Is there any thing wrong with purging just until i get started on my diet?

Your health: It's not a matter of right or wrong, but is a matter of your overall health -- esophagus and stomach, plus lots more of you. Like electrolyte balance, hydration status, tooth enamel, and your mental health as well. Using this method of weight control is an eating disorder which needs treatment. Too many health risks to continue it; its progression can lead to death. Please see your physician.
