| After 25 years of counseling, read what people are saying about Dr. Sundermeyer and her books. Often we live our lives, and then re-experience them later with a more profound sense of knowing. "We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time."—
—T.S. Eliot |

| “I want to thank you very much for your encouragement. The magnitude of the impression you’ve left on me from our conversations—words escape me. It means more to me than you can imagine. You have opened my eyes to possibilities of which I did not believe I was capable of achieving or would ever be within my reach. I sincerely appreciate your advice.” |

| “You advise readers in your book, Emotional Weight, to throw away the scale. I commend you! As a man and exercise physiologist, I’m a huge advocate of this. So many people with eating problems define healthy by how much they weigh, ignoring the importance of being emotionally fit, especially men. I enjoyed your book, and find it so worthwhile to recommend because it deals with both psychology and nutrition.” |

| "I have just finished your book, Emotional Weight, and I’m writing to let you know how wonderful I think it is. I’m a health educator and counselor in the field of eating disorders, as well as a recovered bulimic. I’m surprised I didn’t find your book sooner, since it was published in 1989. I have read many books on this subject, and now highly recommend your book to my clients and colleagues. Your approach on how to deal with, and I mean really deal with, the emotional side of weight is refreshing. It is honest and straightforward, and you say from the beginning of your book that “People with long-term eating problems can and do recover!” It is my belief that if you tell people that they will always be recovering, and will always have eating problems then you’re not offering them a lot of hope. This may even provide them with excuses to sabotage themselves, since they may believe that there attempt is somewhat futile." |

| "I don’t think any words I say can begin to thank you enough for how much you helped me. You’ve changed my life for the better in so many ways, and I will never forget you. I feel like a new man. I haven’t had a single stomach problem in 2006! I have my life back, and it feels so great! I haven’t missed a single class due to stomach problems, and I can eat so many foods I missed so much. I even had my ultimate favorite, a chocolate milkshake…no problems! I can exercise regularly, and get to sleep at night. I’m living like a normal person, and my family and I are so grateful to you. In a world that picks movie stars and athletes as their heroes, I gotta say you’re definitely mine. I don’t think I will ever be able to truly give you the proper thanks you deserve, but I hope you know how much better you have made my life.” |

| “I’m so grateful to you for writing your book for mothers. I have not only got my body back, but my life back! I never imagined that motherhood could be so stressful. I wanted everything to happen the way I dreamed. I felt like I was going crazy, and so did my husband! I followed your nutritional suggestions and learned about how my brain and body chemistry had changed. You taught me how to finally slow down and be kind to myself." |

| “After reading your parent handbook, I’ve dramatically changed the way I interact with my 3 kids. You were absolutely right, when you lose your cool, you lose your power as a parent. I finally got it! I do gain power as a parent when I stay calm and work on keeping a strong emotional connection with my kids. At the end of the day I no longer feel like a terrible, out of control mother. I feel peaceful and so do my kids! Thank you so very much.” |

| “I ordered your cookbook after seeing you on a morning television show. I was so very, very, tired of restricting food and calorie counting. At first, I thought, your cookbook was just recipes, but it’s an educational book as well. I didn’t know that certain foods and synthetic additives were actually stimulating my appetite. I’ve been less hungry and have lost weight. Thank you for leading me in the right direction!” |

| “Thank you, thank you, thank you soooooo much! When I first came to your office, I didn’t believe that you could help me, but you did! I had been to several doctors; nothing stopped my hair from falling out. You always listened closely to what I had to say, and helped me nutritionally and psychologically. You’ve done me a great service, and I’m so glad I kept my appointment!” |

| “Through working with Dr. Sundermeyer, our family has made many positive changes, especially in regards to the way we take care of our physical and mental health, and the respect we have cultivated for each other as family members. We are eating, communication, and engaging in a much more compassionate and healthier manner than ever before, and we have Dr. Sundermeyer to thank for her positive, consistent, and honest approach in helping us heal. I have continually been struck by her thoughtfulness and consideration.” |

| “I just wanted to tell you how good and hopeful I feel. You encouraged and helped me in so many ways. If I had a question you always took time to call me back. Now, my body weight is down, and so is my blood pressure and cholesterol. I’m taking total responsibility for what I eat, how I think and feel. Thank you! I’m so grateful God has brought you into my life to help me. The bible says, God sends angels in many forms.” |

| “Health and Weight” issues are often “tired and overdone” topics on the talk show circuits, with no new information being introduced…until you brought “Emotional Weight” to our talk show. Your expertise and sincere interest in people with weight problems hit a nerve with our audience.
Dr. Sundermeyer…you are definitely a treat for producers like us who need an informational, articulate, and professional speaker to present a topic.”
