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.

Look at the root of the word “fat” and what it truly means. Recognize that all of the negative meanings tied to that word have been fabricated, constructed, and enforced by a society that is severely misguided and misinformed about fatness and health.
Make words your own, make “fat” your own. Talk about it happily. Draw the word on your tummy, look at yourself in the mirror and smile. It is just a word to describe your body size, an adjective. A noun. What it implies is up to how it is used.
If other people have the power to tie negative meanings to otherwise neutral words, then you have the power to tie positive meanings to them.
