Good on you for being honest about it. It's obviously a positive step in the right direction. Yes, I understand where you're coming from, especially when the truth about something is uncomfortable or far from the societal norm or makes oneself look bad etc., then there arises a tendency to want to gloss things over or, yes, 'bend the truth' a little bit - lie. Whatever the case, I think if you continue to hold yourself to the principle of honesty and self honesty as best you can, then over time the lying should phase out - to be replaced by the truth - which has the power to set you free, apparently. Anyway, all the best.
