Why can't you get a job, get a roommate and move out?
What happened in her life that she is this way? It must have been something terrible. Does she have any siblings you could talk with, ask about their lives growing up? I'll be she grew up belittled and abused in some manner, else how did she turn out this way?

The college should have a counseling center that you can access for free. Do it. Get counseling, you don't want to carry this and end up repeating the cycle. It can really help to have someone who is not in the middle of the situation to talk to. You may have to visit with more than one counselor to find one you are comfortable with but do it, you have the rest of your life to live, get some tools to do a better job of it than she has done.

What about your father? Where is he in all this? Do you have any siblings? How does she treat them? At some point in time you need to sit her down and tell how you feel and to knock it off. But you have to be prepared for her to react badly so make sure you have a fall back plan - some place to go. You may want to postpone this until you graduate. Perhaps you could start with one point at a time? When she starts in, ie: you are fat, just state calmly," no, I'm not, why would you say that?"

Have you ever called her on her behavior?
