For 25 days, you will be old, then, well, I'm already pretty broke down..
Stop worrying about family history. Modern medicine changes all of that.
Take care of yourself and spend about an hour a day doing physical maintenance. (Workout) Take vitamins and supplements. Do all the things you already know are good for you. When we are young we bounce back pretty good, but now we need to do it right to be able to enjoy life. Hell, we've earned!
Also, take a close look at these two products. They aren't gimmicks and I can attest to the results of Basis. I've been taking it for over three years and the results are so obvious that both of my daughters and my wife are now taking it and I didn't talk them into it. The Matter is new, but by the same company and is for brain function, whereas Basis is for you body.

Do all this and then just go play. Do what you love for the next 20 or 30 years or more.

CS, I think everyone evaluates where they've been
and where they're going at some point in their life.
50th Birthday sounds like as good a spot as any.
You can reserve the right to reevaluate later it's
not a one time thing. Enjoy each day best as you can,
none of us know when life will end just that it will.
My 50th was spent in hospital getting 1st quad bypass
plus aortic valve replacement. Didn't quite go like the
brochure said. Wasn't concerned with evaluating my
future until I was sure there would be one. Just turned
68 so guess that's 18 years extra due to the marvels of
modern medicine.
68 feels older than 67 did, not sure why yet. Nice to have
70 degree weather in February I know that much.
Guessing that Ga Pwr and GNG hate it though.

My daddy use to say “ the older I get the colder I get”...damn do I understand that now. I’m 68, been retired for a couple years now and busier than I think I’ve ever been. Got a wonderful wife of 33 yrs and loving every day that I wake up.
I don't think you are whining. Reflection can be a great thing especially when it forces you to better yourself. We all know that time is unpredictable. You have taken a look at your life and cherished the best gift of all, life itself. You have made great health decisions to lose 25lbs which is very hard to do and I admire your determination to live life the FULLEST.
I am shy of 30 but often times I think of the time allotted to me and it does make me think deep, sometimes a good thing, often times not. Just remember to take advantage of the time you have around loved ones. That way at the end of the night you have no regrets in life, you took the time to live and not just exist.
I’m 32, thin, workout, and worry about it all the time. 3 deployments before you're 28 is a wake up call that you’re not invincible. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I died. You’re not alone. As corny as it sounds, Try living life to the fullest.
Health scares make you "wake up" and re-evaluate yourself more than age. I never thought about my age much. I'm only 55 but have 8 stents, a resectioned G.I. tract and type II diabetes, LOL. I think I might have enjoyed myself, whisky, tobacco and the womens too much as a younger fellow. Should have taken better care of my physical plant.
About 10 years ago I decided to make a real change and enjoy my time more. A heart attack in 2006 was my wake up call. I was working for a Fortune 500 company in Chicago, had lived and worked in Cincinnati then San Francisco before that with them, but the stress was killing me. I'd have to pull over on my morning drive (only about 3 miles) to the office on North Clinton and puke at least once. Just the thought of going into the office made me ill. That's no way to live. I decided to move home to Middle Georgia. Tech changes make it no longer necessary to be tied to an office so that was no worry.
I don't have a lot of advice to give folks but I myself have learned that it's important to:
Be part of something. Work for others' benefit. Volunteer.
Watch and emulate Godly men. (not preachy loudmouths or evangelicals) Men that love their families and take care of them and others, aren't overly profane (Guilty) and aren't given to vice. Have them as your friends if you can and associate with them.
Enjoy yourself and spend time doing something you love to do.
Don't have harsh words with people you love if you can avoid it. You never know when that might be the last thing you say to them and there's no "do overs." It'll leave a pain that won't heal, no matter how much time passes.
It's good to stop and look at yourself and your life from time to time, I certainly don't think of it as whining. We have enough whining about nonsense here to go around.
