"Celebrate the truth of who you are. I think that's the long and the short of it. In any high visibility role, along with it comes so much stress and so much anxiety. You take on trying to fit into what you think other people think you should be or how they think you should look, that's too much stress, you know? Baby, you're trying to get your husband in the White House. You don't have time to be on no diet. Put on a Spanx and hit it! You don't have time for no foolishness. You have to walk in the truth of 'who you are' and celebrate that thing. There are so many other things that take precedence over that, you know what I mean? If you need to have a couple of sizes of dresses in the closet at the White House, then that's what you do. If today that size eight slips on real good and the next week you need to put on a size 10, then that's what you do."
