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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
