When long-term friendships carry secrets that become harder to reveal over time

My best friend and I have been friends for fifteen years but I've never told her about my eating disorder, and now she's started making comments about wanting to lose weight and asking me for advice. I want to tell her the truth about my relationship with food but I'm terrified it will change how she sees our entire friendship.
