Shes underweight and is possibly anorexic. If she is anorexic, she is ill and needs treatment....;

If someone, even a child, is 5"3' and only weighs 74 pounds, they are in need of help; especially if they think they are fat. This girl probably sees a completely different person than you do when she looks in the mirror. She most likely sees a fat person, but in reality she sounds anorexic. She needs to talk to somebody & get help before it is too late.
To answer your question, though, I believe she thinks she's fat because females tend to compare themselves to models in magazines, and tell themselves that they need to be just like those people who seem so perfect. Also, some people who have been very controlled- like by parents & stuff- tend to find weight to be something they can control...something that nobody, only they can control; kind of like a response to low self-esteem & depression.
Help her find help. She needs to gain some weight! (:

5'3", 74 lbs.
Her BMI score is: 13.1
A BMI score of less than 18.5 indicates you are underweight. You may wish to consult with your healthcare professional or nutritionist to discuss whether any health risks are associated with being underweight
No it's not normal to think this, but most women think they are fat regardless. If she is not eating or vomiting and continuing to lose weight, you may consider getting her help for an eating disorder. she is fairly under weight and if loses more she can have serious health problems and even die
