This is your tita at a family reunion saying "Sige na, kumain ka pa! Ang payat mo!" even if you're already full. It's also you trying to fit into your pre-pandemic jeans. You can also 'magpilit' to wake up for your 8 AM shift after binge-watching a K-drama until 3 AM. It’s the art of 'push mo 'yan, teh!'
Can have a positive connotation (perseverance) or a negative one (being pushy).
