This is partially inspired by Anne's recent thread where she asked us to talk her out of a crash diet.

Trying on clothes and looking at pictures of myself has me thinking about what weight/size I want for myself. My current weight is healthy and I look fine, so I don't feel that I NEED to lose weight. On the other hand, I could be skinnier and I also do weight-limited sports where I could perform better by losing body fat. I don't have a good sense of how to find the right balance.

So how did/do you do it? I would love to hear others' thoughts and decision-making processes.
