I don't feel bad when I shop lift...I think like someone mentioned it makes me feel "smarter" and "powerful". I do not do it often because I too am afraid that I will get caugh t and I do not like the rush of adrenline I feel walking out of the store (nervous anxiety).

I don't really know what to say except I found your post interesting and for myself..I stick to really small things. The other day I did take one clam cake from the "ready made food" bin in a local store and ate it walking thru the store. That way there was no evidence of an empty container or wrapper. I was starving...so I already had in my mind that IF someone had seen me and approached me I would say..I didn't want to buy them unless I "liked" them and I don't like them (which I do like them) so I didn't buy any...
