Overeat would happen if we don't focus what we eat. 

We could be eating while watching TV, reading a book, or when we doing something else while we are eating. 

When we are at the restaurant or party, we see many food with different portions based on we order. After we get done, there are still left-over. We don't want to waste food, but if we still insist to eat, we overeating. Even we pack and take-away, are you sure you can finish the food before they get bad?
