For me it is all about planning and environment control, but then I don't have kids so it is easier.
Can you, after the kids go to bed, cook up some snacks for yourself, something you can reach for that will satisfy your craving? I make myself coconut flour pancakes using coconut flour, eggs and baking soda and I keep frozen berries in the freezer. I put the (microwaved warmed) berries on the pancakes. Wonderful treat! You could use a nut flour. They store in the fridge or freezer, so make a big batch.
Another thing that is important for me is environmental control. I know a lot of people who have cut out the sweets and starches for their kids and it seems to do nothing but good for them. If you can get your kids to eating like you great, if not, can you put their starchy stuff away in a special area that you can't see?
Plan out your meals in advance and make sure you don't get caught short without snacks you can safely eat and be sure to give yourself goodies that you enjoy, but are starch free, so you don't feel deprived!
Good luck to you!
