college student needs help

I have been obese all of my life no matter how much I try. So now I am in college and I didnt know what to do about it because my weight is a constant struggle in my life. Now my problems are (1) if i made the decision to do this my mother is completely against it and just thinks its an easy way out (she is completely old fashioned....with everything) and (2) I am currently in college and was planning on getting this done over christmas break which is exactly 4 weeks. Now for my questions: what could I do to get my mom to understand that I am not trying to take the easy way out but rather I am just tired of the constant weight struggle with no improvements and that im just not happy with myself despite how happy-go-lucky I am on the regular and do you think I would be allowing myself enough time to do this in 4 weeks and then go back to school and do you think I could adjust to college life with soooo many food restrictions. I am so sorry this is so long but any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if anyone could give me first handed expierence.
