She’s Australia’s plus-size champion, who has always embraced her curves, but now, Casey Donovan is going to make some changes!

“I don’t want to dig myself an early grave,” says the 2004 Australian Idol winner, who is worried about her health and determined to put a stop to her downward spiral of unhealthy eating habits.

In characteristically candid style the 27-year-old singer and author of online support group Big, Beautiful & Sexy has opened up online about her fears for the future.

“My name is Casey Donovan and I am morbidly obese,” she admits to herself and fans in an emotional blog post, which was shared on both the group’s Facebook page and website.

After catching sight of her appearance in the mirror, the singer and actress, who admits to late night fast food binges, confessed she has been forced to take stock of her life.

Over the years Casey, pictured in 2006 on the left and last year on the right, has been candid about her weight battles.

“What if I keep living the life I’m living and don’t do anything to help myself? What if I just keep putting the wrong foods in my mouth and don’t think of the consequences?,” she questions.
