Does being overweight make it easier to bite inside of your mouth accidentally when eating? i'm thinking the cheeks would be fatter & more in-the-way.

No, but......: No it doesn't, but if you're overweight you may be eating faster which can lead to biting the inside of your mouth. It can also signify poor occlusion that your dentist could evaluate at your next routine visit, .
