The relationship between a person's state of mind and their eating habits is actually more closely-linked than most people realize.
Eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia are commonly associated with psychology, and over-eating can also be included in that category.
I would recommend trying to tackle the reason behind your nervousness, as you'll find that this will have a direct impact on your urge to over-eat.
Having said that, there are also steps you can take as far as diet is concerned.

There are a number of really effective things you can do to control your nervous eating habit. Here are my suggestions:
- Drink a glass of water- Water will take up space in your stomach, space that would otherwise be occupied by food. Every time you start feeling nervous, follow it up with a nice large glass of water.
- Plan ahead and stock up- Snacking on healthier food will obviously help the situation. Why not pre-empt your nervous eating and stock your fridge with carrot, celery sticks, and cucumber? This might not help tackle the original problem, but it will ensure that the repercussions on your health are thwarted.
