In some respects, it has to do with endorphins. We often overeat to comfort ourselves during periods of stress, pain, or boredom - the situations that Endorphins are created to ease. Eating is only one of the ways to make them release into the blood. Besides, they can directly control eating: the less endorphins -- the worse overeating (Am. J. Psychiatry 148:1086-1090; 1992)

We know that eating will produce a pleasant sensation so we eat even all we need is to comfort ourselves. Some leading experts advise to ask oneself every time you feel the urge to open the refrigerator: "What is it I really need? A glass of water? A walk? A hug (to say the least)?" Some reveal engaging in even very exotic measures like laying on thebed of nails or holding the breath (to gain some carbon dioxide). The truth is, all these will increase endorphin level while only eating, especially when your body does not need it, will cause extra pounds of fat to collect in your body's stores.
