Candace Cameron Bure was brought to tears while speaking about her struggle with body image issues.

The 49-year-old actress shared a clip from her eponymous podcast on Tuesday, where she spoke about the harsh way she previously treated her body.

Candace shared that she used to be ‘so mean’ to herself, before experiencing a significant realization.

‘I’ve whipped my body. I’ve spoken to it so harshly. So mean. And then God allowed my body to speak back,’ she said.

‘And my body said back to me, “Have I not been the body that’s 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? Why do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly, and why do you treat me this way?’

‘And it was like this amazing revelation in my life. And the weirdest story out of the Bible, that God spoke to me about how mean I’ve been to my body,’ she added.

‘To those who relate — I hope you can feel me giving you the biggest virtual hug right now. And I hope you’ll join me in showing ourselves the grace and love we truly deserve.❤️’ 

Candace’s confession made her two female co-hosts visibly emotional as well.

And she received plenty of praise in the comments for the remarks. 

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s daughter Lola Sheen wrote, ‘i love this wow ❤️.’ 

Another person wrote, ‘I wish I could go back and hug my younger self in different seasons this hits so hard.’

Someone else chimed in, ‘Ooooh you are going to help so many people with this conversation! Praise GOD!’ 

Last year Candace talked about an ‘awkward’ episode of Full House that focused on her character D.J.’s body image struggles.

‘I’ve whipped my body. I’ve spoken to it so harshly. So mean. And then God allowed my body to speak back,’ she said 

‘And my body said back to me, “Have I not been the body that’s carried you all the days of your life? Am I not your legs that allow you to walk? Why do you hurt me so badly?”‘

Candace previously shared she had lost 20lbs in the past 

The actress, known for her portrayal of D.J. Tanner in the original run of Full House (1987-1995) and later in the sequel series Fuller House, discussed how her personal weight loss journey was incorporated into the storyline of the sitcom during the August 12 episode of Pod Meets World.

‘I was always the chubby-cheeked girl, and a lot of people loved that I was. And I can look back and go, like, “I was just a normal, average girl.” And you meet people and they’re always like, “You’re so much thinner in person.”‘

‘You’re just like, “Is that all people see?”‘ Bure asked. ‘Do they just see my chubby cheeks?’

Bure reflected on the episode in which D.J. restricts her food intake in preparation for an upcoming pool party.

‘Kimmy [Andrea Barber] and I were going to a pool party, and I didn’t want to put a bathing suit on. So, I did a crash diet to try to lose weight in a week so I wouldn’t feel bad about myself in a bathing suit, and then pᴀssed out at the gym.’

Bure shared that the episode did not come as a surprise to her.

‘They actually talked to my mom and dad and they talked to me and said, “Would you feel comfortable if we wrote an episode like this?” And I was like, “Yeah, sure.” But when you’re in it and doing it, it feels a little awkward.’

Bure went on, ‘I had lost, like, 20 lbs. from the end of one season to another. I came in losing 20 lbs., but they thought it was so great and they were like, “Oh, on the opening тιтles, why don’t we have you on an exercise bike, like just to promote that?”‘

‘And looking back, I don’t think that was bad. I mean, I really put a lot of hard work and effort into losing 20 lbs.’

Last year Candace got candid about dealing with depression on her podcast.

The actress teared up while discussing how hard it can be to ask for help.

‘It is such a lonely place too. It’s very difficult to speak out about it,’ she admitted to author Jennie Allen. ‘Even to your most trusted people.’

The mother-of-three added: ‘It’s hard to admit it, at least for me, I feel like because I should be strong enough to overcome that and then it just feels weak.

‘It just feels so weak. And the perception of that. And I’ll also say that there are a lot of people who feel that it’s weak and will verbalize that. So then it’s just immediate shame that you’re like, “Oh, well if I struggle with this then I’m weak person.”‘

She explained, ‘Yet there’s so, so many times when I’m like, “I don’t want to feel this way.”

‘I can try with all of my might to get out of this and I can’t pull myself out of the pit. I can’t pull myself out by myself. But it’s hard to extend the arm and go, “Help me.”‘
