We can aim to create a culture, where kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.
Michelle Obama
When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised or if I didn't exercise and just watched what I ate, I'd maintain. Now I have to do both.
Michelle Obama
Don't let anyone speak for you, and don't rely on others to fight for you.
Michelle Obama
Although the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school, I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would be standing here as the first African-American First Lady.
Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama
Hope and change are hard-fought things.
Michelle Obama
We have to make sure that our kids still feel good about themselves no matter what their weight, no matter how they feel. We need to make sure that our kids know that we love them no matter who they are, what they look like, what they're eating.
Michelle Obama
We've got a responsibility to live up to the legacy of those who came before us by doing all that we can to help those who come after us.

A lot of young people think they're invincible, but the truth is young people are knuckleheads... Now young people can get insurance for as little as $50 a month, less than the cost of gym shoes.
Michelle Obama
If we truly believe that every girl in every corner of the globe is worthy of an education as our own daughters and granddaughters are, then we need to deepen our commitment to these efforts.
Michelle Obama
People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady you're representing the nation. I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection.
Michelle Obama
