Is this normal? My BMI is 15.5, making me underweight, but I always feel like I am too big. Sometimes I look at magazines with friends and point to a model saying I'd like to be as thin as they are. Then my friends tell me I am already much thinner than that person, I don't believe them, then we look up that person on google and find that my friends were right. But in a few days, I start to feel like I should be losing weight.
I eat the same as the rest of my family, all of whom are on the higher end of normal weight. I don't take any drugs or medication at all and rarely exercise, and I'm sure I don't have any condition that would cause this. Is this normal?

It's not normal, exactly, but body image issues like this aren't terribly uncommon, either. It is, however, serious, and I suggest that you bring it up with a doctor.

At first I was thinking it was a eating disorder, but it could be something genetic like a fast metabolism. Try asking a doctor.

It could be body dysmorphic disorder. Essentially, you don't see yourself as others do, and it's normally in a detrimental light. Whatever it is, no matter what you look like, don't change for other people. Don't try to please other people, you'll never satisfy everyone and more importantly, never yourself.
