Overall I've learned good things from other people's journeys but I've learned lots of real life things like:

people who do not have children most often are not interested in hearing about yours

there are vegetables out there I never heard of let alone ate

that people worry about their patio furniture when an obese person comes to their house (I dont sit now at the few parties I attend.)

that people do feel disgust towards obese people and what people try to tell me is my imagination of someones reaction to me is probably real.
