“YTA-
I don’t believe for a second that this is about her health. This is controlling.
It’s awesome that a low carb diet works for you. It is great for a number of medical conditions. But you are not your fiancé’s doctor. And it is unbelievably unhealthy to monitor her food like this.
For her: she wants a wife not a food monitor. You can actually trigger or exacerbate mental health issues and eating disorders by doing this.
For you: you will NEVER be happy controlling her behavior. Doesn’t matter if it is food, her friends, clothes- whatever. Your fiancé is not an extension of you. You need to remind yourself where you end and she begins.
Additionally, you could use some couples counseling. Often when folks get engaged a lot of our own childhood crap starts to rear its ugly head. Sounds like you kicked up your controlling behaviors. She may or may not be experiencing some self-soothing behaviors like comfort eating. Either way- if you continue down this path you will lose each other.”
