I'm in my 40s and have never (and will never) own a car. So I chose to live within reasonable walking distance of places I need to go. I walk everywhere, and carry groceries in a backpack. I do these things without even thinking about it. I'm the same weight I was when I was 19. I wear the same size clothes. I don't bother with gym membership. The way I see it, it's just a different way to live. Kinda like when people say "I'm not gonna have kids because that's not what my life is gonna be about". Now, this is only possible in a city that was built (at least) hundreds of years before cars. Having visited the US I can honestly say that some cities (not the ones like New York) are designed completely around the car. Trying to walk everywhere in a city like that is futile and you'll just hate life and everyone around you.
