It is from the book "Perfect Weight America" by Jordan Rubin:

With apologies to King David, I now offer you the Dieter's Psalm, based on Psalm 23:

Stict is my diet. I must not want

It maketh me lie down at night hungry.

It leadeth me past the confectioners.

It trieth my willpower.

It leadeth me in the paths of alteration for my figure's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry department,

I will buy no sweet rolls, for they are fattening.

The cakes and the pies, they tempt me.

Before me is a table set with green beans and lettuce.

I filleth my stomach with liquids.

My day's quota runneth over.

Surely calorie and weight charts will follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in fear of the scales forever.
