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 located immediately east of New York City. The county, together with Suffolk County to its immediate east, are generally referred to as Long Island. Two cities, three towns, 64 incorporated villages, and more than 60 unincorporated hamlets are located within the county. Nassau County is the wealthiest county in New York. In 1947, William Levitt built his first planned community in Nassau County, in the Island Trees section (later renamed Levittown). While in the 1930s, Robert Moses had engineered curving parkways and parks such as Jones Beach State Park and Bethpage State Park for the enjoyment of city-dwellers.
