James Lamper from Weight Matters brings nutrition and psychology together. Interviewed by Stephanie Webster Urban Health Method.
Today we have the founder of Weight Matters James Lamper on the show. He has 25 years experience of supporting clients with weight, food, eating and body issues.
He had a very complex relationship with food since he was young. He said " I was very unhappy and my eating disorder became a habit, a way for me to survive when life became tough. By the time I was 17, I weighed in at 19 stones and 7 pounds (124Kg) and had a 44-inch waist."
In my twenties, I worked as a studio Instructor and personal trainer, which ignited my metabolism, and as a result, I lost weight. My binge eating was still present but was now being masked by the purging of calories through exercise. I started to feel attractive, but I was still very critical of my body shape. I would negatively compare myself to men and other instructors. The taunting critical voices from my childhood were still with me.
WeightMatters has been a natural progression in my journey. I wanted to create a place where people feel heard and understood, so they could bring and resolve their issues around weight, eating, food and body image. I believe it is a combination of psychological and nutritional therapies that make WeightMatters a truly innovative and successful practice."
