If you're not ready the moment things happen, then you're irrelevant, you might as well not go.
What you need to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut gets down close to it was when you were in your 20's. Then you'll find out what your weight should be.
I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.
