    As someone that lives in the world you’re describing and drives everywhere, you’re wrong. Weight doesn’t just all of the sudden exist. Walking 40ft instead of 300ft twice a day is not going to make a noticeable difference. Again walking is healthier, but nobody has ever driven, gotten really fat, and then wondered what happened.

      No but walking 1 km from/to the station or going by bike certainly is. As is walking during holidays or whatnot.

      Most people who gain weight do realize it by feeling it rather than by looking at the mirror, especially since it is a very slow process. If you feel the struggle walking 300 feet and you don’t have other issues, you’ve probably gained a lot of weight already.
