 Married for 2 years. My wife has struggled with anorexia in her past and only started getting better after I started cooking for her (when we were still friends). Over the time progress was made, she was back to a healthy weight, started cooking for herself again, and developed healthy eating habits. While she got over her anorexia however I started eating more and more, I wouldn't say it's an eating disorder more unhealthy eating habits. Anyways what prompted me to do something was that I learned that I'm technically obese now (!!!! I used to be so fit wtf happened) so I signed up for a gym and restricted my diet... to literally nothing. I read up on water fasting and decided on going 5 days with no calorie intake, and the weekends off where I'd eat keto. I've done this before I met her so I'm not going in inexperienced.

  I brought this up with a friend and he said it would trigger my wife's anorexia and make her relapse into her old habits. I think it's worth mentioning that she occasionally (once every month or two) refuses to eat anything and I have to coax her and tell her she's beautiful etc. I'm worried that if she sees me going on hunger strike she'll feel compelled to do the same and as I lose weight she'll have more reason to relapse. I do think I'm going to go through with it because I do want to lose weight.

 (As a side note in case you're wondering why I'm going nuclear and jumping into such a restrictive diet, I've tried normal diets before and I can't really stop myself. It's all or nothing.)
