but you do that insie the while loop, so at the end of the loop it is
always 1000. So the loop never ends.

Try setting it at the top of the while loop, before entering the for loop.

The while loop only tests the value at the end of the loop block,
it does not detect changes inside the loop. So you need to ensure that
the value at the end of the loop is the one you want to be tested.
