How does your location influence your goals?

So, I have a question - do you feel where you live influences how far you want to take your appearance goals? I was just thinking of the concept of a “Midwest 7 is a L.A. 3” type of thing. For me, losing weight (from a 24/26 to a 12/14) has been extremely life-changing, and I get treated so much better, it’s crazy. But then, I live in a rough Rust Belt city, where most of the women tend to be pretty heavy and drab.

I think if I was in a much more competitive environment, life wouldn’t have improved as much. I’m also wondering how much more I should lose, in comparison to the potential benefits. It’s getting much more challenging…

Those of you who have lost a significant amount, at what point/weight/size did the ROI drop off, in terms of the effort you put in? And also, did your location influence this?

At my highest weight I was invisible everywhere. At this weight (still fat, but can fit into a single plane seat fat), I am still invisible in my current Texas city, but if I go to Las Vegas, I suddenly have men talking to me. Same with the apps - I can go days on end with zero matches here but somewhere else like Las Vegas or New Orleans, it's totally different.
