My name is Lachlan, and I am hoping to make some new friends on My Fitness Pal as I think I will succeed if I see motivational things from motivational people.

I am 23 years old, and identify as gay, but would really love to connect with anyone who may be able to offer some motivation, or think that I may be able to offer them some motivation :)

I have included a pretty basic thingo I found in a lot of other posts below so people can get a feel of who I am, and I think it would be cool if others did it as well :)

1. Where were you born?
Bathurst, New South Wales AUSTRALIA

2. Where do you live at the moment?
Cairns, Queensland AUSTRALIA

3. Where else have you lived?
Babinda, Queensland AUSTRALIA

4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
I am currently a personal assistant for a CEO of a disability organisation. My dream job would be something that allows me to spend some time on the beach in the sunshine doing something I love, maybe digital editing or PR related work.

5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
-Love Kpop music - was lucky enough to make it to a concert in Sydney with 10 Kpop artists and groups performing, and it was the most amazing night of my life!
-Although I do not let it define me, I have a diagnosis of Aspergers, which gives me an interesting view on life that most people struggle to understand, which does limit my circle of friends.
-I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia on and off for years. I am hoping using My Fitness Pal will help me manage that.
-As part of my Aspergers I am highly anxious and am medicated for anxiety, which has caused havoc with my weight and motivation, but I am once again hoping My Fitness Pal helps with that and that I can make some great networks on here to keep me on top of it all :)
-My favourite colours are yellow and orange, I love sushi, giraffes makes me happy and I play the ukulele (but not very well haha)

Well that's me in a nutshell - I look forward to making contact and hopefully some new friends :)

Cheers!

    Hi Lachlan,

    1. Where were you born?
    Melbourne Australia

    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    Cairns, AUSTRALIA

    3. Where else have you lived?
    Darwin, Perth, Alice Springs

    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
    I currently travel around the country with my boyfriend, making a website called Our Naked Australia. As we travel, we do have to work so at the moment, I'm a sandwich artist/data entry clerk. My dream occupation is to be a nutritionist, which I will achieve once I finish my Degree in Nutritional Medicine.

    5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
    - I love the human body. FItness, nutrition, biomechanics, biochemistry. People need to pay more attention to the human body and appreciate it's awesomeness.
    - I love cats, particularly my cat Ali, but all cats are pretty good. Dogs... not so much. But that doesn't mean I hate them.
    - I study/play/learn Krav Maga. It's a very effective fighting style that was developed after WW2.
    - I love watching films, the latest being a NZ flick called Housebound. Really kooky.
    - Sometimes, I think I'm socially spastic, but that could be a confidence issue.
