Roz gave great advice.  Still, at 3 years out, I share meals with those I eat with (Gina!!!).  The people at the restaurant don't even blink at it anymore.  And really early out I'd just pick off other people's plates. 

Do what is comfy for you.  If you want to order a meal (or appetizer) yourself, you will have something to take home.  Take a look at the menu ahead of time.  Also, perhaps drink a protein drink ahead of time so if there's nothing on the menu you can tolerate, you at least won't be hungry. 

I do remember my first Thanksgiving.  It was at my daughters' house, and I was 1 month out.  I used a coaster plate, put some mashed potatoes, stuffing, small amt of turkey with gravy on it and watched others eat.  I finished my plate after they finished theirs and I couldn't believe the amounts they ate, and knew I used to eat like that too.

You won't blow anything.  Just be careful with adding new foods when you go out to eat. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Good advice was already given!  So I will back them up!  Don't order a big meal!  I'd see if you can get a plate and just eat a little bit of everyone elses!!  You will be more than satisfied!  Look forward to next year, but don't ru****!!

I agree with Gina....I watch people fill their plates and stuff themselves!  And the only thing I can think is !!!!!!!!  Have a happy Thanksgiving!!
