People want to feel hopeful.

We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

You look at all the sporting companies out there. I won't name names, but we know who they are. Good brands and logos and things like that, and they have to start catering to real women. Even in how their sports apparel is designed, and the commercials - you want to look at a commercial and see yourself.

Image
My happiness isn't connected to my husband's or my boss's or my children's behavior. You have control over your own actions, your own well-being.
Michelle Obama
Image
I feel fortunate as a woman to have a husband who loves me and shows me in every way.
Michelle Obama
Image
I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete, utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.
Michelle Obama

Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you

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
Image
I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in my position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.
Michelle Obama

I tell my kids, 'I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.'
Michelle Obama
Image
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
Image
Not everybody is going to run a marathon or do a triathlon. It's not necessary to do that to be in good health.
Michelle Obama
Image
My message to women: Do what makes you feel good, because there'll always be someone who thinks you should do it differently. Whether your choices are hits or misses, at least they're your own.
Michelle Obama
Image
We have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
Michelle Obama
Image
Don't let anyone speak for you, and don't rely on others to fight for you.
Michelle Obama
Image
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
Image
I look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn't think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I'd like to think comes from the years of attention we've put into this.
Michelle Obama
Image
My happiness is measured against my kids' happiness - when they're in a good place, I feel really good.
Michelle Obama
Image
We are living in a time where we just don't have enough time. People are rushed. They're over worked, over scheduled. Not enough resources. ...But the thing that I want people to understand in this campaign is that families can make small manageable changes in their lives that can have pretty significant impacts.
