understand this way of thinking but would you really want to lose muscle and keep the same amount of fat just to see a number change??

Someone who hasnt had such a large number to lose probably can't fully relate. It takes lots of time to correct the mental part of your eating and working out habits. Ive been at it for 3 years now and I'm just starting to truly comprehend what it means to live a 'healthly lifestyle'. Everything in balance. I think ive said this to you before, but someone with 100+ pounds to lose has a lot of issues to deal with. The number on the scale and calorie counting is, by and large, the easy issue to deal with. Controlling the nagging 'fat guy' tendencies and thoughts is the hardest. Every single time I eat I want to go back for more, whether im hungry or not. If food is sitting in front of me, I want to eat it, whether im hungry or not. Controlling those impulses is by far the toughest part of truly living a healthy lifestyle for someone who has such a broken relationship with food.

Anyway i got sidetracked. My point was that if he feels like he needs to stop working out for now to keep his eating under control and closing weight, then that is truly the best option
