This film follows Fred Jones, a man whose life is largely dictated by habit, from his morning routine to his eating patterns. An observant owl narrator points out Fred's consistent but often unhealthy habits, particularly his overeating, which leads to weight gain and doctor's visits. With the help of the owl's advice on self-reflection, making lists of pros and cons, setting a start date ("S day"), and practicing self-control and testing, Fred embarks on a journey to change his eating habits. Despite initial struggles and temptations, Fred successfully adopts healthier practices, much to the admiration of his family, who are inspired to make their own habit changes.
