This afternoon in the mosque, after talking to one of the senior Muslim brothers, I laid my hand on the Holy Qur'an and recited the Shahadah. Later, after talking to the same brother, my fiancee also accepted Islam.
Please make du'a for the two of us, and especially me that I may be able to practice my new faith without doubts (which I'm having).
As for my fiancee, she had a long talk with one of the senior Muslim men at the mosque. He had functioned as the Imam before the present Imam arrived, I think, and he was very knowledgable about Islam. He talked to her and showed her how belief in the Trinity is rubbish, along with many other things. He told her that she would be lost in the hellfire if she didn't convert. After a long and lengthy discussion that lasted till around 2am, she placed her hand on the Qur'an and recited the Shahadah.
However, she found fasting very hard today. She is almost anorexic and she doesn't eat a lot. I thought fasting would be easy for her, since she ate so little, but it wasn't. Please keep her in your du'as.

The cure to doubts is knowledge so please study Islaam as much as you can and from the right sources too. Remember to always ask questions.
Alhamdulilaah your fiancee took the shahadah too thats amazing please invite her to this site, I'd be more than happy to chat to her and so would many other sisters Insha Allah.

"'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too"

I am not an MD and I would suggest you obtain verification from an MD. But, in my limited opinion, Fasting and attempts at fast are physically and psychologically very hazardous to the health of a person who suffers from anorexia. Typically a person with anorexia will limit their eating to the point where they eat only when it is absolutely necessary. the danger of trying to eat at only a specific time is that the eating time may not correspond with the time they can be encouraged to eat. Eating is not a pleasure for them. It is done only when they have no choice except to eat or die.

akhee, that's great to hear subhanallah! Like many others have said before me, you should seek the opinion of those learned in Islaam to find out whether she is obliged to fast.
Congratulations! All praise is due to Allaah (swt) for having guided both you and your fiancee. I'm very happy for you that one of the big things holding you back has been resolved well!
Some good advice has been given regarding taking things slowly and seeking knowledge to cure doubts. May Allaah (swt) keep you both firm upon the truth and bestow knowledge and understanding upon you, Aameen!
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
[Al-Baqarah: 256]
O you who believe [in Moses (i.e. Jews) and Jesus (i.e. Christians)]! Fear Allâh, and believe too in His Messenger [Muhammad (pbuh)], He will give you a double portion of His Mercy, and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), and He will forgive you. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allâh, and that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand to bestow it on whomsoever He wills. And Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty.
Mashallah Tallah , Welcome to Islam , You have indeed come to the right path. May ALLAH TALLAH bless you both. Really happy from the deep of heart for both of you.
Alhamdulillah! Allahahu akbar! Truly allah guides whom he wills... and those whom He guides no one can misguide.
Welcome home brother and sister... now is the time to read the Qur'an more.
The first year of being a Muslim is a journey in itself... trials and tests will be coming your way... this is expected and is also normal. Just always keep praying for Allah to increase your iman...and make you strong Muslims.
Let us pray for each other... and welcome! it's always great to have a new brother in Islam.
La illaha illalah
45: Surah-al-Jahtiyah
verse 20: "This Qur'an is a Clear Proof and Evidence for Mankind and a Guidance and Mercy for a people who have faith with certainty.
May Allah strengten you and your Fiance' in the deen. May he bless you with a wonderful marriage and enjoy the happines in it and in each other. It is always Alhamduillah to hear someone else excepted the truth. Islam is not hard at all. I ask Allah to continue to guide you and open your heart Ameen.
Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the hearafter and save us from the torment of the hellfire. Ameen. Sura 2:201
