You have sevaral goals in mind and that may be a sticking point. Setting goals to far out of reach is a recipe for failure. Start with one goal, reach it and move on. In your case your first goal might be to start eating right, this will be the stepping stone to your next goal(exercise) Getting up to workout sucks especially if you have no energy, eating right will help change that. Starting tomorrow set your alarm clock to get up 20 min earlier than you do now. During that extra 20 min make yourself a healthy breakfast, while you are eating it think ahead and plan your next meals(healthy ones). After a week you will be used to getting up earlier, have a little more energy, if you have been eating right, and from there add in some exercise, even a 10 min wal and then after a few days make it a 15 min walk little by little your body will adapt and continue this routine and your on your way. It won't be easy but stick to it and it will come.

Yeah, I think part of my problem is always trying to start everything all at once, which makes it easier to fall off quickly. I was trying to go from waking up at 7am to 5am overnight, which has been a struggle. I will try doing the 20 minute earlier and hopefully it will make it easier to adjust to a new routine.
