Is 40 the new 30?

Today is my 40th birthday. A friend and co-worker of mine died last week of a heart attack at the age of 32. I sit here and I think, that could be me. I hear a lot of people that lose weight say they had some ephiphany that made them say "this is it". Was losing my friend that ephiphany? Maybe. Do I want to live? Yes. I want to enjoy life. I'm not going to make excuses for my disappearing act or failure when it comes to losing weight. I am just going to move forward, be healthy and try to live a long active life. So is 40 the new 30? It is if I make it.....
