My Big Love
Pastry chef Macky (Sam Milby) has struggled with his weight for most of his life. It’s not easy being fat, especially when you’re in love with a young socialite columnist named Niña (Kristine Hermosa). He has been her constant secret admirer, surprising Niña every time with cakes and flowers. Everything is going well until Niña meets Macky, who gets the shock of her life when she sees Macky in his 300-pound glory.
Then comes Aira (Toni Gonzaga), the ever-vibrant fitness instructor who knows how to motivate her clients well. Being the breadwinner of the family, she has to double her effort to meet their daily needs. After a number of failed attempts, Macky finally agrees to be her client. In the process of losing weight, the two gained love and affection for each other.
Aira then agrees to accept an offer to work abroad, separating the two. Two years pass and the Macky who was once laughed at is now one of the most sought-after bachelors in town. Unfortunately, his heart is now owned by her ultimate fantasy – Niña. But an untimely encounter with Aira reminds Macky of his happy old days. Macky now has to choose who really is his big love? Is it the woman he dreamt of all his life or is it the woman who loved him unconditionally? (source: www.abs-cbn.com/star-cinema)
Well the movie taught me the Five Steps and you shouldn’t leave the cinema without memorizing Aira’s (Toni Gonzaga) five (5) steps to lose weight:
1. Goal setting.
2. Start today.
3. No shortcuts.
4. Motivate yourself.
5. Be happy
We could also apply these steps with ourselves:
5 Steps to Lose Weight (my big love’s Aira style):
Step 1: Goal Setting
Before you start something, you always need to state your goal or to know what you really want to happen. A Goal is a projected state of affairs that a person plans or intends to achieve. Ask yourself: “What do I want to happen?”
Goal: “to be fit”
Step 2: Start Today
If you really want something to get done, you should start today. Procrastination is our enemy. This also includes finishing what you have started and not just starting it.
“So you wanted to be fit? Then start today! ”
Step 3: No Shortcuts
Follow the steps. Have patience and you will succeed. It is better to earn something when you really worked hard for it. You will feel in the end its worth when you really tried to work hard for it and finish it the right way. There are things that are done slowly for better results.

Step 4: Motivate Yourself
The motivation must be for your own benefit. You shouldn’t have a motivation just to prove something to others. Do this for your own betterment.
“You want to be fit because it’s good for you.”
Step 5: Be happy
YOU MUST NOT DEPRIVE YOURSELF! Think positive…you can do this. An also do not starve yourself because you wanted to be fit. Starving oneself would make you want more. If you want food, then you should eat, but with balance diet. You should be happy.
