Si hablas, se te cae lo que tienes en la boca.
Cuando ya tienes alguna cosa ganada o un avance sobre tus metas (un bocado, en sentido figurado), si te pones a hablar, a quejarte o a alardear, puedes perderlo. When you already have "a bite" of something that brings you closer to your goals, you shouldn't talk, complain or boast about it, or you may lose it.

Conozco unos parlanchinos gordos.
Me parece que este dicho se refiere a las ovejas nada más.

@EmpanadaRica: There is the same idea in the old Aesop's fable about the crow, the fox and the cheese.
