Recently some of the tenants in one of our houses have been going to a healthy eating and wellbeing course run by the Beezee Bodies charity. 

They are third of our houses to undergo the programme in the last 12 months. 

Today, two of the tenants wrote this and wanted to share it with you all. 

Healthy Living with Beezee Bodies

Every Wednesday, we head to the Elwood Centre with our support worker to take part in Beezee Bodies, a program that helps us learn about healthy eating. We’ve been talking about portion sizes, food labels, and how to use a food scanner to check what’s really in our meals. One big topic was how much salt is in a Wetherspoon breakfast and how much sugar is in energy drinks and chocolate!

We also learned about the Eat Well Plate, which shows us how to balance different food groups. Another helpful tool is our special portion plates, which have made a big difference in helping us control how much we eat. We’ve even discussed disability forms for gym and swim sessions, along with sharing recipe ideas.

Beezee Bodies has been a fantastic experience, and we want to give a huge thank you to Alison O’Meara for organising it. She has done an amazing job helping us understand healthy choices and make real changes in our lives. We also want to say a big thank you to our incredible support workers—Tori, Yas, Gary, and TJ—for all their hard work. We appreciate everything you do!
