If i considered purging do i have an eating disorder?

Possibly: If you are just thinking about purging then you may not have a fully fledged eating disorder however the fact that you are thinking some about it implies there may be a body image disturbance and potentially concomitant distortion in your beliefs about what constitutes a normative eating pattern. I would consider talking to a doctor about your feelings. Stay safe!
