Why are my parents harassing me about my weight?

They think I'm extremely underweight. And I'm not, only a little bit. I'm 16 years old, 5'3 and around 93 pounds or something. I did have extremely bad eating habits for a while--fasting and binging, etc. And I have had bad eating habits ever since I was very young. Not that bad but I have just never wanted to eat very much at all. About a week ago, my mom finally cracked down on my behavior and forced me to start eating every meal and doing a "weigh-in" every morning, telling me she wanted me to reach 99 pounds. So I did as she told me.A few days ago, I went to my friend's house for a few nights. My mom texted me asking me if I was eating and emailing me things about food and in real life she constantly asks me what I ate. It's very annoying, but even that, I understand; she's concerned. Now, while I was at my friend's house I decided to cut loose and enjoy myself and eat a lot of food. I ate healthy food as well as some junk food like any teenager with my friend. I was sure that I would have gained weight but somehow when I got home I had lost weight! I knew my parents wouldn't like that (my mom forces me to tell her what I weigh)I have no idea why I lost weight. I really did eat enough. But now, my parents are absolutely freaking out on me saying that I'm anorexic and all of these unfair accusations. They won't believe me at all that I actually do eat properly and am not trying to lose weight. Now they want to take me to the HOSPITAL! They are overreacting so much. Please help me. I started shouting at them which made them think I was getting defensive but I wasn't--it's not that, I'm just so frustrated at how they don't trust me. I'm not rebellious, I have always been very open about what I eat and I never try to deceive them or hurt them. I do have body image issues, but I have been obeying my mom about eating but they don't believe me. I don't know why I lost weight. Please...help before they check me in to the hospital or something drastic and unnecessary.

Wow exact same thing is happening to me in real life right now and I know how you feel, it's like there constantly spying on you and just has no privacy for you! The reason for you weight loss is most likely due to your irregular eating patterns and most likely your metabolism or you may have been super active with your girl mates and not seemed to have realised. I suggest gaining on a few pounds just to ease them off a little and not taking you to the hospital, because you may be severely underweight and if your parents do hear that from a doctor... Shit will go down! They will be so much more secure on you and will even start making your meals for you! If you are insecure about gaining weight due to you being scared of "getting fat" I suggest eating a lot of clean foods, such as eggs, pasta, brown rice and natural foods that are high in calories but low in fat!Hope everything gets better and good luck! :D
