Have you ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice? Or maybe you've struggled with emotional eating? You're not alone. You'll not be suprised to learn that these habits begin at the early stages of our lives. Many of us have been there. But what if you could learn valuable lessons about healthy eating from a relatable character going through similar challenges?


Enter Theodore. A young boy on the brink of adolescence, Theodore faces the pressures of fitting in and the emotional turmoil of bullying. To cope, he turns to food for comfort, leading him down a path of unhealthy eating habits. Yet, through perseverance and the support of friends and family, Theodore embarks on a transformative journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
