changing eating habits vs just getting exercise

A few years ago I started bicycling; my then-boyfriend-now-husband was into it, and got me cycling as well. I didn't change my eating habits, though -- they changed for me. I found that when I cycled, I didn't crave sugary foods anywhere near as much as I wanted a burrito I lost about 20 pounds in two months.

Of course, I've since put it all back on and more, mostly due to the depression, I think, of watching my husband deal with two strokes and lose the ability to bicycle anymore, or in fact do most of the things he enjoys. I haven't been on a long, hilly ride for more than three years now, and it shows. We're starting at the gym next week, and will hopefully find support in each other's companionship once more, even if pedaling away on a stationary bike is not as fun as climbing Tunnel Road.

But I'm wondering what everyone else's opinions are on this. Do you find that simply starting an exercise plan changes your eating habits for you, or that you need to change your eating habits actively?
