ENJOY IT WITH WHOLE MILK. Reduced-fat is for wusses. I firmly believe this.

What's funny is that I have almost all of those symptoms, except for the weight gain, so they checked me for hypothyroidism, but found nothing. :( Then we did a bajillion other tests and found nothing, thus the diagnosis of CFIDS. (AKA "We Don't Know What The Hell is Wrong With You But At Least It's Not Lupus Or MS Or Lyme Or Something".)

Normally I like 2% best, and have to be in the mood for the creamier texture of whole milk, but as I am going to the store tomorrow, I AM PUTTING WHOLE MILK ON THE LIST.

Y'know, part of me is so afraid these tests are going to come back and the doctor's going to be all THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, YOU'RE JUST LAZY :D, and no matter how much I know that's simply not true, I'm just... I've always had this thing where I'm just irrationally afraid of being accused of faking an illness.

...Which miiiight be why I tend to resist going to the doctor unless something is actually WRONG.
