Full House Star’s Bulimia Battle
I just saw a short video clip about Candace Cameron Bure, who played DJ Tanner on the popular 90’s TV show Full House. In the clip, it talks about Candace Cameron Bure’s battle with Bulimia. What I found interesting was that Candace didn’t become bulimic to lose weight, it was due to emotional issues she was facing. She didn’t become bulimic until right after the Full House show ended, which she then moved to Canada with her new husband. Perhaps all the changes were too much stress for the young actress? Right now, Candace is at a healthy weight. She credits her much healthier figure to eating all foods in moderation and exercising regularly.

By doing this, it has been a huge way...
