Out of the pantry is a self-help book and Ronni Robinson and her journey struggling with disordered eating. Ronni has a big secret, and she is ashamed of how food controls her life. She is a slave to food through emotional eating, binge eating, and unexplainable compulsion to eat more junk food. She relates the stigma to a time where her mother hides cookies from her, and the book then takes you on a journey with Ronni growing up and how she deals with this enormously crucial mental illness.
