Childhood obesity isn't some simple, discrete issue. There's no one cause we can pinpoint. There's no one program we can fund to make it go away. Rather, it's an issue that touches on every aspect of how we live and how we work.

More quotes by Michelle Obama
Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts ... good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with.
Michelle Obama
There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.
Michelle Obama
'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.
Michelle Obama
Oh, I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle Obama
You do not keep American democracy in suspense. Because, look, too many people have marched and protested and fought and died for this democracy.
Michelle Obama
We're gathering a group of women around the administration to serve over a longer period of time as mentors to girls in need. If we can have that kind of impact in one night, just imagine if we were working with girls over the course of a year or two.... We can change lives.
Michelle Obama
My happiness is measured against my kids' happiness - when they're in a good place, I feel really good.
Michelle Obama
And that's my message to voters, this isn't about Barack, it's not about person on that ballot -- its about you. And for most of the people we are talking to [blacks], a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on, regardless of who said what or did this -- that shouldn't even come into the equation.
Michelle Obama
My husband and I make physical activity a priority in our lives, and our daughters love being active as well. And while we each have sports and activities we enjoy, we try to go for hikes or bike rides together whenever we get the chance. We've found that the best way to help our girls be active is to find activities they truly enjoy.
Michelle Obama
All of us are driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do - that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
Michelle Obama
Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, 'Who are you as a person?' Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn't know. And, more important, how does he treat you?
Michelle Obama
My sense is that being a First Lady is a full-time job, but I'll know more when the time comes.
Michelle Obama
When I get up and work out, I'm working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It's just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.
Michelle Obama
Fashion is about so much more than just a pretty pair of pumps or the perfect hemline. For so many people across the country, it is a calling, it is a career, and it's a way they feed their families.
Michelle Obama
I felt, as a lawyer, when I was mentoring and working with kids, that I gained a level of groundedness that I just couldn't get sitting on the forty-seventh floor of a fancy firm. Selfishly, it gives me joy - it makes me feel like my life has a purpose.
Michelle Obama
I never thought I'd be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird. I'm still thrilled. I'm on a high.
Michelle Obama
Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.
Michelle Obama
We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
Michelle Obama
I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be.
Michelle Obama
What I know for sure is that all the sacrifice and challenges we face are worth it if we're creating a better future for our kids. I just think if the adults are always thinking about the world we want to leave for our kids, we're going to make the right choices every single time.
Michelle Obama
