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.

I got a really nasty message yesterday about my breasts and truthfully, it is an area of my body that I have always struggled with.
Being fat and flat is really difficult sometimes. Clothes for plus size women are typically made for those with large breasts.
It’s hard for me to find other representations of my body even on tumblr.
I need to love my mammaries extra hard to make up for the negativity I feel towards them sometimes, and I will continue posting pictures of my body so my other flat fatties can have something to identify with.
Self Love my piglets.

Fat babes come in all shapes and sizes, and they are all awesome.
