Hi Stacy,
Welcome to the low carb way of life. Since you have three daughters I think teaching them to stay away from the sugar and flours would be just a great thing to give to your daughters. You have already gotten the best advice, buying the Atkins book, starting a journal and let me add get the high carb foods out of your house. I'm a firm believer in out of sight out of mind. For the sugar cravings you will no doubt have L-glutimine 3 times a day 500-1000 mg before meals, great help. Ask questions and go to other journals. This is the best place for help. Good luck and keep focused.
