Weight Loss and Fake Tumors

[Dessi]

So I’ve been been overweight for a little while and still was when I got the diagnosis of excess brain fluid or “pseudo tumor” (I call it my fake tumor because it mimic tumor symptoms without being one). Well I was expecting and couldn’t expecting go on a weight loss journey when they found it. Now 6 months postpartum, I’ve lost 46 lbs and I’m finally at a BMI of 25. Being only 5’0, 46lbs might as well have been a whole half a person on me. 
I go back to the doctors and it hasn’t helped at all! The one thing they’ve been telling me is my fault and the one thing they said would help didn’t do anything! 

Now I’m just really struggling to keep going and keep motivated because I’m still not where I want to be. I’m much healthier than I was but I know I still need to keep it up. I feel like I’m at a cross roads of either giving up on the progress I’ve made or going to the other extreme and overworking myself past a healthy limit. 
Anyone have tips for burn out? I feel like I can’t even be proud of my progress because the whole point was to help alleviate the pressure in my skull and it hasn’t helped at all.
