Thomas relaxes after having learning about healthy eating habits

Since joining Beezee Families, Tom and his mum have embraced healthy eating habits.

“The group webinars have helped to motivate us and make healthier living more fun! We have really been enjoying the sessions and have learnt a lot of new things each week.”

 A year ago, several professionals had suggested that Tom (8) and his mum Jennifer join us, but attending a group just wasn’t fitting into their schedule. So when we began offering our award-winning programme as an online course that they could complete from home, they signed up.   

Before they started the course, Jennifer said they were both very dubious. “I wasn’t convinced it was going to help us,” says Jennifer. But unfortunately, Tom was being bullied by classmates for being overweight – so the pair decided to give it a try. 

Jennifer said, “The group webinars have helped to motivate us and make healthier living more fun! Tom has really been embracing the changes and focusing on how he can support the weight loss programme in his own right. I’ve also enjoyed the WhatsApp group community for parents.” 

“We have really been enjoying the sessions and have learnt a lot of new things each week. It has helped us become aware of what we are actually eating,” Jennifer added. She said Tom has been learning about food groups, food labels, and healthy swaps to make overall better choices: “Snacks have been our biggest hurdle, but we’ve both worked on finding healthier snacking options.” 

Being asthmatic, Tom struggles with too much exercise, but he hasn’t let this stand in his way. Both him and his mum began walking to and from school every day, and now he even has a football goal and basketball net in the garden to keep active at home. 

Tom and Jennifer’s dedicated nutritionist, said:  

Thomas and Jenny were a fantastic family to work with. The family had many goals when they joined us, including reducing snacking and becoming more active. The family used our Experiment Sheets as a tool to create these new habits which I’m sure will last the family a lifetime! We are so proud of both Thomas and Jenny and hope they enjoyed the programme.
