Thanks.
Well it's not really genetics, to be honest. My mom was a dietician and enforced really strict rules, as a kid I barely had any candy/processed foods/fast foods etc. And my dad was also really strict, I grew up in the projects so to keep me out of trouble he had me enrolled in a lot of extracurriculars including dance (ballet). I ended up tearing my knee at the age of about 13, the same year my dad died, so I just stopped. It was so painful though. Now I gotta be careful with that knee cause it cracks a lot too. But because of that I have muscle memory (even if I slack on working out), and I eat healthy 99% of the time. My mom is skinny as hell too but she's a health nut and she bikes every where. She looks mad young. She's over 70 but looks more like she's in her 50s.
Sorry about your dad
At least you didnt develop an eating disorder or anything like that from the restrictions. I dont even think I can afford to eat 99% healthy lol. shyt be so expensive.
I have problems with my knees too since my both of my legs have been broken and as I age my shyt is only getting worse .
I need to be just like your madre when I get older
