I know that you mean well when you're giving her advice, but it's really just not that simple for somebody to take advice and get better when they're ill- I would assume that you know that since you've also struggled. Just because you're at a point where you feel able to work on recovery with your therapist and all that, doesn't mean your mom is. I'm sure at one point you weren't exactly helping yourself or taking the advice that other people gave you. You need to accept that it's not that easy. Just because you're in a place where you're ready for recovery, doesn't mean she is. I understand it must be frustrating, but there's nothing you can do except keep offering your support.

I find it extremely rude that you've said these things about your mother, especially calling her a "fatass" when you've said you also struggle with binge eating. It's not an easy thing to overcome; no eating disorder is. I think it would be a good idea for you to figure out how to deal with the emotions you're having about your mother in a more constructive way instead of just being insulting and belittling.

There's been many good suggestions here, and I hope you take some of them.
