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.

What makes you think that dropping a few pounds will give you more opportunity?

I am fat. I have always been overweight. I have experienced my fair share of bullshit for being fat, all of which has been out of my control.

But if there’s one thing I AM in control of, it’s how I treat myself and others, where I decide to take my life, and the opportunities I take advantage of.

Whatever you feel is being stripped from you for not being thin enough - it doesn’t really exist. You are capable of any and all things, regardless of weight.

You’re only standing in your own way when you give in and think life will magically become easier the moment you drop a dress size.
