive in a pool with my lover at sunset. <3
