While diets are about food and weight, eating disorders become much, much more than that. Food and weight become all-powerful, and people with eating disorders use both in an attempt to better their lives (by gaining a sense of control, numbing painful emotions, earning approval or acceptance, etc.).
Long Island New York is comprised of two counties â Nassau County and Suffolk County, two cities â Long Beach and Glen Cove, numerous local towns, villages, hamlets, postal zones and designated places.
Nassau County is directly east of New York City limits and therefore also within the New York metropolitan area. The county is one of the four counties that occupy Long Island, together with Suffolk County to its immediate east and Queens and Kings counties to the west, which correspond, respectively, to the New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn.
