Candace Cameron Bure on weight

Candace Cameron Bure recently reflected on her experiences with weight pressures during her childhood while filming 'Full House' on the podcast 'Pod Meets World.' She described feeling insecure about her appearance, particularly at ages 15 and 16, and recalled being labeled as the 'chubby-cheeked girl.' Bure discussed a specific episode titled 'Shape Up,' where her character D.J. Tanner goes on a crash diet for a pool party, which led to her fainting at the gym due to inadequate nutrition. The episode was developed with her and her parents' consent, but Bure found the experience awkward. She also shared that after losing 20 pounds, producers incorporated her weight loss into the show's opening credits, featuring her on an exercise bike. Bure's candid remarks highlight the challenges of growing up under public scrutiny and the impact of societal beauty standards.
