Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole.
Michelle Obama
Image
When I'm unhappy with something, people know, because I don't want to hold on to it. I'd rather deal immediately with the stuff that bothers me, so using my network - my girlfriends, my husband, my mom - I talk a lot, I vent.
Michelle Obama
Image
We're our kids' first and best role models. So the first question is, what are you as a mom or a dad doing every day, or every week, to start getting into the good habits?
Michelle Obama
Image
I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard - especially when it's hard.
Michelle Obama
Image
I tell my kids, 'I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.'
Michelle Obama
Image
Every day, the people I meet inspire me... every day, they make me proud... every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.
Michelle Obama
Image
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
Image
My sense is that being a First Lady is a full-time job, but I'll know more when the time comes.
Michelle Obama
Image
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.
Michelle Obama
Image
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
Image
I'm not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business. But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love.
Michelle Obama
Image
For me exercise is more than just physical, it’s therapeutic.
Michelle Obama
Image
And let's be clear: It's not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren't healthy. It's also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.
Michelle Obama
Image
Being healthy isn't about inches, pounds, or how kids look - it's about how they feel and making sure they feel good about themselves. So rather than focusing on appearance, it's important to emphasize to kids that when we eat healthy food and stay active, we feel better, and we can perform better in everything we do, from athletics to academics.
Michelle Obama
Image
Every elected official on this planet should understand - don't play with our children, don't do it.
Michelle Obama
Image
Moving [to the White House], whatever stresses would be on my husband and me, we could handle we are grown-ups. But it wouldn't be until the day that my kids came home and said to me, I like it here, that I'd feel like I could breathe and know that we're all going to be okay here.
Michelle Obama
Image
Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.
Michelle Obama
Image
I joke that I stick with the job because it covers my insurance, but the reality is that my career has always been very important to me.
Michelle Obama
Image
We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
Michelle Obama
Image
We can aim to create a culture, where kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.
