Hey there, friends! Let's talk about a real-life hero who's not backing down from the haters. Candace Cameron Bure, the beloved mom of three and star of "Fuller House," recently shared a stunning photo on Instagram. It was a candid shot of her enjoying dinner with her 18-year-old son, Lev Bure. But as you might guess, not everyone on the internet had kind words to say. Instead of letting those negative comments slide, Candace decided to hit back in a way that left everyone impressed.
Here's the deal: A screenshot shared by Cosmopolitan showed one particularly harsh comment. The commenter, who clearly didn't know Lev was her son and not her husband, wrote, "All that exersizing [sic], and you still look like you weigh more than your husband, did you change your diet?" Can you believe that? Now, if I were in Candace's shoes, I might've just scrolled past it. But not her. She had something to say.

How Candace Handled the Haters
At first, Candace fired back with a quick and witty response: "Nice, troll," followed by a smiley face emoji. That alone was gold, but it didn't stop there. As her fans rallied around her, she decided to double down with an even stronger message. "If a 25-inch waist looks big to you… then you’re looking through an altered lens. Be well," she wrote. Talk about owning it! That kind of response is exactly what we need more of on social media.
Fighting the Good Fight Against Body-Shaming
You see, Candace isn't new to this kind of negativity. She's been in the spotlight since she was just seven years old, and over the years, she's faced her fair share of body-shaming. In fact, she's been open about her struggles with bulimia during her younger years. Back in 2016, she even spoke at a panel for the Eating Recovery Center. "I'm honored to be a spokesperson for it because I know how it affects someone firsthand," she told E! News. She emphasized the importance of understanding eating disorders and how they differ from other kinds of addictions.

Learning to Love Yourself
Candace explained during that panel, "We all have to eat food, and it's something that we can't just stop or eliminate from our lives. It's different from an alcohol addiction or drug addiction because those things, we don't have to partake in. But food, we have to eat, so we need to learn how to still be able to eat and make it a part of our lives, to live and be healthy but also deal with the mental illness aspect of it." That's some serious wisdom right there.
In 2017, Candace revealed to People, "I feel the most fit and strong that I’ve ever felt in my life." And it's clear that she's still carrying that positivity into 2018. To all the body-shamers out there: take a page from Candace's book and back off. She's got this.
