I don't have a healthy diet and would like some help getting my body in a healthy cycle.
I don't cook, but I am willing to do so to change my life.
Where do I start?
Do I need a gym membership right off the bat?
Can anyone help me with a routine and diet to recommend?

You don't need a gym membership.
Healthy eating can be accomplished with minimal kitchen skills.
Buy different kind of fruits, learn to make salads. A fishmonger or butcher can tell you how to cook up the fish and meat you buy.
Start by walking or biking, push-ups, weightless squats, bicep-curls, jump-rope - you can get in amazing shape.
Then with help with a forum or youtube videos- crazy Lee Priest videos, up it to pull-ups then find exercises; weight-lifting or self-defense, yoga, boxing - whatever appeals to you and make a short term commitment to excel and see where that takes you.
Then after a year rethink your strategy.
