Reason of overeating:

Stress: You overeat when you feel stressed to prevent yourself from feeling bad. Food becomes an easy way to distract you from uncomfortable feelings temporarily.
Depression: When you feel down, you're more likely to binge on high-carbohydrate foods, like bread or cookies because they increase production of serotonin, a mood-regulating brain chemical.
Socializing: Restaurants and parties tend to offer an overabundance of delicious food, making it more difficult to limit yourself to reasonable portions. Drinking alcohol before a meal compounds is also a problem as alcohol an appetite stimulant.
Boredom: You overeat when you're bored because you're looking for stimulation.

Tips to stop overeating:

How to stop overeating

The best way to avoid overeating during stress is to take 10-minute walk outside doing so will help your body produce endorphins, feel-good brain chemicals that can counter feelings of stress.
When you go to restaurant or a party have a cup of tea or a piece of fruit before you go out so your stomach feels less empty and you won't be as tempted to snacks. If you're going to drink alcohol, have it with your meal, not before. Instead, drink club soda or a glass of water with lemon or lime before eating.
When you are depressed or feeling low reach out to other people instead of eating. Talk to a friend or family member, or write your feelings down in a journal to counter feelings of isolation.
Always eat slowly. You will be surprised to know that it takes 12 or more minutes for food satisfaction signals to reach the brain of a thin person, but 20 or more minutes for an obese person. By eating slowly, this ensures that these important messages have time to reach your brain so you feel satisfied and not stuffed.
While eating concentrate on eating and avoid any kind of distraction. When you do eat while you work this distracts you and most importantly your body will tend not to register the food calories. You should enjoy first few bites of your body because food enjoyment comes from the first few bites. After the first few bites your taste buds start to lose their sensitivity. Nourishing your taste buds by really savoring those first few bites can help you stop eating.
Use a small plate and concentrate on small portion of the meal. It's believed that the brain looks at the plate and decides if the portion is adequate, It takes some time, but the smaller the plate, the smaller the portion.
Keep away the food that has lot of calories for very little volume, such as milk shakes, cheese, and chocolate. The higher the fiber, protein, and/or water content of a food or meal, the more likely it is to be satisfying in your stomach without going overboard on calories.

Hope these tips will work for you and help you to stop overeating. Good Luck!
