Must Sunday be the end of the week in order to lose weight?

Hi there, I'm new, forgive me if this is pretty obvious to you guys but I've read that what matters to lose weight is how many calories you eat in a week. What I'd like to know is whether this week must start on Monday and end on Sunday? Or can it start on Tuesday and end on Monday?

I ask this because this past week I've been eating much less than normal each day except Sunday, when I usually go out to have a big dinner with my brother. So let's say I am in a calorie deficit from Monday to Saturday and then on Sunday I eat a whole pizza. Would this automatically mean that my week was a waste because I ate back those calories on Sunday? That staying in a deficit from Monday to Saturday was for nothing? Or can the week start on Tuesday so that then I can consume fewer calories on Monday to compensate (like I did last Monday)? Does our body always "reset" on Monday? If so please explain how our bodies can detect the day of the week as I haven't found anything online about this.

What I've found for example is people saying that they eat at a maintenance level from Monday to Saturday, and then on Sunday barely eat anything at all, therefore ending the week at a deficit (therefore losing weight) and on Monday their bodies are reset. But would the opposite apply? Being in a deficit except for Sunday, compensate on Monday, and then reset on Tuesday? I don't want to give up my Sundays eating out with brother and we can't meet on Saturday or any other day of the week except Sunday.

I hope you guys can understand what I mean, and thanks in advance!
