No it would hurt them. Making someone vomit is harmful. I think you might be thinking about the drug "Antabuse" which causes the person to become violently nauseated if they drink any more alcohol. That medication does help people stop drinking.

How can you buy ipecac without your parents noticing if you don't have a car?

Perhaps the best thing for you to do would be to talk to your parents about your concern for you weight. It would be far better if they would help you get in touch with a good exercise coach and/or weight loss doctor. Ipecac can kill you the very first time you use it, becaues it messes with your heart. That's why the benefits of using it (such as using it to treat a case of accidental poisoning) MUST outweigh the risks of permanent heart damage or death.
