What happens when you grow up feeling like you don't fit in, and then find a way to turn those struggles into strength? That's the story of Anita Abdul-Karim, a registered dietician and author of 'Bad Bitches Don't Diet'. On this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Anita opens up about her journey from a chubby Middle Eastern kid facing societal pressures to a confident advocate for healthier living.

Growing up, Anita felt out of place, not just because of her background but also due to her weight. She faced social and familial challenges that many can relate to. But instead of letting these difficulties define her, Anita used her scientific curiosity to dive into the world of diets and nutrition. Her journey wasn't a straight path; it included significant weight fluctuations and emotional eating, which many listeners might find all too familiar.

In this candid conversation, Anita discusses how food and emotions are often intertwined, leading to patterns that can be hard to break. She shares personal stories of binge eating and the pivotal moments that led her to a healthier lifestyle. Through mindfulness and self-awareness, Anita found ways to overcome these challenges and now helps others do the same. Her book aims to inspire women to break free from societal norms and embrace their unique selves.
