I strongly recommend talking to someone you trust or keeping a journal about these feelings. It wasn't right for someone to ask you are you kidding about your weight so disregaurd that.
You're not a stupid person, you're smart for asking. You are actually underweight. The key thing to knowing if you have an eating disorder is;
Do you play with your food or have an exact way of eating things?
Did someone call you fat or is it something you came up with on your own?
Do you read and count calories?
Do you exercise excessively?
Are you making yourself throw up?
Are you avoiding meals and eating?
These are just some of the questions that decipher whether a person has an eating disorder or not. To be on the safe side I recommend talking to a guidence counselor, an older sibling/family member. Because you can't be diagnoised by a bunch of people that's never met you/know your eating habits.
Please just don't disregaurd it. Remember if you do come to have an eating disorder: You're not in trouble for it, you're not a bad person. No one will hate you any more or less, but for yourself and the people that love you, PLEASE talk to someone and get help.
Good luck and best wishes.

You may have a problem if you think you are fat, because at 5'3'' and 100 pounds you are definitely not fat. How old are you? If you are in school talk to a counselor and explain how you feel. S/he may be able to get you some help. You may also want to discuss this with your family doctor if you have one. But you are definitely not fat.
People who are not fat but who think they are fat have a poor sense of their own body image and may have an eating disorder. An eating disorder can become very serious so if you think you may have one, begin to talk to someone about it. I don't know where you live, but there may be a helpline in your area that you can call anonymously to talk to someone who can give you advice. Take care of yourself.

No, you are not. Your BMI is 17.7, which is UNDERWEIGHT. (Normal is 18.5–24.9, Overweight is 25.0–29.9).
More importantly, how do YOU feel about your body? What's your relationship with food and body like? If you are eating when hungry and stopping when full, that's a good sign. If you are restricting your caloric intake to maintain a lower weight, or you are compulsively overeating, that will certainly throw off your natural weight (or "set point" at which your body settles). It's a shame our culture makes women feel badly about their bodies...
Here's more info. on eating and body image problems, and also to find support groups and/or a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. You shouldn't have to feel this way.
