I started putting on weight around the time I got my car licence (which was a bit later than most, 25)

I used to live in an inner city suburb with good local facilities such as parks, libraries, shops etc, and good public transport. When I visit there now it still seems everyone is quite slim.

I currently live in an outer suburb, the nearest supermarket is 45 mins walk away, and it's impractical to consider walking to the nearest mall (just for fun I looked it up on G maps, it's approximately 2 hours one way). So you really do need a car to get around. You get so used to it that you still hop in to go 2 mins up the road, that's probably the hardest habit to break.

It's 1pm here, and sunny - I think I might go for a walk.
