Yeah, I SSed in Greece a few years back. I had a great time, in fact I resented it every time everyone went to eat as it ate into my sunbathing and swimming time because I would have felt rotten not joining them!
I got up at 5 in the morning, walked down a mountain and got a ferry back on one day on my own to get away from the eaters and I had a fabulous day. I lost 8lbs on hols! Unheard of! I kept saying to myself that I could eat grilled chicken and fish and salad if I really wanted to. But I never wanted to. I allowed myself the choice and kept choosing not it.
Oh - but it was a little tougher SSing in Paris. I took my friends into a cheese shop and as my French is pretty good the owner was chatting away to me and offering me bits of every cheese under the sun...I stayed resolute but boy it's hard to stay away from food in Paris!
