Wetsuit Thickness?

Hey Guys and Gals. Let me preface this by saying a few things 1) I have lived in Florida for 30 years, 2) anything (air, water, ice cream, etc.) below about 65 is freezing to me, and 3) I've decided to try a triathlon scheduled for the end of April 2013. With the tri in April and a training plan in hand, I'm ready to start; however training will be full speed ahead right thru the winter. I am going to buy a wetsuit but I'm not sure what thickness to get. I was looking at a 0.5mm full suit or a 2mm shorty suit. I tried on a 2.2 mm shorty and it seemed very restricting. Is that just the nature of wetsuits? D
