Alicia, I think you definately shouldnt feel insecure about going to the gym. I mean, people are there to get into shape and we all have the same goal. Plus, I think the gym is a good idea because itll motivate you by you seeing some of the people there that are acually in good shape ( BTW, I saw your pic in your profile and youre not in bad shape at all!).
You can eat good amounts of fruits and Veggies and its ok because it's not the processed sugar type of crap.
If youre thinking about getting a gym membership, I can create a workout for you based on the equiptments that they have there. If not...I can create one that you can use just your bodyweight. Let me know and give me a few days.
Tip of the day: If you take in (for example) 1500 calories a day. In order to lose weight....you would need to bun off more than 1500 cal. If you burn the equal amount of calories you take in...your body will not change.
Heres a calorie calculator to help you :
