Getting a Physical & Fun- Definitely an OXYMORON

I went to get a physical yesterday. It's been so long since I've had one that I didn't even remember all of the stuff they check. The doctor looked at my blood from my last visit and said that my cholesterol was high. His exact statement was, "Your cholesterol is 134. For a young person it should be under 100. The key to that is a lowfat diet." Ok, now I know that I've hit Pappasito's quite a few times, but on the whole my diet is pretty honorable. I do not eat fast food. I limit my sweets. What more does he want? I'm really sorry that high cholesterol runs in my family. Any suggestions for me?
