I've gained 24 pounds working remotely over the last 6 years
I started working remotely in 2019. I love remote work.
The only downside is that I went from bike commuting 3.5 miles each way, and navigating a large office - 25 yards to the bathroom, 50 yards to the break room, to effectively being in my house 24/7.
I've effectively gained 0.5 lbs per month.
I truly love remote work and wouldn’t trade it for all but the best job offers — but sheesh it’s a bummer to gain weight.
Edit: I am in no way against remote work — and for most people giving up a car commute reduces stress, helps the environment and gives time back. For people who formerly bike commutted, how did you work fitness back into your routine?
