When ED rears his ugly head...what do you say?

Hey anyone on the way to recovery from an ED!  When ED's thoughts infiltrate your brain and cause you to second-guess what you're doing to recover, how do you encourage yourself?  What do you say?

This may seem weird, but I always sing the song "Work This Out" from High School Musical 2 (and no, I do not like that movie; it's my sister's soundtrack).  The lyrics say, "We've got to work, work, to work this out.  We'll make things right, the sun will shine."  It reminds me that although recovering isn't always fun, it's something you just have to do.  

What are some of the motivational phrases or quotes that you think to yourself when ED-ish thoughts start to creep in?

Bump. :)

Michael Jackson - "Beat it"

hehe

lol its funny but thee's a song that always pops in my head when I have ED thoughts that try to bring me down...its not like I actually planned for it, it just pops right in there!

Its "Josie" from blink 182...but because part of the lyrics say:

"And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down....

I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything, everything's going to be fine"

and since its so upbeat I guess it brightens up my spirit :)

When growing in recovery there's one thing to remember
Not the screen on the scales or the -in on the measure
Not the label in your knickers or "hot body for the beaches!"
Who cares about the calories in apples and in peaches?
Ditch the scale and grab a towel, your friends - let's go swimming
To cinema and local park, and then to get some din in
To have McD's, or posh entrée? Who cares, it's life you're living
Forgetting all the quantities is truly so relieving
When growing in recovery there is one thing to remember
Health has no capacity; health is not a number.

That was a bit on the fly. But Mjustine took my suggestion. ;P

I'm sure there were a lot of motivating songs for me, but I can't really think right now. However, my main thing was to tell myself I didn't want to end up back in the hospital or close to death again and I was strong and could fight this. (perhaps Christina Aguilera's "Fighter," just instead of about a guy I put my ED in there for the most part.)

Oh, and Christina's "Beautiful," always gives me inspiration to tell me I'm just as good and beautiful as everyone else no matter how I look, I don't need to be anorexic to be beautiful I am at any size....there is even a girl in there with an ED.
