When I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

I am so tired of fear. And I don't want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

People have notions of what a wife's role should be in this process, and it's been a traditional one of blind adoration. My model is a little different - I think most real marriages are.

You can be a good mom and still work out, get your rest, have a career - or not. My mother encouraged me to find that balance.

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.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

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.
