Chelsea Clinton Gives Mom Hillary Clinton 'a Lot of Credit' for Instilling a Positive Body Image
People ^ | 4/1/2022 | Julie Mazziotta

Chelsea Clinton has always appreciated her body and cared for her health — and that positive thinking is something she credits to mom Hillary Clinton.

The former First Daughter, 42, talked about her body image during an appearance on The View Friday after the hosts brought up Jenna Bush Hager's recent quotes about appreciating that her mom, former First Lady Laura Bush, never discussed weight.

Chelsea said that weight was a topic in the Clinton household, but it was never directed towards her.

"My mom always had a really strong emphasis on health. So I wasn't allowed to eat sugar cereal, except on the weekends, and my parents made sure I really understood what a vegetable was. And I do remember my mom going on Weight Watchers when I was a kid, and yet even though it was called Weight Watchers, she always talked about it as being good for her health," the global health advocate said. (snip)

"I think that did help protect me when I was 12, 13, and my dad was running for office and there were all sorts of largely older white men commenting on my looks, on my weight, on my appearance," she said. "I was like, 'Well that's about them, that's not about me.' "

Chelsea said that both Hillary and Bill instilled a strong sense of self in her that helped during that time.

"I give my mom — and my dad, but mainly my mom — a lot of credit for the sense of self that I had and the focus on health and how I felt about myself and not what other people were saying to me, or whatever messages that were coming to me from either other people or Cosmo."

Ahh…Hillary’s lovely legs!

The annoying thing about this woman is she is always sold to us as something she is not. If they sold her as the Machiavellian character she has proved herself to be, we would not like her any more, but we would at least appreciate the honesty.

That was “momma” Rodham the governor’s wife who changed her name for the comeback kid Bill after Frank White defeated him.
