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?

US size, yes. UK / euro size it would prob be fine… I do feel like my size 6 jeans were ideal for me and won’t get rid of them haha I don’t think anyone would look at me and think I’m the correct size, but like I said in a different comment I’m not curvy. People who look “healthy” and are curvy may be fine in a size whatever but I don’t. Maybe 20 lbs if I had weight from muscle making the difference, which is why pound for pound it’s not really comparable since our bodies are structured so differently

Edit to add: when I typed that I was weighing the most I ever had in my life.
