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.

submitted by spider-flaps:
I’ve struggled for years with warped body image and self harm, despite having a fairly ‘typically attractive’ physique, but it is slowly getting better with time.
I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t some days where I want to cry whenever I look in the mirror, or days where I can’t bring myself to eat out of the terror of feeling ‘fat’, but its communities and pages like this one that help me through the rough patches.
They help me realise that there’s nothing wrong with any aspect of my body, no matter what society or my own brain might tell me.
So here’s a great thankyou to pages like this, and to all the people who share their struggles and support one another, and to a brighter more body positive future!
