Biting off more than you can chew basically means trying to take on more of something than you can actually handle - or in other words, starting a task that ended up being much bigger and more difficult than you knew, also known as being "in too deep".
For example, If I had decided to write an essay about something, and later discovered that it was either much harder to do or that the topic was way more complex than I had the energy to deal with, I could say that I bit off more than I could chew.
