I grew up with the same problem: school was always too easy, and I was there because I had to be, I didn't have to put any effort into anything, and now that I'm an adult I've found that I never developed a sense of self-motivation.
The advice I can give you is that if you want to start to change things about your life, start by getting in shape. I, too, used to be about 75lbs overweight, and then I cut soda out of my diet and started jogging. I still have a loooooong way to go before I'm "in shape", but just looking and feeling different has had a huge impact on my life. Not only will you have more energy and self-confidence (which is half the battle) but you'll be able to look at yourself at every second of every day and realize that you really have the power to accomplish things. The other areas you'd like to improve in will fall into place from there.
Plus, if it really is chemical depression, as Maleficient suggested, then running will help physiologically too (I have experience with THAT same problem, too)
