Recommend a paleo coach?

Hello!
I've just recently started paleo and think I could benefit from a paleo coach. Has anybody had a positive experience with a coach?
I am morbidly obese (need to lose roughly 135 pounds) and would like someone to help me figure out the best way to tailor paleo to my specific needs.
I have a history of binge eating and very strict dieting. I am completely out of touch with things like "feeling full" and "feeling hungry". Things that many people use to regulate their paleo diet. I have no doubt that in the long term paleo will help me get back into touch with my body but for the time being I feel like I could benefit from a coach who can help me navigate the early parts of my journey.
Do you have anyone you can recommend? Ideally the coach would have some experience with morbid obesity. Feel free to send me a private message if that works best.
Thanks!!

This isn't specifically what you asked for but wanted to pitch in my 2 cents. I've never done any individual one on one coaching because of the cost. I have looked into it but found it just out of the reach of my budget. I have done several online group type coaching things. Most recently I did Happy Body Formula which is Paleo based if not 100%. I have also done Whole30 both alone and with an online group. Mark's Daily Apple is a website with a 21 day challenge. All of these have some cost if you want to do it with others but it is minimal compared to some of the consulting fees I have seen. I have had varying degrees of success but find that the more all in I am the better I do. There is a LOT more to all of these than just the menu planning and diet. If you take advantage of all the extras offered and really try to connect within your group you an get a lot out of it.
I get the binge eating and strict diet carousel ride. I have been on it myself most of my life.
My all time high weight was 300+. My scale tops out at 300 and there were times when the weight it told me was ERR which meant over 300 pounds. My weight now is 232. I'm actually up about 5 pounds from where I was two weeks ago. Like most people I have good days and bad days that sometimes turn into good weeks and bad weeks. I truly do believe the Paleo way of eating is the best for our health but it is the mental work that will help you the most.1 -
Thank you Lujo. I appreciate your comments and hearing about your own journey. I'm doing Whole 30 now and really quite like it. I like the simplicity of it. Though I constantly worry about whether I am eating too much or too little... I will check out some of your other recommendations. Thank you! While coaching is likely expensive, I've got some money put aside for health related stuff and I think the money I will spend will be very much worth it for me. I'm looking forward to a coach who will help me ticker with paleo until I get a diet that works well for me. I'm convinced that this is the best forward for me. Thanks for all the recommendations! Really appreciate it!1
