The Sassy Pear started in 2007 when I realized I was leaving comments that were way too long on other folk’s blogs. I had no idea that I had anything worthwhile to say, but six years later, I’m still blogging.
This is primarily a weight loss blog, but I’ll be honest, I’m not so great at the weight loss part. I keep fighting though because I believe the only way you fail is if you quit trying.
I’m a 40-something, married with kids, full time employee, part time writer/entrepreneur and there’s a part of me that will always be stuck in the 80s. I love coffee, hot tea, good dark chocolate and reading – sometimes all at the same time. I’m not a fan of working out, but I am a fan of living a long healthy life, so I do what I can. Oh, and I’m pear-shaped (hence the title of my blog). I’m pretty much an open book on this blog – I believe in being as honest about my struggles and successes as much as possible – but if there’s something you would like to know about me, feel free to email me at jillith71@yahoo.com.

I was amazed when I googled my own name and this website came up. I am laughing quite hard at your description of yourself. I am 33, and also a pear in the process of losing said fruit shape. Just thought you’d like to know there’s someone else out there with the same name and disposition…

Oh, thank God you’re not another 26 year old who gained 20 pounds in college and lost it running marathons! It’s refreshing to see another woman who is working hard to maintain a healthy, active, busy, messy life. I am absolutely sympathetic to the fact that the long haul is….well, a long haul. Don’t give up. I love your writing and there’s a whole world of us out there who are keeping up the good fight too.
