The marks had gone within twenty four hours, more or less, but there was a bit of a deeper muscle ache this time, for once. By next Thursday I shall have forgotten all about it, and then it will be time for a weigh in and no doubt a reminder!<br /><br />40+ lbs is a remarkable amount to lose. You should get an award for so much. I think losing weight is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. But I did it before, so I know it is possible. But I've never been any good at losing large amounts each week. I tend to just lose a pound or two. I am determined to stick at it. I am fed up with carrying a spare tire around my middle!<br /><br />Hugs<br />Ami Ami Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-4980218150988701342014-01-12T08:15:26.298-08:002014-01-12T08:15:26.298-08:00I haven't read through all the comments, so ma...I haven't read through all the comments, so maybe someone else already said this -- time to bring out the Arnica!<br /><br />Good luck, Ami.

It was very interesting to read, although much of what the guy talks about he repeats over again and again. And it is very basic psychology (if you have ever studied psychology), but I rapidly came to the conclusion that I, too, am a dominant female. Well, that didn't take too much figuring out, I suppose. So this is why I not only have a great deal of trouble forcing myself into a more submissive state of mind, but I think perhaps, deep inside of me, that I don't really believe I shall ever become truly submissive. So, hence, I prefer the word co-operative, because for me, that is a great stride forwards. LOL!<br /><br />That spoon is from hell itself. Especially when he used it several times THE WRONG WAY ROUND. It left such crescents in my tender flesh. We didn't get to 72. I was too worked up. At one point he had to stop and remind me to breathe and I was choking. I don't think it did him or me very much good, truth be told. But it has certainly made me think about my weight and what goes into my mouth during the day. Definitely no more cakes and chocolates, and although I make my own bread, less of that too. The alcohol is more difficult to cut down on, even though I am not a big drinker and only enjoy a glass of wine here and there.<br /><br />A onsie?!!!

I think you are lucky that you had already incorporated spanking 'play' as it would have helped us enormously. Poor Dan - I still remember how shocked he was when I asked him to spank me that first time. <br /><br />I am very glad to know that you have the occasional glitch with consistency in your neck of the woods.

Oh broken skin! Horrid! Tell him that's too hard! Dan swishes and it stings and burns. I value my bottom too much to let him thump. What I did notice is that the bruising was on my sit spots, which he only discovered a month or so ago and is still getting a kick out of attacking. But any bruises I get these days don't last much more than a day or two days at the most. I agree, someone should do some research. Can you imagine - John Smith, Kings College Oxford, reading Bruises on the Butt Caused by Spanking Excessively. Hilarious!<br /><br />Sandwiches in lettuce sound lovely for summer - not so much for winter. I love pitta bread, but I need my meat! I am a carnivore!<br /><br />Do you know, Willie, he used the spoon the other way around a couple of times just to see my reaction. Most of my bruises were crescent shapes due to him doing that!

Weight Watchers worked for me; I lost 19 pounds in 17 weeks five years ago and haven't put it back on.

Ours is made from olive wood and was originally bought in Tunisia. It even has a good thick handle and even after a year shows no sign of deterioration. But I had completely forgotten what it could feel like. All I can say is that I recommend you do what we did at the start, and that was to use a small, thin, pliable wooden spatula. It stung like the devil but was safe to use and good from a beginner's point of view. It was eventually broken during use - Dan got very gungho when using it and I never got around to replacing it. I wonder why?!<br /><br />Baby steps are very important! Sooner go slow and experiment. It's not a race and you will soon find what you dislike and what you hate. You may even find you love some things, like my affection for my leather Rose Paddle which I, together with many others around here, purchased from Leatherthorn.<br /><br />Good luck with your journey!<br /><br />Hugs<br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-66344473018878060372014-01-10T08:26:23.433-08:002014-01-10T08:26:23.433-08:00Thanks, Sara, I don't think I am particularly ...Thanks, Sara, I don't think I am particularly witty, but I have been told I am a funny old pickle! Yes, you do seem to fit all three types. So really we all ought to come to you for advice then, eh? <br /><br />Oh isn't weight loss a nightmare? I can never seem to be motivated when the weather is cold and miserable. Yet when it's hot I can live on salads so long as they are interesting and have low fat dressings. So that means I yo yo as I lose weight in the summer and gain weight in the winter. Sigh!<br /><br />It should have been 72 spanks, but by the time we got to fifty or so I couldn't take any more and they became small pats. I guess I don't have what it takes. I just hope he doesn't decide to add them to the total - if you see what I mean. I think a sum total of around 20 would've been fine by me. And yes, I did get bruised and I was sore all day with some residual soreness even today.
