The Daily Telegraph reports, the 45-year-old tells Prevention magazine in its November issue: "I try to have no absolute no's. "I love French fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that's okay. I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love.
"There are some great bakers [in the White House kitchen].
"If you like pie, it will be there always -- at every meal. So for me, it's about setting up new boundaries. I had some challenges with that, but I'm balancing out."
And when it comes to those famously buff arms, the US First Lady says: "I enjoy arm exercises because you can see what it's hitting.
"I've had more time [to work out] as my kids have gotten older. There was a period, actually right before the campaign started up, that I was really in tip-top shape. I was really there. And then my husband ran for president.
"I also don't want my girls to be obsessed about food.
"We don't have a ''no junk food'' rule -- I just want them to think about their choices. When my older daughter asks, ''Can I have pie?' I'll say, ''Did you have it yesterday? Well, what do you think?' And she'll come to the conclusion that, 'You know, you're right, I shouldn''t eat pie every night."
