 Slipping into a new dress size is just the tip of the iceberg for the Australian Idol star!
Casey Donovan 'I'M HAPPIER THAN EVER!

fter coming out the other side of a few tumultuous years, Casey Donovan can finally admit that she’s found true happiness.“I feel amazing,’ the former Australian Idol winner tells Woman’s Day. “I think everyone that’s crossed my path has just said that I’ve been looking happy, healthy and radiant. I’m certainly feeling it.”

The 34-year-old songstress, who is more than halfway through her new lifestyle with Jenny Craig, happily reveals that she now fits into a dress size 18. “I mean that’s just a number, and I don’t want to get in my head about it, but, like, wow! I was sitting in a 26 to 28,” she says. While her ultimate goal is to lose 20kg, Casey admits she has taken a more relaxed approach this time, after trying every fad diet under the sun, and instead of focusing on the scales, she’s focusing on the positive impact the process is having on her mental health.

“It’s beyond,” says the singer. My anxiety has subsided it’s still there, but it’s so much more manageable. When you're eating good and feeling good, the mental health side of life does start to pipe up. And when those past traumas do come up, I know I now have the tools to go, OK, this is how I'm feeling and this is how I’m going to get through this,” she says. “It’s feeling much better up there.”

IDOL BEGINNINGS

As the Australian Idol reboot nears its return, it also marks 19 years since Casey stood on the stage at the Sydney Opera House in front of millions of TV viewers and was declared the winner of season two.
