While diets are about food and weight, eating disorders become much, much more than that.

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.
Take it from a real Long Islander. There are two counties on Long Island-Nassau and Suffolk. Nassau is the one that is closest to the city and in fact borders Queens-the easternmost of the 5 boroughs. The Great Gatsby takes place in Nassau County on the North Shore. If you have ever seen a map of Long Island-which is actually a glacial island-there are tiny little peninsulas on the North Shore. The East Egg is where Port Washington/Sands Point is and the West Egg is where Great Neck is.
