Answer

If you get some psychological help, get on a good diet and exercise (according to your doctor's specifications) then you can add most of that 20 years back onto your life. If you don't turn over a new leaf health-wise very soon you could suffer a stroke (lose your speech, use of your arm and leg on one side of the body or have a massive heart attack.) Also blood clots that could go to the brain and may cause you to become a virtual vegetable (meaning you could well lay in a hospital or nursing home for years before death comes. It's your choice!
