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 isn’t specifically body-aware, but it is for the life of another human being who has already lost so much. If you don’t mind, can you help my friends? I know someone who is going to need a lot of love and a little bit of money. She and her boyfriend were involved in a drunk driving accident at Cleveland’s “Dancin’ in the Streets” party (one of the area’s biggest LGBT events which raises money and awareness about LGBT and the HIV/AIDS community) that left her with a heap of medical bills post surgery… and without her charming boyfriend by her side. Sadly, he passed away.
Both kids were great LGBT advocates in Cleveland and beyond. This is from my friend Rachel Kacenjar:
I’m sorry that I’m all death, tragedy, death, blah blah blah this week, but this shit is so real. Constance is going to face some serious financial pain alongside her unimaginable emotional pain. She is doing okay post surgery, but I have heard that she has short term memory loss and keeps wanting to know what happened to Mitch. Terribly tragic. She is an awesome volunteer for the organization I work for and has been a sweet darling the entire time I’ve known her. If you can even chip in $5, it will help. This girl is incapacitated and just lost her boyfriend and we need to support her as a community.
Thank you.
