Half praise, half complaint

I don't know if complaint is the right word, but in any case it is a good natured complaint. I have lost about 40 pounds since Feb. This means I am able to get into some of my older clothes. This is very praise worthy.

The problem is I just bought a gun belt sometime in march and I only have 1 notch left. Also my old duty belt is getting too big for me and I will have to get a new one and set it up. So those are my complaints, but there are worse problems to have.

As for the weightloss, it is mostly God. I don't think my efforts could produce such a dramatic effect or are enough to account for all this weightloss. It is through His grace that anything this good could happen to me.

Write a book! There's a ton of money to be made in this field.

Praising God with you. The problems you have are, indeed, good problems to have.

I priced duty belts and a new safariland will run me about 70 dollars. Plus there is the pain of setting it up. Maybe I should just gain weight.

But seriously there are always costs for progress. We want something for nothing and that ain't going to happen. Even following God can be very costly, it is just that we trust the cost is worth it.

The cost is always worth it! Especially since we know what the end result will be!
