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.

it’s so hard for me to look myself in the face. it’s so hard to fight the urges to use camera angles and careful positioning to hide the fatness of my face and double chin.

it feels shitty that my self-documentation is so warped by internalized fat hate. time to try to take my body back. i’m so tired of erasing myself.
i want to know what i look like.

Coats like this are a huge factor in why winter is my favorite.

New Chubble Bubble Blog Post! OOTD - Valentine’s Dinner

Can I just say that I LOVE WHEN FATTIES WEAR THINGS LIKE THIS?

Like, I always used to hate wearing over-sized things because I was always told that I look like I’m “wearing a tent” or “omg that’s basically a muumuu, how unflattering” and NO, it’s fucking not. It’s gorgeous.

Also, THOSE FUCKING SHOES AND THAT HAT AND THAT HAIR. I have no words.

Sorry, excuse my splooge.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT BREATHING EASY

So my super dope homechick Ray sent me this amazing video. This fierce big boy is giving me EVERYTHING. Attitude, Confidence and Endurance.

These three things are SOOO important and often times as bigger dancers we are the ones who struggle with endurance. I’ll be the first one to tell you I struggle with faster dances. It’s hard for me to keep up and still dance with energy….which then often leads to lack of confidence. I used to get so frustrated with myself and often times get upset. 

I’ve learned the best thing to do is practice, like full out, let it out, scream and shout practice.

As a big dancer you may have to practice more than others not because you don’t have the choreo down, rather to build your stamina. I cannot tell you how many times in college I almost felt like I was passing out after a dance because I was so out of breathe. I’ve learned that practicing FULL OUT a couple times a week really helps these days. My endurance is high and my endorphins are up, it’s a great feeling!! So keep pushing big dancers, we’ve already proved we can be hot, let’s show the world how we can move!!!! 

You better werk!!!! <333!!

GET IT!!!

I can’t even walk in heels, much less dance. GET IT BABE

You better DO. IT.
