This is a serious disorder. You either tell her you are belimic or you show her this question to let her see it. You could die doing this to yourself,She either needs to see this or have you tell her so she could either help you or get you help right now.
Beauty has nothing to do with the way you look or how much you weigh,Remember that.
So,You have 3 choices...
1.Tell your mom clearly "I am belimic"
2.Show your mom this question/article you wrote about being belimic.
3.Start eating right before you hurt yourself.

I'd really hate to be this rude but Anoerxia and Bulimia is a Disorder. A person who follows this "Strict Dieting" does not know what they are truly doing to themself. They also hide it very well. A person with an Eating Disorder covers their body because their perception of themself is fatness everywhere even when they are very skinny.
It seems like you are acting in this way for attention? I don't know for sure as I don't know exactly what you look like or how you are acting.
Now onto your question. I don't really know what you are going to say to your mother other than you're Anorexic but if you can't tell a close friend.
I am Anorexic. There is no cure for it. I will always have an Eating Disorder. I am eating now and much much healthier before I got help.
If you are sent to a Therapist he/she will ask you lots of questions.
The reason I believe you don't really have an Eating Disorder is because I tried using it as attention seeking. Then, I got nothing out of it and years and years later I began to develop huge problems. My advice to you is to ask yourself why are you doing this to yourself? Is it for attention? Do you have underlying emotions hiding? That's when my eating disorder really came about. I was hiding my emotions.
If you want ANY advice on this subject, I can give sooo much help and information. Message me anytime. =]

I think you know what you are doing is wrong and have taken the first step to correcting this problem by asking for help.
If you are having trouble talking to your mother, as most teenagers do, then their are other people you can turn to for help. A trusted teacher at school, your school nurse or guidance counselor are some of the people at school you can turn to at school.
You mentioned your Aunt noticed your weight loss, could you not speak comfortably to her, even if it had to be over the phone or even by email. I'm sure by what she said she is interested in your well being and would help you tell your mother even if it meant making a special trip to your house to do so.
Lastly, if your over 13 you do not need parental permission to see a doctor. You could and should make an appointment to see you family doctor as soon as possible. Tell the doctor what you have been doing so you can be examined to see if you have done any damage to yourself. Then with your permission the doctor can inform your mother. Being the family doctor he/she would be familiar enough with her to know just how to inform her without totally upsetting her.
Most importantly though is if you are purging you could be doing serious harm to your esophagus. The acids in your stomach are not meant to come up your throat and you could be doing serious harm to the lining of your esophagus. So please see your doctor ASAP.

You need to start you conversation out by saying, Mom I have a serious problem and I am really needing your help. For a long time now I have been making my self sick because I have been worried about my weight. Its starting to make me really sick now. and show her your bones and then tell her what you have been doing. good luck hun if she doesnt listen go to your school counsler a doctor. some body please.

I really don't know how your mother couldn't tell that your sick, it should be obvious. Every mother should know when something is wrong with there daughter/son.
I feel really bad that your going threw this, tell your mother face to face that you are not well,that your anorexic and bulimic, and you think you really need help.
I'm surprised you want help, most anorexics and bulimics don't want help, and they think there fine.
Tell her, honestly what's wrong and I really hope things work out well for you. If you need anyone to talk to, feel free to ask me a question.
I hope I helped, and good luck dear <3
With love,
Emily <3
