Astrocloud, you need to break the problem down into chunks. Nobody ever got anywhere by saying: "I don't like my life, I have to change." You need to figure out 3 or 4 specific things you'd like to change and pick one to begin with. Focus on this one thing, not worrying too much about the other things which bother you.
If you can work on this one thing, you'll probably find a bunch of positive side effects. For example, if one of your problems is that you are always late (I'm not saying it is), then leaving early for things and eventually being on time will start to get you a reputation for being reliable. One of the best examples of positive side effects I can think of is the exercise/diet example. I often find that in the times of year that I exercise regularly, my appetite is also under control. There's a metabolic relationship there. You'd think exercise would get you hungrier, and it does, but your appetite becomes more regular.
Just getting one aspect of your life under control will give you the self-esteem to tackle other areas. Besides, do you really think everyone else has it together completely? I've got a bunch of stuff I need to figure out myself!
