I have trouble losing weight because I struggle to control my temptations and cravings. Can you push a fix for that too?

You're not alone. The trick (I think) is to find replacement things to crave

Try cleaning something (like dishes) for 5-15 minutes before you're allowed to reach for a snack. If your cravings are just boredom, then doing something will distract you.
Or you might be pregnant.
Or you might try getting pregnant. I got to stop dieting and start snacking more than ever when I found out I was pregnant. Even one who encouraged my diet before is now indulging every little craving. It's awesome!

Here's my personal tip: give in to every craving. But choose your portions to be about half of what you want. Set out your chips in a bowl, cut your donut in half, etc. This means that one snack actually turns into two. When you're done your half snack, you feel like you want more for maybe 15 minutes, then you're fine. Eventually the half snack is all you want.
I recommend doing this for meals as well. You keep eating because you think you're still hungry, but the body has a processing delay. You're usually full from a slice or two of pizza, not three or four. You're also going to be hungry again in a few hours regardless if you eat a lot, or just a little.

What I do is eat the same stuff but a whole lot less of it. I’ve lost 8 lbs in one month of doing just that.

Yeah, find healthy alternatives that you actually like and eat those instead.
Edit: and the next time you go to eat something you know you shouldn’t just keep your mouth closed.

You can't control your cravings because your blood sugar's going up and down all the time.

Don't eat until you're full. Eat until you're not hungry anymore.
