Candace Cameron Bure is speaking out about Hollywood\u2019s latest weight-loss craze and the importance of finding identity in Christ, not culture.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Fox News Digital<\/em>, the actress and Christian author shared her concerns about the renewed obsession with being thin in Hollywood. Calling it \u201cscary,\u201d Bure admitted that the trend is bringing back painful memories from her own childhood in the 1980s and ’90s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it\u2019s very triggering for a lot of people our age\u2026 It was the \u2018Kate Moss era,\u2019 and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, this is what we have to be to be attractive.\u2019 But we know that\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candace explained how different it is for her daughter\u2019s generation, who she says have grown up with more body positivity. \u201cThey don\u2019t think about bodies like that,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I hope they do understand that it\u2019s a trend.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what keeps her grounded in the midst of these shifting standards? Her faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size,\u201d Bure said. \u201cHe\u2019s a God of the heart that judges the heart\u2026 and that is where I will continually go back to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bure, who recently released a new devotional called 100 Days of Joy and Strength<\/em>, says the most important thing is understanding the \u201cwhy\u201d behind the choices we make about our health. She doesn\u2019t judge others who turn to weight-loss drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro, but encourages people to dig deeper into their motivations.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I want to be healthy,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to enjoy my later years\u2026 with my children and my grandchildren\u2026 Those are my whys.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also got personal about how she used to speak harshly to her own body. In an episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast”, she recalled a dream where her body \u201cspoke back\u201d to her, inspired by the Bible story in Numbers 22. In the dream, her body asked, \u201cWhy do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly?\u201d<\/p>\n

That moment changed her perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never saw it that way\u2014it\u2019s this beautiful, amazing thing that God gave me,\u201d she said, tearfully. \u201cLearning to speak with kindness to my body has been a journey, and I know I\u2019m not alone in this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candace also reminded her followers on social media that healing from poor body image doesn\u2019t happen overnight. \u201cTo those who relate\u2014I hope you can feel me giving you the biggest virtual hug right now,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAnd I hope you\u2019ll join me in showing ourselves the grace and love we truly deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the heart of her message is a simple truth: Our worth is found in Christ, not the mirror.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s always there,\u201d Bure said. \u201cEven in the scariest moments\u2026 the fact that I actually did it, I pushed through the fear\u2026 that\u2019s because of You [God].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
