iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’ve realised that because I came off the other text based social media platform a very long time ago, I’ve got out of the habit of sharing random thoughts, messages and opinions on socials. Not sure if that ship has sailed for me. Too many arguments online with dullards can leave you jaded 🤣

When it’s Black Friday… but you’re Black every Friday Surely I should get extra discount 🤔

9) If you’re trying to get in shape for a particular event and using all kinds of unhealthy quick fixes, then be prepared to put on more weight than you’ve lost once you stop. Lifestyle change over unrealistic goals. 10) Find a way to enjoy it! If you’re not loving the process, you’ll give up.

8) Its called a weight loss journey for a reason. There will be ups and downs - no journey is just a straight road with no bumps

6) Celebrate the wins like fitting into an item of clothing for the first time in a few years. 7) Do it for YOU. I know this is on here twice but its really that important. What you do with your body is nobody else’s business but your own!

5) Listen to experts. And I mean real experts - not online quacks who spout BS for profit. Speak to your GP, find a therapist (if you need one), listen to qualified dietician, work with a PT not just focussed on a before/after photo for socials so they can charge others £££

3) There is NO QUICK FIX! No fad diet or workout plan, no operation or drug that will do the hard work for you. 4) Unless you tackle the underlying causes for why there’s been a weight gain (whether medical or mental) then it simply won’t work.

2) Compliments are nice but you have to want to do it for yourself. As with most things, external validation won’t work for the long term. The work has to be internal. And keep most of what you’re doing off socials unless you’re mentally prepared for 1.2m different opinions on what you’re doing.

People have been asking me about how I’ve achieved the weight loss. I’m no expert but I know that for me, having been overweight all my life and having started the weight loss journey I’m currently on in 2008; I’ve learned a few key things: 1) It’s a marathon, not a sprint! Health is wealth

I get to dig out clothes from the back of the wardrobe that I’ve not worn in YEARS!! In 2018, to celebrate 20 years of XL Recordings, I was gifted this amazing Maharishi collab jacket. Made of Harris Tweed, I think I’ve worn it twice? Well, today, it got a run out!

Just need to figure out how to get rid of the endless random homemade art posts on my discover feed. Accidentally clicked ‘art’ as an interest when first setting up my account and now it’s full of random home anime 😩

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

So, for anyone who doesn’t know; I work on and at a radio station called Capital Dance. After pitching the idea to Global back in lockdown, we launched and have grown to be the biggest new Dance music station in the UK! Every week, we update the playlist. Here’s this week’s:

Just bumped into @mrjamesob.bsky.social on the stairs at Global. Meant to tell him his mention of this app on his show yesterday prompted me to re-download it and finally sort out my account after registering and not using it. But forgot. So I’ll tell him on here. Thanks James!
