Have you tried counseling? I know that you are under 18, but there are places that offer counseling without parental consent, the trouble is finding them. You may want to call places in your area and see what you can find. or www.somethingfishy.org has treatment/counselers listed.

It pains me to see someone so young struggling like this. I struggled in high school, and it just makes life miserable.
Can you talk to your mom about what's going on? I know it's hard, but if you can muster up the courage to tell her what your real issues are, she will probably be more receptive to counseling and getting you help. I know mom's seem prehistoric and bull headed, but don't forget that she's a woman too and has probably had many self esteem and weight issues herself. Who hasn't?
If that's not an option, please keep talking to your guidance counselor. Sometimes that's all we've got, and it's better than nothing!
Take care of yourself.
