little enough as is

"Stand up straight. Let him see that you have breasts. Gods know, you have little enough as is.”

What is the meaning of "little enough as is"? Could you give me another example of using this construction? Thank you!

Hi, Consider this example. I can't give you any bread. I have little enough as it is.

  • little enough here means we have only enough, only the minimum, no excess amount at all.
  • as it is here means 'in the present situation, in the present circumstances'.
