<\/a>Instagram original post #gainingweightiscool @ariannadantone<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n Yes, I know. To most of us, this is a confusion. Other parts of the world might find weight gain adorable or even as a luxury. \u00a0(I have been called \u201cgordita\u201d a loving term in Spanish loosely translating to \u201cpretty chubby girl\u201d many of times by host families while living in Central America. ) I knew they were coming from a place of love but growing up in The States I have been conditioned to see gaining weight as a negative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sadly in our society eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorders have been rampant for generations. But there is a shift that is happening in our society.\u00a0 Modern culture is embracing true body positivity and acceptance more and more each day. We are beginning to slowly make our way towards the understanding of unity between body and mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This notion is what sparked Danotone to share her hashtag #gainingweightiscool with the world. <\/span>\u201cThe hashtag kind of came as an accident, I was not expecting this at all. I was just posting a transformation and I was thought, <\/span>\u2018Wow, gaining weight is cool\u2019<\/span><\/i>.” says Danotone.\u00a0 “I looked at my body and started to think about how much I\u2019ve changed in the past year and thought,<\/span> \u2018This has been cool\u2019<\/span><\/i> this whole experience. At first, I really hated it, and it was awful. Why did I gain this weight? Why did this happen to me? Now I\u2019m so happy that that happened to me and that I\u2019ve learned from it.<\/span>\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Danotone is sharing with the world a bond she has formed with herself that is deeper than skin and bone. \u00a0Through her post, she has invited others to begin to look at themselves and embrace what is staring back at them. She mainly does this through social media. \u00a0As with most movements, the platform of Instagram has been a catalyst for spreading her message like wildfire. But, as we know humans are humans with their own human interpretation of things. So with over 100,000 followers, there has also come some questions and controversy around this trend. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There has been some conversation that this hashtag is a support for people who have traded eating disorders for overused gym passes. \u00a0As most of the photos that are connected to this hashtag are in the fitness community. (With poses that might intimidate<\/a> some I might add.)\u00a0 Dantone simply says that isn\u2019t so. She just notes that fitness is the community she is mainly in so that is where it began to circulate first. \u00a0Her ultimate hope is that the hashtag continues to promote body positivity allowing others to embrace the true joy of self in life. Specifically through emphasizing the mental health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n Danotone is hoping her hashtag will help move the movement of self-love<\/a> along. \u00a0She wants everyone to embrace themselves and embrace this trend by loving themselves as they are. \u00a0The key to this work is mental. When we take time to reflect on the journey of life we gain many things. \u00a0Weight, wisdom, experience, patience, and hopefully a deeper sense of self and love for who we are. So the next time you’re taking a moment to reflect or celebrate yourself and the comfort you are bravely finding in your skin try out the hashtag #gainingweightiscool \u00a0and share your story with the movement.

<\/a>Danotone shares that she has struggled with depression since she was a teenager. With depression comes serious lack of sense in self. \u00a0This tends to be one of the main factors in people developing negative mindsets about their bodies.\u00a0 And we haven’t even factored in our social media society that is always aiming towards perfection! \u00a0When Danotone uploaded that photo she was committing an act of resistance against the status quo. She was taking the time to appreciate slaying the demons of doubt and gaining a sense of pride in herself. Her tag actually said, \u201c<\/strong><\/span>hey, wait a minute, maybe the things I hear in my mind and from society is bull. \u00a0Maybe I can just work on listening to my body and being the best me I can be.<\/i><\/strong>\u201d \u00a0And this is revolutionizing.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
