to slim down you should eat healthy foods (of course) but you should also work out. I do not mean lift weights because that is just plain old body building and may not make you petite The sports that help you loose weight over all and do not build much muscle (to slim down you must build some what muscle but not a lot to still be petite). Swimming and Running. These are the two sports I can think of that help you loose weight becoming small as well as looking toned (with muscle). But of course for this to work you must eat well and exercise regularly -if you can not do it everyday then do it every other day or always three times a week. Regularity! - not killing yourself... eventually you may be able to do it everyday or every other day. Studies have shown that building more muscle actually burns more calories. (webMD.com) So its about finding the happy medium between muscle and slimness. Sincerely, -High school swimmer and X track star as well as health fanatic.

Aerobic exercises don't do as much to build muscle as weight lifting, but they aren't as effective for burning fat either.
