''Women who weigh 300 pounds should not wear yoga pants''Florida teacher Kelley Markland posted a picture of the letter to Facebook expressing her shock and disappointment.

''Anyone who knows me, knows that I care deeper and stronger than many. I am a sensitive woman and I despise cruelty towards others. At 36 years old, I am STILL being made fun of.'' ''I have never pretended to be pretty or look good in clothing, I have never tried to be flashy or show off.'' ''Wearing my "fun" leggings gave me a tad bit of confidence in not looking sloppy all the time. I'm sorry that some of you may not like it, but I'm not dressing for you. All the hate in this world, and you have to pick on me for this?! Thank you for making me feel like absolute, complete shit. So unbelievably disappointed in people anymore.'' She said.While many of those who saw the post commented to express their disgust that someone would do that, others took a different approach. Many friends and even anonymous people sent Kelley flowers to remind her of the good in the world. But as well as flowers, Kelley began receiving tons of pictures of other women in their leggings in solidarity with the body-shamed mother. Kelley is still receiving flowers and pictures of women in leggings weeks after the incident took place. The anonymous letter may have been from one horrible bully but there are hundreds of people who support Kelley and encourage women to be confident.
