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.

TREAT YO’ SELF.

Today has been the best self care day. Slept in, spent time with my sister, showered, shaved (I don’t mind the fuzz but gotta change it up), rubbed some lovely whipped lavender shea butter all over my bod (thanks to newwavefeminism’s store, self love beauty), got some delicious sushi, then treated myself to a deep conditioning treatment and hair cut at the salon. I haven’t had my hair cut in probably over 6 months.

I also wore a pencil skirt without shorts underneath it for the first time in a long time which was pretty much the most liberating thing ever, especially in this heat!

Do something good for yourself this weekend, babes! I highly recommend it. <3
