Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about the various weight-loss trends taking over Hollywood.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Bure \u2013 who released a new devotional, \u201c100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey\u201d last week \u2013 got candid about the \u201cscary\u201d way certain fads are reshaping people\u2019s perspectives on body image in Hollywood and explained how her faith has helped her in her own journey of finding and embracing body positivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be scary, although I feel like this younger generation has already had so much more body positivity that I hope they understand that it\u2019s a trend,\u201d the \u201cFull House\u201d alum, 49, said. \u201cI think of my daughter, and she just doesn\u2019t have the same viewpoint of body image that I did growing up, and especially as a child of the \u201880s and \u201990s. It\u2019s like mine\u2019s all messed up. I am middle-aged, and I still have all of these thoughts as to the perfect body and this and that, and it\u2019s troubling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYet my daughter and her friends and all of that have way less, they don\u2019t think about bodies like that,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo I hope that they do understand that it\u2019s a trend. But yeah, it does freak me out. It makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny because I think it\u2019s very triggering for a lot of people our age that grew up in the \u201880s and \u201990s. It was the \u2018Kate Moss era\u2019 and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, this is what we have to be attractive.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we know that\u2019s not true,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd we also know just to apply it back to biblical principles, that God does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape. He doesn\u2019t love us or value us anymore or less depending on how we look. He\u2019s a God of the heart that judges the heart, and it\u2019s all about who we are on the inside. And that is where I will continually go back to. No matter how the culture changes in terms of diet and what fad and what body type is in, I know that God loves me for who I am and my heart and doesn\u2019t pay attention to the exterior and places no value in it whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

With drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro used as a weight-loss solution for many, Bure said it\u2019s important to understand the \u201cwhy\u201d behind people\u2019s decisions to use them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t say this to just be a broad brush and be neutral when I say that you really do need to do what works for you,\u201d she said. \u201cI think the most important part is the \u2018why\u2019 are you doing these things? Why do you work out? Why do you eat well? Why do you want weight-loss drugs? Why? And those reasons are very different for all people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I have to come down to the \u2018Why do I want to take care of myself the way that I do?\u2019 I want to be healthy. I want to enjoy my later years as I age. I want to enjoy them to the fullest. So I want a strong body. I want to lift weights. I want to eat well to nourish my body so that I can have a long life with my children and my grandchildren and my husband and I want to be active. Those are my whys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whether weight-loss drugs are included for you in that journey to be your best, that\u2019s up to each individual. And I kind of let that go,\u201d she added. \u201cYou see so much of Hollywood getting skinny all of a sudden, and there\u2019s a little place of jealousy as a woman that it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, this is the easy way out.\u2019 And yet I know that\u2019s not true for everybody. And I really had to just take a step back and say, \u2018Why am I jealous? Why am I feeling this way?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Bure \u2013 who has three adult children with husband Valeri Bure \u2013 shared how she managed to develop healthy boundaries when it comes to body positivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve whipped my body,\u201d an emotional Bure told podcast guests Allie Schnacky and daughter, Natasha Bure, during an episode of \u201cThe Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve spoken to it so harshly. So mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recounting a dream she once had, Bure said a certain Bible verse \u2013 Numbers 22 \u2013 allowed her to view her body in a different light.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then God allowed my body to speak back, and my body said back to me, \u2018Have I not been the body that\u2019s carried you all the days of your life? Am I not your legs that allow you to walk? Am I not your arms that allow you to pick up and feed yourself?\u2026 Why do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly, and why do you treat me this way? I can lift you up\u2026 you have to tell me what to do. I\u2019m following your lead.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it was like this amazing revelation in my life,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd the weirdest story out of the Bible, that God spoke to me about how mean I\u2019ve been to my body. I never saw it that way \u2013 it\u2019s this beautiful, amazing thing that God gave me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bure admitted she now has \u201ca whole different perspective of how\u00a0I think about my body.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress later took to social media to share a clip of the episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so mean to myself\u2026 and looking back it breaks my heart. Learning to speak with kindness to my body has been a journey, and I know I\u2019m not alone in this. To those who relate \u2013 I hope you can feel me giving you the biggest virtual hug right now. And I hope you\u2019ll join me in showing ourselves the grace and love we truly deserve,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said her faith eventually helped her recover. \u201cIt was never about the weight for me,\u201d she told People in 2016. \u201cIt was an emotional issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape,\u201d Bure added. ZUMAPRESS.com<\/p>\n

Ahead of her book\u2019s release, Bure also opened up to Fox News Digital about her personal journey of growth, shared the unexpected ways God has shown up for her, and explained how her new book will offer guidance and encouragement to those seeking daily fulfillment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am always amazed because He always shows up, and it\u2019s sometimes in unexpected ways,\u201d Bure said. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s the way I want Him to show up, and sometimes it\u2019s the way I was hoping He wouldn\u2019t show up, but He did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what I\u2019ve learned over the years in knowing Him and knowing His character is that He\u2019s always there, literally always there,\u201d she added. \u201cSo, sometimes, in the scariest moments, when I\u2019m like, \u2018God, I need you with me. I need to feel your presence. Bring me through this.\u2019 And sometimes you want the win at the end, He brings you through, and you\u2019re like, \u2018Yes, I did it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd sometimes you lose, sometimes you fail, but it\u2019s in those moments that I\u2019ve realized, \u2018God, you were with me. You actually helped push me through, even if it ended up being a failure, even if I don\u2019t feel very courageous, and I feel like it just wasn\u2019t what I wanted it to be. The fact that I actually did it, I pushed through the fear, I had the courage, or I had the stamina to walk another step, that\u2019s because of You.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about the various weight-loss trends taking over Hollywood.\u00a0 In an exclusive interview…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":43406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[568,33969,185,171,3794,33970,14107,67,132,68,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-43405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-actors","9":"tag-candace-cameron-bure","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-full-house","13":"tag-fuller-house","14":"tag-hollywood","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-weight-loss"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114806418657887756","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
