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.

for some people, it’s NEVER about the number on the scale.

and there are so many different kinds of wonderful definitions for “health” as it applies differently for us all.

for me, gaining health is working on the relationship i have with myself. doing better things for myself. not being so hard on myself about my mental disorder and chronic skin weirdness and excessive fatness. realizing the goodness in myself in others. mending my brain and my heart.

all of that comes first, before anything else, because it is the most important thing to me. and when i am happy, i am healthy. i make choices i feel are good for me, and therefore “healthy” - because i know me. i know my body.

we all gain health in ways we know are best for us, deep down. it’s all good.
