Weight Loss Story

A little while back, say nine years ago, I weighed 400 pounds. At 6’1″ it looked like I was a little plump in all the right places. This was only the look. Inside my heart and knees were weak, under the pressure and acid seemed to enjoy flowing up from my stomach each time I tried to, lay my head to sleep.
Something had to change. In a two years time I lost 180 pounds. Add to that the nearly 20 pounds my skilled surgeon removed from my chest, and you have the new me.
I the next few weeks I will perform my rendition of the two year transformation from 400lbs to 220/200lbs.
Stay tuned for dates & locations.

Seattle Art Walk Oct First Thur response.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your interest in Liz Ltd. I am currently selling my handmade jewelry online at www.lizltd.etsy.com and locally at Cashmere’s Fashion Earrings -N- Thangz located at 707 23^rd Ave, Seattle, Wa and is open from 8:00AM to 9:00PM. 206-730-9497.

I started Liz Ltd in 1997 as a way to encourage myself and others in ways of self discovery, growth and health. In 1997 I weighed 400lbs, suffered with depression and had few people around me to love and support me with a newborn son. It was then that I dedicated to setting goals for the health of my mind, body and spirit. To do this I needed a system that allowed me to enjoy rewards of meeting my goals without involving food. Some indulgences I allowed myself were, home facials, fresh nail color, naps, scented baths by candle light and handmade jewelry.

One bead at a time I made each piece of jewelry with each goal met. By the end of the week or month I had a new beautiful necklace or bracelet that I wore on a special date with myself. I had a tangible way to see and remind myself I was making a difference in my life and the lives of my friends and family. This process helped me lose 180lbs over two years.

The jewelry I make now is still made one bead, or recycled item at a time as I meet daily and weekly goals. Now you can enjoy the fruit of my labor and hopefully be encouraged as you live your life.

Peace and love,

Liz Davis
Speaker, Jewelry Designer

My Love Story

Liz,

I’m sorry I neglected to trust your love for me. You were there for years when I needed a hug allowing my tears to flow free. Your wisdom taught me that ignoring personal attacks assured victory over my enemy’s abuse, neglect and nasty tongue. Your cheer, following my long overdue stance of self defense, confirmed I finally won. God has sent to me a few carriers of his message that I deserve to be loved unconditionally. And you give it to me so freely. It’s a paradox, for I am you and you are me; now and forever, my number one priority.
I will always love you,
Liz

New taste for 2009

Seafood is at the top of my list for attention grabbers this year. I’ve enjoyed preparing it, dreaming about it and yes eating it. But like many things in my life I don’t know how much I like it until I explore what it has to offer in depth. Shell fish, freshwater, saltwater, wild or farm raised. And all the different ways to prepare the succulent choices. Mmmmm…

I’m happy to say my relationships are just as enjoyable. Some are coming out of their shells others are fresh and new, one is a little salty and overwhelming, still others take me to my wild side and some need my close attention.

Relationships have more depth for me now that I’m 40 and taking my life’s experience with a value I thought was present. The last three years have awakened me to shallow relationships that fell apart when I really needed my friends and family.

Now I’m enjoying deep water fish and the depth of trusting, loving and fulfilling relationships.
