Overeating, as the name implies, is about eating too much. It’s a common problem the majority of us faces, and it’s a major disaster to our diet, especially when you’re in front of a buffet table with lots of guilt foods such as chocolate cake, fries, pizza, alcohol and more. It’s the reason your body goes into a food coma, which is the sleepiness you feel right after you overindulge.

Hunger is one reason why we overeat, especially if it’s the afternoon and you haven’t eaten a thing. Then again, it’s just one. It’s also possible to eat way above your limit when you’re all stressed out, or just plainly bored.

Adam Campbell writes about what Men’s Health nutrition adviser Michael Roussell has to say about the most common culprits behind your binges:

The 6 Sinister Reasons You Overeat

Let’s get the obvious reason you overeat out of the way: Food tastes really good. And some of it tastes really, really good. The truth, though, is that everyone likes food, yet some people struggle to find their stopping point more than others. Read more…

The “what the hell” attitude is a funny thing, because that’s what we often hear (and say). I mean, come on! We think that way sometimes. It’s like, life is short anyway, so why keep yourself from happiness? So, more pizza?

But hey, there will come a time when you will literally think what the hell, when you can’t fit in your favorite jeans anymore.

Furthermore, here are the unnoticeable things that makes you eat a lot, as listed by registered dietitian Cynthia Sass on Health:

4 Sneaky Things That Can Make You Overeat

Overeating is tricky. First, you may not even realize you’re doing it. Second, you may not know why you’re eating too much, because some triggers are downright counterintuitive. Here are four sneaky reasons you may be taking in too many surplus calories, and what you can do to stop it. Read more…

So if overeating is unavoidable at times, what can we do about it? Registered dietitian Heidi Reichenberger Mcindoo shares some tips on Prevention:

6 Ways To Stop Overeating

Humans have an instinctual (even good) fear of hunger. Take the book Into the Wild—when the main character can’t find food, his hunger drives him to a screaming, shake-his-fist-at-the-heavens rage, a stark example of the primal nature of our need for nourishment. Today, most of us know where our next meal is coming from, yet our reaction to hunger has not evolved with our convenience-centered world. Read more…

Overeating may be controllable, but it’s unavoidable. Even if you’re the most disciplined person in the world, there will always come a time when you just want to surrender yourself to it. What you do after that is what will matter most.

For instance, if you overeat, feel guilty about it, and do it again – well, this is a dead end to your weight loss goals. On the other hand, if you do something about it, like to give more time to work out, or detox yourself, then that’s a good thing. Again, it’s always in your hands.

You can use it as a reward but don’t make it a habit. Just watch out for the most common culprits behind your binges, and then know when to stop!
