Candace Cameron Bure, 49, Reacts to Weight Loss Trend: ‘Scary’ originally appeared on Parade.
Candace Cameron Bure is known for embracing a healthy lifestyle, and she recently shared her thoughts on the “scary” weight loss trend in Hollywood of using weight loss medication.
“It 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’s a trend,” Cameron Bure, 49, told Fox News about the popularity of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
“I think of my daughter, and she just doesn’t have the same viewpoint of body image that I did growing up, and especially as a child of the ’80s and ’90s. It’s like mine’s all messed up,” the Full House alum continued. “I am middle-aged, and I still have all of these thoughts as to the perfect body and this and that, and it’s troubling.”
Cameron Bure shares daughter daughter Natasha, 26, and sons Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23, with her husband, Valeri Bure.
While it’s become popular for people to lean on medication to lose weight, Cameron Bure said that the younger generation gives her hope when it comes to body image.

“Yet my daughter and her friends and all of that have way less — they don’t think about bodies like that,” she told the outlet. “So, I hope that they do understand that it’s a trend. But yeah, it does freak me out. It makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny because I think it’s very triggering for a lot of people our age that grew up in the ’80s and ’90s. It was the ‘Kate Moss era’ and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is what we have to be attractive.’”
The Fuller House star added that her faith has helped her come to terms with how she views beauty. “And 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,” she said. “He doesn’t love us or value us anymore or less depending on how we look.”
“He’s a God of the heart that judges the heart, and it’s all about who we are on the inside. And that is where I will continually go back to,” Cameron Bure continued. “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’t pay attention to the exterior and places no value in it whatsoever.”
