More quotes by Michelle Obama
As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.
Michelle Obama
Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt.
Michelle Obama
We can aim to create a culture, where kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.
Michelle Obama
You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still 'mom-in-chief.' My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.
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
Exercise is really important to me - it's therapeutic. So if I'm ever feeling tense or stressed or like I'm about to have a meltdown, I'll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama
Education is the single-most important civil rights issue that we face today.
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
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
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
First and foremost, I wear what I love. That's what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.
Michelle Obama
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
We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.
Michelle Obama
You work hard for what you want in life.
Michelle Obama
It's always positive to hear how many people are willing to step up - whether it is the employment community, mental health community, or medical community.
Michelle Obama
Over the years I've become more confident in people's ability to recognize a good thing.
Michelle Obama
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
Michelle Obama
I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.
Michelle Obama
I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook. It's not something they need. It's not necessary.
