I started drinking diet ginger ale about a month ago.   I just realized that I have been craving carbs alot - cookies, crackers, pretzels, tortilla chips.   And I've been having a hard time resisting them.   ACK - I feel so bloated and fat right now.  I was below 140 in early January.  I'm afraid to weigh myself.  Guessing I weigh about 145 based on how my jeans fit me!  Bluh.

Anyway, I am giving up the diet soda.  I will report back how it goes.
