"   Sure, honesty is the best policy\u2026most of the time. After all, little white lies happen, and often they&amp;#039;re totally harmless (telling your aunt you love the crazy birthday gift she gave you, saying you had fun at the end of a lame date, etc). But according to a new survey of 3,000 women by Timex, most of us are lying to ourselves and other people on a regular basis about something that isn&amp;#039;t totally harmless: What we eat. And we do it often\u2014the survey found we lie an average of nine times a day about our diet.  According to researchers, the foods most likely to prompt a lie were chocolate, cookies, cake, wine, cheese, and bread. Of course, the occasional fib doesn&amp;#039;t hurt anyone, but regularly deceiving yourself can be bad for your health. Check out the top lies:  1. It was only a small portion 2. I&amp;#039;ll have a big lunch so I won&amp;#039;t eat much after this 3. I only treat myself once in a while 4. I always eat my fruits and vegetables 5. I didn&amp;#039;t touch any of the cookies 6. I had only one glass 7. I didn&amp;#039;t eat the last one 8. I won&amp;#039;t eat again today after this 9. I was too busy to have lunch 10. I might as well polish them off now or they&amp;#039;ll go bad  What do you fib about the most? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
