Binge Eating Recovery Coaching in Colorado Springs
If eating sometimes feels out of your control—if you find yourself eating past the point of comfort, feeling driven to eat in private, or caught in a cycle of urges, guilt, and promises that tomorrow will be different—you deserve compassion, not judgment. You are not weak, broken, or lacking willpower. Eating patterns are shaped by many things, and support can help you understand yours without shaming yourself.
At Peace is Possible Recovery Coaching, we offer personalized, compassionate support for people who want to change their relationship with food. You do not need to have a diagnosis to ask for support.

What is binge-eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a recognized eating disorder. It involves recurrent episodes of eating an unusually large amount of food while experiencing a sense of losing control. People may eat rapidly, eat when not physically hungry, continue until uncomfortably full, or feel embarrassed and prefer to eat alone. Episodes are often followed by distress, shame, or guilt.
These experiences can happen to people of any body size, gender, or background. You cannot tell whether someone has an eating disorder by looking at them, and struggling with binge eating is not a moral failing.
What research tells us
- Binge-eating disorder is common. The National Institute of Mental Health identifies BED as the most common eating disorder in the United States. A large U.S. epidemiological study estimated a lifetime prevalence of about 2.8% among adults.
- It is more than simply eating a lot. The DSM-5-TR diagnostic framework considers recurring binge episodes, a sense of loss of control, associated features, significant distress, and how often and how long episodes occur. Diagnosis requires a qualified clinician; this page is educational, not a diagnostic tool.

You do not have to earn support by getting worse
You may recognize binge eating as a response to stress, loneliness, restriction, difficult emotions, or a long day of trying to hold everything together. Or you may not know what brings it on. You do not have to arrive with a perfect explanation. Coaching can be a place to get curious about patterns, practice responding to yourself with more compassion, and identify small steps that feel realistic.
We will not treat food as a test of character or ask you to solve everything through stricter rules. Instead, we can work toward a steadier, more flexible relationship with food and develop practical ways to navigate difficult moments.
How Peace is Possible can support you
Coaching from lived experience
I'm Ronnie, and I spent years struggling with binge eating. I know how isolating it can feel when food seems to take over, and how painful it is to feel out of control and then turn that pain against yourself. My own recovery taught me that compassion, connection, and practical support matter. I bring that lived experience into our work—not to assume your story is the same as mine, but to meet you with empathy and without judgment.
Personalized one-on-one sessions
We start with your experience, goals, strengths, and circumstances. Together, we can notice patterns around eating and emotions, explore coping strategies, build consistency, and reflect on what helps. Your plan is shaped around you, rather than a one-size-fits-all set of rules.
Daily text check-ins and between-session support
Our work does not have to stop when a weekly session ends. I provide daily text check-ins, encouragement as you practice new skills, and a way to share questions or challenges between sessions. This ongoing connection can help you feel less alone while you work through real-life moments. Text support is coaching, not emergency or crisis care, and it does not replace clinical treatment.
Nutrition knowledge with Sara Potter
Sara Potter, our Community Health Connector and Certified Nutritionist emphasizes nourishment, sustainable habits, and rebuilding trust with food and the body—not restriction or shame. Her own recovery journey informs her compassionate approach. Depending on your goals, Sara's nutrition perspective can complement your coaching support.
Our team can support you in developing a kinder, more informed relationship with food. We are coaches, not a substitute for a licensed mental-health professional, physician, or registered dietitian when specialized clinical care is needed.
What coaching can—and cannot—do
Recovery coaching can offer accountability, reflection, encouragement, and help putting personal goals into practice. It is not a way to receive a diagnosis, psychotherapy, or medical care.
If you are experiencing severe restriction, purging, fainting, significant physical symptoms, or other medical concerns, please seek medical assessment. If you are unsure what level of support is right for you, a consultation can be a starting point for talking through your goals and possible next steps.
You deserve support that sees the whole person
You are more than your hardest moments with food. You deserve care that respects your dignity, recognizes your strengths, and makes room for progress that is not always linear. If personalized coaching and compassionate connection sound helpful, we'd be glad to talk.
