Making mindful choices can lead to weight loss, a deeper relationship with God, and so much more!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was certainly the case for Fit Mother Bethany!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bethany is a mother of two who leads a busy life as a part-time school counselor and an active volunteer at the church where her husband, Brad, is a pastor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When she got married, Bethany was the smallest that she had ever been.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After marriage, she started putting back on a little bit of weight, then during her first pregnancy, she got really sick and started losing weight \u2014 but not in a good way. <\/span><\/p>\n

At that point, the goal became to get whatever calories she could get into her body and keep them there. <\/span><\/p>\n

It worked, and her son was born happy and healthy. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, the habit of eating whatever she wanted to eat, whenever she wanted to eat it, remained. <\/span><\/p>\n

The years and the pounds added up, and Bethany and Brad found themselves unhealthy and needing a change. <\/span><\/p>\n

They knew that if they didn't do it together, neither one of them would succeed. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, they went out and found a plan they could do together. <\/span><\/p>\n

Little did they know that the Fit Mother Project<\/a> and the Fit Father Project<\/a> would lead to so much more than weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n
