No..she's speaking to me, but completely misunderstood my post if she were to read my reply, she may see there was a misunderstanding and no need to attack me personally. Im probabably one of the most open minded and accepting people out here...I just didn't like the way the reviews have made the submissive woman in the book seem to be a weak individual..as that is not typically the case in real life. It was a book character opinion.

Gotcha,I figured it out after I went back and reread...

I read al 3 and actually did like the books...Anastasia did get on my nerves from time to time I found myself thinking why doesn't this girl just speak up lol.It wasn't the best thing ever written but I still liked it.The thing about it I liked was Christian's character I wanted to know why he was the way he was and I was drawn to the story because of him.I found a lot of it comical but it also was a bit dramatic it was pretty entertaining overall.

First of all, great replies! It just goes to show that this book and sex in general is a hot topic for all people, women, men, strong (sorry I spelled it wrong in the title....geez!) and those who are not strong in terms of feeling good about themselves. I posted it on my Sunday blog and here for three reasons:

One: to show that I see people write on the forum growing in so many ways, reading about the exciting changes not just to their body but their self confidence; that the weight loss journey impacts our sense of self in so many positive ways.

Two: to show that our sexual preferences have a million different aspects and whatever they are; conventional, different, extreme, making babies or pulling out the whip, as long as they are completely consensual between adults, then go for it! (I especially liked ouroborous' post).

Three: It is just a book, but I have to admit, it has gotten people thinking and talking, and hey, maybe opening up some erotic side that has been dormant in some and for that, OK. It's still poorly written and I wish Anastasia's character was more dynamic and interesting.

Thanks everyone for all the great posts!!!

Just posted my Week 42 of 52 (and have 5 lbs to lose for goal before my year is up). This week I talk about strong women and the newest best seller out there: Fifty Shades of Grey. I'll be interested to hear others thoughts on this popular book.

Sorry, I don't read your blog, but I'm always willing to share my opinion on a book. :)

The books themselves were not good. Poorly written. Didn't make a ton of sense. But considering the author got her start writing Twilight fanfic (equally horrible books IMO), I didn't expect a national book award winning author. I expected a cheap thrill. But I didn't even get that. Maybe the books were so poorly written that it distracted too much from the sex. IDK. But the sex scenes were (IMO) boring. The same thing over and over.

It's SAHM soft core BDSM porn, right? For a bunch of people who dig missionary with the lights out, sure. :)

But I don't think it's unusual for people to experiment sexually. I've talked about these books with many of my female companions and none of us learned anything new. I mean - getting tied up with a necktie? That's not risque, IMO. That's not taboo, or uncharted territory. That's practically Disney. But I know that I'm not your "typical" female, nor are the majority of my female friends. So many women are blushing over this book and going into hormonal fits and IMO it's just silly.

Good for the author for bringing something into the public mainstream. I just got tired of flipping through page after page of the same sex over and over again. Seriously. I'd flip 2 or 3 pages, then read a bit - are we still not there yet Ok...

And I'm sorry, but seriously. What female orgasmed when they lost their virginity? That's how we know it's fiction. :P

..and don't forget the public service.

I'm sure a LOT of husbands out there are VERY glad their wives are reading these books.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
