We want to teach you how to be healthy and exercise,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cThat completely shared the viewpoint that I had about myself, and the feelings about my body, like, \u2018Oh, I have to make decisions because there\u2019s a fear that I could develop an eating disorder because I\u2019m on TV, because that\u2019s the pressure, and I don\u2019t want to be too fat compared to other actors because then producers might tell me that I need to lose weight.\u2019 My parents never wanted a producer to come up to me and say, \u2018We need your child to lose weight.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cameron Bure has previously been candid about how her disordered eating battle consumed her perception of self during her formative years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI knew I had a problem, but again, it\u2019s like being on a runaway train and you wanna get off but you don\u2019t know how to get off,\u201d she<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-body\/news\/candace-cameron-bure-on-bulimia-battle-i-lost-my-identity-w205266\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> told <i>Entertainment Tonight <\/i>in 2016<\/a>. \u201cI kind of lost my identity in a sense and what happened was I turned to food for comfort when my husband was traveling and when I was alone. I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia. I dealt with it for several years, but it wasn\u2019t about body image and trying to feel good. It was about trying to find comfort or fill voids within myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cameron Bure later had a moment of realization at church, seeking support from both her husband and her pastor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>If you or someone you know struggles with an eating disorder, visit the National Alliance for Eating Disorders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaleatingdisorders.org\/get-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> or call their hotline at +1 (866) 662-1235.
