Candace Cameron Bure has been in the public eye since she was a kid, but that doesn't mean she's warmed up to people judging her body - nor is she OK with it. "I do feel confident and secure in who I am, however, I feel like there's still always a pressure [to look a certain way]," Cameron Bure, 49, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, November 4, while promoting her new book, Rise and Renew: A 30-Day Devotional to Heal a Hurting Heart, Overcome Emotional Pain, and Grow in Your Faith - Interactive Devotions with Bible ... and Creative Exercises (One Step Closer), in which she talks about aging gracefully, her connection with God and daily resets. Cameron Bure explained that it's not always easy to rise above the pressures of Hollywood, but said, "I do feel great." She noted, "If my husband loves me and tells me I look great, then that's all that matters." The Full House alum appreciates the connection she has with fans, but told Us criticism over her body is something she tries to avoid. Earlier this year, Cameron Bure received backlash from some over a one-piece bathing suit photo she shared via social media. Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images She ultimately took down the picture, which she told her Instagram followers in September was part of her "soaking up the end of summer" and "having fun." Looking back, Cameron Bure told Us it was easier to shut down any negative comments by deleting the image in question. "People are always going to have an opinion, and sometimes you forget that for a moment because you're like, 'Hey, happy moment. Gonna share something,'" Cameron Bure recalled. "And then you're like, 'Oh, why did I share it?'" Candace Cameron Bure's Candid Comments About Body Image and Confidence The actress explained that in the case of the bathing suit photo, she "felt like it was easier to take it down, because I don't need to have controversy over it." Cameron Bure confessed, "I don't need for people to pick apart my body. I'm like, 'That's fine, you couldn't have an opinion. I'm just going to take it away so you don't get to say what you want about that part of my life.' And that's fine." Despite some internet trolls dissecting her appearance, Cameron Bure said she still feels "like I'm 30" as her 50th birthday draws closer. (Cameron Bure will celebrate the age milestone in April 2026.) "I think I'm always gonna feel like I'm 30. I think of [my real] number, and I'm like, 'I'm that old?'" she said with a laugh. "I guess I'm making myself excited about turning 50. I don't know if I'm really excited about it, but I'm kind of, like, willing myself to be excited."

"I am getting in the best shape of my life," she told Us. "Because I want to enter this next decade of my life being strong and healthy, because I know I got a lot of stuff coming my way, and I want to be able to handle it as best as I can." In addition to her fitness goals, Cameron Bure teased that there is one thing she'd like to leave behind in her 40s. "I'd like to leave the cystic acne that I still get. I don't want to take that into my 50s," she chuckled. "I'm like, 'Why am I still getting this in my 40s?' I have a feeling it's only going to get worse." Candace Cameron Bure at a NY book signing. Courtesy of SJ Foti Outside of working on her physical well-being, Cameron Bure has continued to nurture her spiritual self and her relationship with God. Writing her new book, Rise and Renew, was one way that Cameron Bure decided to share her religious beliefs with the world while keeping track of her own journey. "It's a 30 day devotional, and it's [meant for readers] to spend, really five minutes, 10 minutes in the word," Cameron Bure told Us of the book, which comes out this month. "It's filled with scripture from the Bible, and I write some personal reflections." The Timeless Tidings of Joy actress said that although she might not do a devotional "every day" the practice is "part of my life."

"Because I can make all the plans that I want to make, but I really want God to guide my path, and I do that by resetting every morning." That practice is what she hopes her readers are able to incorporate into their lives as well. "Getting up every single morning, renewing our mind with who God says we are, and being reminded of who he is, can just change our day and make a huge difference," Cameron Bure added. "So it's all based on taking all of our thoughts captive and really giving them to God and and just going on with our day being reminded of those reflections."
