I don't think you are the one with the eating disorder here; you're trying hard enough to eat healthy. I think your mother is the one with a problem. And I think it's sad she won't listen to you or atleast let you be free to eat what you think is good. One idea would be offering her to cook instead. Even if you're not a great cook (according to yourself) remember you don't have to be Jamie Oliver to cook up a tasty meal that is also healthy. There are tons of easy recipes you can find on the net.
If your cooking skills aren't the problem, but your mom simply won't enable you to cook, the only sullution would be to once again try to talk some sense into her. You could (for example, if you haven't already) mention the dangers of such an unhealthy lifestyle. If she still doesn't want to listen, then you could offer cooking seperately. She can eat her junkfood dinners and you can fix your own healthy meals; both sides happy.
Also, exersise is an important part of healthy living. Find yourself a sport that fits your interest , go take the dog for a longer walk than usual, go by bike instead of car whenever that's possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.
Lastly, be strong and try not to give in to eating any snacks. No more eating or drinking (except water) after 8 pm also helps.
Good luck! And if you have more questions, just ask!
