Going to the gym and working out will affect every other part of your life as well as building confidence. By being consistent, your body will slowly be molded like clay to the best it can be. But the key thing is consistency in the gym.
This video is about food, so I'll talk about that now. The key takeaway from the video is to download MyFitnessPal and start tracking what you eat now and see if it will work to reach your goals. If you enter in your statistics in MyFitnessPal and track honestly what you eat for a day, check if that will work by scrolling down and looking at nutrition information at the bottom. If you don't reach your protein goal (you probably won't) don't panic because I am here.

So, I'm going to guess that you didn't make protein count so here is my solution:

Breakfast
Eggs or Oikos yogurt. (6 eggs for breakfast is almost the same amount of protein as 1 chicken breast.)
Toast or a bagel for carbs.
Lunch:
Chicken, pot pie, 4 burritos, or chicken nuggets.
Pair this with a protein bar or protein shake.
Dinner:
Try to get some meat to finish that out, if not possibly take some whey protein powder to finish out that protein goal. Again same types of food as lunch. Protein bar or protein shake to finish out that protein counter if you need it.

I'd say don't hate it till you try it; I would suggest tweaking the food count to fit your needs, but this usually brings me to success. If you're trying to cut, I'd suggest walking 10,000 steps a day which sounds hard but really isn't if you walk outside. MyFitnessPal has goals if you look in settings to account for this, you can put it on lose pounds or gain pounds. MyFitnessPal will adjust the nutrition information for your benefit if you put in what you want to do. If you are bulking just go to the gym and get protein in.
