wow! It’s awesome that you had no reason to emotionally eat and you were able to cut back on portions. I wish I was like you.
How to lose weight
It made me
confident 
"I learned portion control and to only eat when I'm truly hungry."
How I did it: When I first got out of high school, I began over-eating to deal with all of my life changes. I also stopped excersizing thanks to not having a physical education requirement any more. This caused me to gain weight for about a year. I broke up with my high school boyfriend about a year after graduation. He was negative and was a big source of stress. Without having him around, I slowly started losing weight because I didn't have any reasons to emotionally eat. Seeing the progress from not eating except when I was hungry made me look at the portions of food I was eating on a regular basis to see where I could cut back to make more progress. I started eating less until I reached my goal weight, and now that I have successfully reached my goal weight, I am eating regular, healthy meals and excersizing to maintain my weight.
Lessons & tips: Look at your personal habits to understand where you could cut back.
