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.
However, many people in the New York metropolitan area (even those living in Queens and Brooklyn) colloquially use the term Long Island (or The Island) exclusively to refer to the Nassau-Suffolk county area collectively, which is mainly suburban in character.ong Island is home to some of the wealthiest communities in the United States, including The Hamptons, on the East End of the South Shore of Suffolk County; the Gold Coast, in the vicinity of the island's North Shore, along Long Island Sound; and increasingly, the western shoreline of Brooklyn, facing Manhattan.
