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.

people who say that fat people just need to “be honest with themselves” that they just eat disgusting amounts of food and are slovenly, insecure people

need to be the fuck honest with themselves that they are fatphobic fucktards

They tell you diet’s work, but not to call them that-call them “lifestyle choice”-so your body/mind won’t know you are on a diet.

It’s easy, they say, eat less and do more. When someone has or appears to have lost weight, they’re like, “What’s your secret?”

Diet peddlers themselves sell “weight loss secrets” all the time too. What exactly is secret about eat less do more?

Dieting is both hard and easy, depending on the wind.

The problem is you don’t know you’re fat. Yet, don’t accept that you are fat. That is “giving up” its what causes you to be fat!!!!!

Fat acceptance will cause an “epidemic” of ‘obesity’, even though that is supposed to already have happened.

Always playing fast and loose with history to suit their purpose.

They tell us we are fat because we want to be, but no one would ever want to be fat.

Fat children are created by their parents. Models create anorexic behaviours in children. 

Yeah, stupidity, double talk and hate makes for lots of “honesty.”
