Ever opened your fridge and felt a pang of guilt at the sight of wilting spinach, moldy leftovers, or that yogurt you swore you'd eat? You're not alone—and you're not a failure. You're human. In Fridge Guilt , Darren Masone invites you to take a deeply compassionate look at your relationship with food, waste, and the pressure to be perfect in the kitchen. This isn’t just another zero-waste guide or meal prep manual. It’s a powerful exploration of the emotional weight of food guilt—where forgotten containers, uneaten meals, and the shame of “wasted potential” silently shape our sense of self-worth. Blending honest stories, gentle mindset shifts, and practical tools, this book will help you: Understand why food waste feels so personal—and how to release that shame - Break free from the cycle of guilt eating and chronic overplanning - Rebuild trust with your body’s hunger and fullness cues - Create a kitchen rooted in self-compassion, not self-criticism - Set boundaries with others around food, love, and expectations - Learn flexible, sustainable habits for meal planning, shopping, and leftovers Whether you're a tired parent, an overcommitted professional, or someone who’s simply had enough of feeling bad every time you clean out the fridge, Fridge Guilt is your invitation to forgive yourself, reset your food habits, and build a kitchen that nourishes more than just your body.
