My mom will be 62 in December, she's like 4'11 and 110lbs which she is still upset about because she's always hovered around 105 haha. I've never seen that woman be sedentary, but she couldn't be because she was a single mom of three and for 4 years took care of her best friend dying of brain cancer (she lived with us in lieu of having nurses/she watched me when my mom wasn't home). I aspire to be like my mom because she came from a Bedoin life in Morocco (we're Berbers) and took care of shit from her own physique to my siblings to her passion in work. It upsets me so much my brother has forsaken his health. When my mom visited him she said they ate out every meal, even when she offered to make dinner, and my brother and his boyfriend ate basically only carbs, in HUGE portions. Carby appetizers followed by carby entrees and lots of wine. She sounded defeated. That's never how we ate growing up.
