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.

As I’ve adapted Health at Every Size as a way of helping me practice my own unique health and wellness methods, I find any sort of weight-loss related media to be damaging to my mental health and progress.

So I don’t watch The Biggest Loser or other shows like it, as part of a stringent Media Diet to deflect sources of fat shaming in my life that can be triggering.

I actually just made a video last night about Media Dieting in a series I’m doing on how to deal with fat shaming.

Also - This article touches on a few things I agree with on the subject.

And this.

Oh, and this too!
