I HAVE done it. I know this sounds lame, but I started exercising as a child. Since English isn't my first language, but my mom was English and we weren't living in an English-speaking country because of my father, my mother always bought me English books... mostly comic books. So from a young age, I wanted to be able to look just like Superman or be able to lift tons of weight like Captain America or stuff like that.
Once I got older and learned that being healthy like that also came with benefits, it didn't seem logical to stay that way. I just have this incurable drive to be fit and healthy and the best I can be.
Now, I have three friends who are incredibly big and eat all the time... all kinds of things, whatever they want. I hang out with them almost all the time and we take tons of pictures so they always see pictures from my bulking and cutting phases.
This way, by showing them that it IS possible, that eating properly and less combined with exercising DOES help, CAN make them thin, and WILL if they wait long enough, I convinced each of them to start dieting a bit more and exercise. I tell them to exercise with me. My workouts take maybe 2 hours now, but hey, at least they are going to the gym now. And there ARE results. No, none of them look like me or Arnold Schwarzenegger, but they are getting stronger, getting more endurance, and losing pounds slowly... and they notice, too. And as long as I continually have the drive, they'll eventually develop it once they realize it fully, too.
