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.

These are my breasts and this is my body. 

I am 31 years old and I had twin girls when I was 17 years old. I breastfed those little girls with them big ole saggy boobs that you see up there.

I wish that I had a photo of my breasts before, because they were pretty much the same even before I had my children. They were big and they were saggy and me and my other big boobed friend wondered what was “wrong” with ours since they were never perky.

And you know what? Up until this very year I didn’t even know that my boobs were NORMAL. I have been living all of this time thinking that there was something terribly wrong with my body and thinking that I really should save up for surgery to fix them. So for my entire life since puberty I have been hating my own body (which is a friggen super awesome body that can do loads of awesome stuff) was not normal and was wrong and needed to be fixed.

I had originally submitted my photo at chubby-bunnies, but with the mention of “real boobs” earlier I thought it was a great time to share again now! 

These boobs are real, they are NORMAL and pretty damn awesome!
