Become morbidly obese? live a normal life?

I'm 22, and I'm on my way to gaining weight. I only weigh 66kg now, but my goal is to reach 82kg, which would certify me as obese. I'm 165cm tall. My goal would be to weigh between 109 and 120kg, which would make me morbidly obese.

My question is, can you live a relatively normal life at that weight? Obviously there will be some mobility limitations, not fitting into some seats, having to buy large sizes, but that turns me on.

There is guarantee that you can stop gaining. I know of one average-sized woman who planned to gain 50 pounds and stop. She's now around 600 pounds.

Honestly 109 kg isn't much, that's around where I am now and it doesn't really impair my mobility as much as you seem to think it will. I mean sure my endurance has been reduced from what it was 100 lbs ago and bending down requires a bit more energy than it used to but it's negligible. And I only rarely encounter seats that are too small for me (mostly old furniture from 100 years ago at my grandparents house). As for clothes I'm between a large and XXL depending on the brand so finding clothes isn't that difficult. Except for jeans but that's only because I have muscular legs so finding jeans that fit my thighs can be a pain.
Honestly I think you're working yourself up too much. The changes are slow and I'm afraid at the pace you're posting these forum posts you'll get burnt out from the lack of progress. Just take your time and enjoy the changes as they come. You'll reach your goals and hell if you find you don't like them then you can always lose the weight. There's no such thing irreversibly fat, it does get harder to lose weight as you get bigger sure, but it's not irreversible.

That is the best advice you could get!

Yes, I understand everything you say. I am aware of that. But if I am 165cm tall, what do you think would be the maximum weight I could reach and still have a relatively normal life? I know this is a long term goal, but i want to have a finish goal btw.

Honestly I don't think it's a good idea to a set in stone long term goal. For me I prefer checkpoints where I take time to reevaluate how my gain is going and decide if I want to continue. When I first started gaining 200 lbs seemed like this massive accomplishment since I had gained like 75 lbs in 3 years and I honestly thought I wouldnt go much further than that. Now I'm doing check points every 50 lbs. I'm already decided I want to go past 250 but I'm still going to celebrate once I reach it. But once I get to 300 lbs I'm going to decide if I want to keep gaining to 350 stay at 300, or hell I may decide to drop some weight and hover around somewhere lower.
I just think you set yourself up for failure when you set a goal too far away into the future because you'll forget the little victories along the way and you'll burn yourself out when you don't reach that goal as quickly as you'd like

I’m not saying this to be mean or to be rude or discourage you at all, it’s just an observation but you seem to be posting the same questions over and over again and the answers aren’t really going to change man.
