Life Changing Book!, Mar 28 2004
By A Customer
I just didn't believe it could be true, which is why I had this book in my closet for three years following the time I purchased it. I was scared of it. Scared I could never eat like that and lose weight. Surely, it wouldn't work for me, I thought. For some lucky folks, it may, I believed, but not for me. Finally, in desperation, I pulled out my copy a month ago and have been following it faithfully ever since. I have lost 28 pounds since I began and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! This is the most amazing program, thing, idea, way of eating, I have ever heard of. I am a woman who has fought her weight all of her life! I have had times in my life when I was thin, yes, and I literally starved myself to get and stay there. Well, food is life and you can only white knuckle is so long before you give in and blow it. I have lost over 80 pounds three times in my life and I have always gained it back. I have cried myself to sleep for the past 30 years asking God for an answer, I just wanted to be normal, a normal person, able to eat and not balloon out. Obesity is a terrible disease and those who suffer from it are treated with such contempt by our society. I won't go into too much about Suzannes program itself as there is plently of information out there, check out www.suzannesomers.com. All I can tell is that this program has worked for me and I am thrilled! This is NOT A DIET, I know it sounds cliche', but it is true, this really is a way of life, a wonderful, enjoyable, tasty, rich, way of eating and living. I can do this forever! I eat more now than I have ever eaten before in the past, even at my heaviest!!! This book was the answer to my prayers! I am free, I know, I will never be fat again! I PROMISE THIS PROGRAM IS LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER TRIED BEFORE....LIFE CHANGING! POWERFUL! AN ANSWERD PRAYER!

Excellent book! Even if you struggle with eating disorders., July 16 2003
By A Customer
There is not much to add since there are already quite a few reviews already listed on this site, but I just wanted to add one thing... a really important benefit. This is a fantastic program for anyone who wants to loose weight, or just feel healthier and more energetic, but it is also a program that actually works for people who are or have been struggling with eating disorders. I have had problems with both anorexia and bulimia for a number of years in the past and have always had an odd relationship with food. Although I have been "healthy" for a few years now (it's kind of like having been an alcoholic, you're never cured you just add to the time you are in recovery...). Every time I approach a diet of any kind to loose weight, all the bad memories and bad habits are threatening to return plus my body completely shuts down and goes into starvation mode hanging on to every tiny bit of food you allow yourself to consume. The result is that you don't loose any weight at all - you're just hungry and depressed! With Somersizing this is not a problem anymore. I feel like I have finally been "saved"! Being addicted to food (weather it be lack there of or too much of it) is a real problem, in fact it is to some degree even harder than a drug addiction. Food is LEAGAL, and it is EVERYWHERE... and you actually NEED food to survive, unlike drugs... But enough of that... back to Somersizing... The fact that you can eat until you are full you never feel hungry thus eliminating bad flash backs, and since you don't have to eliminate any whole huge food groups (see Atkins for example) you never feel bored or deprived either. It is simply AMAZING! You feel energized, healthy and happy, and your body actually responds like it is supposed to do - by loosing weight! I never was able to establish a healthy relationship with food until I read Suzanne's book, I thought that in order to be free from the eating disorders I had to accept being a little chunky (not fat but still unhappy with my weight) since my metabolism was severely disrupted by all my roller-coaster diets and my years of disorders and would not comply with a normal diet structure. Not so anymore! I finally ENJOY food! Thank you Suzanne!!!
