Shouldn’t your body just give you the stop signal and make you not overeat? Then why do people get fat at all?

In addition to the other answers, when you want to satisfy your hunger, the calorie value of your food is a big factor. (Satiation doesn’t care about calories)
For instance, you can eat 2 pounds of broccoli and be really full but not take on too much calories, or you can eat 2 pounds of bacon/donuts and consume several thousand calories in one sitting.
Satisfying hunger with the wrong foods (calorie dense) can really spike up weight if you are already meeting your calorie needs.
