She further added how mean she had been to herself every time she criticized her appearance as she used to say to herself,

‘What are you doing? Why do you look this way? Why are you fat? Why can’t you be like everybody?.

According to the 49-year-old actress, the "random" dream that she had was inspired by a story in the Bible regarding a man named Balaam beating his donkey despite the mule serving him tirelessly. The actress likened Balaam's treatment of the donkey to how she has treated her own body.

Recalling the dream, Candace Cameron Bure continued:

"And then God allowed my body to speak back… 'Have I not been the body that has 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?'"

She also added how her body seemed to question her for treating it "so badly."

'Why do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly, why do you treat me this way", she said.

Reflecting on this experience, Bure remarked that this was the "amazing revelation," and "enlightening" experience that made her "so grateful" for her body. The dream allowed her to see her body as a "beautiful amazing thing that God gave" her, changing her perspective on her body image.
