I used to be the same when I first started, I used to be very body conscious as well, especially with all the macho pricks in the 'bodybuilder' section doing their shit looking down at everyone else. But after a while of going you learn to just ignore everyone and do your own thing. The other guys are right, sticking in an ipod and zoning out is pretty fucking awesome for that. Honestly, joining the gym was the best thing I've done in a loooong time. In fact sometimes going to the gym is one of the ways you get to zone out and spend 'me time'. I just sit on the bike for 20 mins listening to tunes and boom, 200 calories gone, that's like, nearly enough for the chocolate bar I ate 5 minutes before going the gym
