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.
You know, living a relatively normal life?
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.

How would you slow your metabolism down to gain a bit of weight? Any advice?
Munchies:
Hun, you are 18. Your metabolism is at it's peak right now. There's only so much you can do to overcome it. You can try eating more and moving less, but if that doesn't help, you may need to wait a few years for it to naturally slow down.
It is possible to gain weight with a fast metabolism. I've slowly been doing it over the last couple years it just takes a lot of patience and you have to fight for every lbs you gain. You just have to constantly be counting your calories and making sure you're eating enough.
Your metabolism will slow as you age. I'm 20 and I can already tell mine has slowed down some since I was 18 as I've been able to pack on some lbs. So just be patient and you'll see gains eventually.

Try the AMC dine-in theaters. The seats are bigger, more comfortable, and they serve you whatever you want!
Honestly even as someone who hasn't outgrown most seating I prefer to go to theaters like that. Though I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, they have the best Mexican vanilla milkshake

Ok, I understand. I'm 22 years old, I've never been fat, I've always been normal weight, however I've always loved food. Do you think I can reach 400-500lb?
I mean you definitely can, I'm 20 and my starting point 4 years ago was 125 lbs. Mind you I've only recently been actively gaining, I was more or less passively gaining before. So if youre actively trying you should gain faster than I have but still it's going to take a few years.
Just try to eat a minimum of 3,000 calories a day, more if you can manage and you should be set. Also read dieting tips on here, I've learned a lot from other just reading their stories and learning from their experiences.

I don’t understand the goal of becoming obese; obesity exists on a scale that’s almost constantly moving and it’s based on bmi literaly your weight divided by height. I don’t constantly think about how obese i am pretty much I only think about obesity when im at the doctors office. Now me thinking about how fat I am is another story I can’t put pants and socks on in the morning without thinking about how fat I’ve gotten/getting, I’m almost always hungry
TheUltimate323:
Yes, well, I use the term obesity as a point of weight that goes beyond being overweight. Basically, that's all. Anyway, do you like being fat? Do you enjoy it?
GabDebu:
Hmm depends on what you want from the gain. For some the fact of being bigger and softer is the goal.
In my case i like to do cosplay, being very round versions of characters. Like showing off and just thinking about new designs and being able to eat a ton. Which is a plus cause i like to cook.
Its all up to you and how big do you want to get.

Honestly, there are certain things that I would like to experiment:
That my butt will occupy more than one seat, due to its fat size.
That I have to buy clothes in stores for fat people due to my size.
(I have to say that I am from Spain, here is not as the USA, so that there are many less obese people here, so it is not necessary to be very obese to highlight)
I measure 5.5 (166cm) and weight only 141lb (64kg). What weight do you think I should reach as minimal to experience this?
At 140 lbs you're barely dipping your toes in, I'm 240 and I hardly have much of a belly. To occupy enough space to take up two seats you'd probably have to be 400-500+ . It'll take quite a while to reach that weight so don't get your hopes of it being a quick experiment up too much

Strawberry mochi, I can devour those things boxes at a time
Munchies:
Strawberry mochi as a struggle meal? Damn
Where I live, any kind of mochi is a treat because that shit is expensive
SumoSized:
Over here it's like $5 a box so it's not the cheapest snack ever, but sometimes on weekends I'll treat myself too it
Munchies:
Ah, so that's a sweet treat thing, not a struggle meal.
What's your struggle meal?
True, I can never go wrong with beans and rice. Add in some cornbread and you're set

It just feels more comfortable, I had so many body image issues when I was skinny and I hated the feeling of feelings boney. Now that I have a layer of squish I just feel more myself. I'm hoping to gain another 100 lbs and then we'll see where I go from there
Thiccbell:
Exactly this..it resonates with me on a much higher level than I thought.
I always hated my own body, had severe self esteem issues and often hid myself from others. After the quarantine gave me some chub, I realized that this was what I really wanted and I feel so much free and...me. I can't quite explain it. It just feels right.
There's just a certain level of comfort from being bigger it's like a permanent cozy, weighted blanket wrapped around you. I feel so much better in my own skin than I ever have, and each lbs I can only increases that feeling

Mine feel pretty extreme because of just how underweight I was, but I don't want to post them on here because I was a minor at the time. You could practically count every single one of my ribs and that absolutely crushed my body image. I ended up gaining like 50 lbs of muscle during the pandemic but even with that much muscle weight you could still see my ribs. It was only after I started gaining some fat that they got covered up and I felt more comfortable in my own skin. I had a fairly stereotypically attractive body (not quite a full 6-pack but definitely visible abs and good muscle definition) but it just felt wrong. I'd rather have fat and muscle rather than only muscle
